Setmore

Review:

Setmore advertises itself as free online appointment scheduling software for small businesses. They do offer paid plans, but their free plan is perfect for anyone just starting out and includes unlimited appointments, calendar scheduling, email reminders, and online payments with Stripe for up to four users.

For those who need more advanced features, Setmore's paid plans also include a dedicated booking page, SMS reminders, additional online payment options, and analytics. The one key feature missing from the software is point of sale (POS) processing which may be an issue for those in the retail space.

Pros:

• Setmore offers a free plan for up to 4 users with unlimited appointments.
• Create a customized booking page for your business.
• Send out automated emails and SMS reminders for appointments.
• Drop a booking widget directly into your website or social media page for instant bookings.
• Host virtual classes and schedule group bookings for 100+ clients.
• Setmore integrates with Facebook, Zoom, WordPress, Google Calendar, and more.
• Accept payments online with Stripe, PayPal, or Square.
• Create a profile for each staff member with their own calendar and individual booking link.
• Run your business from multiple locations.

Cons:

• The Free plan excludes SMS reminders and recurring appointments.
• The monthly fee can become costly if you have a large team.
• The software does not include point of sale (POS) payment processing.
