Setmore
Automate Bookings & Payments with Online Appointment Software. Reach customers and book appointments with them online in a simple, easy-to-manage calendar that saves you time and helps your business grow.

Picktime and Setmore are both excellent at one thing: making sure you don’t forget appointments while simultaneously ensuring your clients have no excuse for missing theirs. They both graciously offer free plans, knowing full well that once you start using them, you’ll be hooked. They integrate seamlessly with calendars, send polite but firm reminders via email and SMS and allow multiple staff members to pretend they’re highly organized. Also, they exist on the internet, which is very convenient given the modern preference for not physically being anywhere.

Picktime, the younger of the two, hails from India and has been diligently helping salons, gyms and consultants since 2017. It proudly integrates with Zoom and Google Meet, ensuring that no one escapes a scheduled meeting, no matter how far they run. Businesses with multiple locations can rejoice, as Picktime understands that sometimes you need to be in two places at once—or at least pretend you are. It even lets you book rooms and equipment, because what’s an appointment without a place to sit and something to poke at?

Setmore, on the other hand, has been strutting its stuff since 2011 from the USA, catering to small businesses, freelancers and anyone who likes to charge money for their time. It plays particularly well with Square and Stripe, making sure payments are as smooth as a well-rehearsed excuse. Unlike its younger counterpart, Setmore has a built-in system for collecting glowing reviews (or slightly less glowing ones, should things go terribly wrong). And for those willing to part with a few coins, premium users even get live chat support, which is essentially the modern-day equivalent of a customer service wizard appearing in a puff of digital smoke.
