Appointment scheduling with optional custom features
Rental webshop with one plan
SimplyBook.me is built for service businesses: a customer picks a service, a provider (a hairdresser, a trainer, a room, a court) and a time slot in that provider's calendar. Around that core sit more than 60 optional "custom features" such as payments, deposits, coupons, memberships, classes, a client app and an AI assistant; each plan includes a number of them (1 on Free, 3 on Basic, 8 on Standard). For rental, its own help center says "SimplyBook.me has no option of booking days": a multi-day rental is modelled as a service of several hours, and quantities as the number of participants.
Be-Bookable is built around one job: let customers book and pay for rental products online, and give you a clear overview of the orders that come in. A customer picks a rental period, a quantity and accessories, and the stock is checked live. There is one plan with every feature, unlimited products, orders and team members, and no commission. Staff calendars, memberships and classes are not part of it, and we say so in the table below.
