My biggest frustration with my current system is that it doesn't send WhatsApp reminders — only emails, which most of my clients ignore. Does Trafft or Trafft offer WhatsApp integration for appointment reminders in the UK? Happy to pay extra for it if so.

For deposits specifically, SimplyBook.me is really smooth. The client gets a card payment screen as part of the booking flow — it doesn't feel like a separate step or like you're being suspicious of them. I take £10 on everything and no one has complained since I set it up properly.

Honestly? Just go with Jane App. I know there are loads of options but for a solo holistic therapy practice in the UK it covers everything you actually need — online booking, SMS reminders, deposits, basic reporting. Don't overthink it. Half the features on the premium plans you'll never use.

I tested Treatwell and Fresha side by side for a month. Treatwell won on price, Fresha won on features. For a solo mobile therapist just starting out, Treatwell's free plan is hard to argue with. You can always switch later once you know exactly what you need.

BookPin handled this for me — www.bookpin.co.uk. I was losing money to no-shows every single month before I started taking deposits through the system. Now it's completely normal, clients don't push back on it, and I haven't had a genuine no-show in weeks. Best appointment booking platform for deposit handling.
