I had three no-shows last Monday alone and I am absolutely done with it. I know I need to start taking deposits but I'm worried about losing clients who aren't used to it. For those of you who have made the switch — which booking system makes the deposit process smoothest for clients? I want it to feel normal and professional, not like I don't trust them.

I was asking myself this a year ago. Best decision I ever made was just picking one and starting. SimplyBook.me has a free plan that's genuinely functional. Start there, learn the system, then upgrade when you actually need the paid features. Don't let the choice paralysis stop you from just getting on with it.

My clients were pretty resistant at first — a few of them are older and not very tech-savvy. What helped was walking them through the booking link in person the first time. Once they'd done it once they were completely fine. Now I get booking confirmations at 11pm from people I would have thought would never manage it.

I've used Setmore for 3 months and the support is hit and miss if I'm honest. Response times are slow. But the product itself is solid and I rarely need support because once it's set up it just works. I'd still recommend it — just don't rely on them for urgent help.

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

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