Switching from Setmore?

Free scheduling comes with free limitations.

Setmore's free plan sounds great until you need payments, SMS reminders, or charter-specific features.

Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with Setmore

Free plan is too limited for real business

No payment processing, one-way calendar sync only, Setmore branding everywhere. You get what you pay for.

SMS and payments require paid plans

Want text reminders? That's $12/user/month. Payment processing? Also paid. The 'free' part fades quickly.

Generic appointment scheduling

Setmore handles salon appointments and consultations. Weather-dependent fishing charters with waivers? Not their thing.
