SMBs get a beautiful customizable booking website, or teams can insert a booking widget to the website. The system offers a full range of different booking website templates that administrators can choose from and then operators can personalize each one so that it fits the brand colors as well as add images of the logo, service providers and company locations. What differentiates SimplyBook.me from other booking systems is that it is based on custom features. So, administrators can pick the custom features to include in the booking system and then pay accordingly. Custom features allow operators to accept payments, enable Intake forms, offer Instagram bookings, sell gift cards, offer loyalty points, implement waiting lists and more. The clients will receive booking reminders sent either by email or SMS. With the system, users can connect with Facebook, Instagram or Google and thereby add a 'book now' button, allowing clients to book an appointment from selected channels. Users can download the admin app, and be notified every time a new booking comes in. Supervisors can see the calendar for the day, access clients and of course add, change or delete a booking if needed. By using SimplyBook.me operators can also nurture the relationship with clients. Professionals can have a list of all clients who have booked services and send automatic book soon notifications, emails, and more to let customers know about the latest offerings or send promotions and discounts. Stakeholders can also offer clients a branded client app, enabling customers to rebook services. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 1293 users.

Anything that needs booking I turn to this software for use. Keeping my appointment management consistently syncing with the rest of my schedule has become an assistant all on its own, something that adds an additional layer of saved time. A friendly User Interface means booking management is easy to look at and stay on top of. > > **Cons**: Not too much to be said about bugs and issues Ive encountered using this software, I never encounter problems outside of its intended usage. > > Really enjoying how easy it is to schedule appointments and go on with my day while setting future tasks in motion. I can even make restaurant reservations for my team when necessary, encompassing a lot of needs for the office in terms of time management. ----- ### "Four Happy Years Using SimplyBook.me for Our Service Businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Hisham** | *5 June 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that SimplyBook.me was easy to set up and flexible enough for different types of bookings. For my business, it works well for managing services, time slots, customer details, and online payments in one place. The booking page also looks professional without needing too much technical work. > > **Cons**: The setup can feel a bit confusing at the beginning because there are many features and settings. Some parts are not always easy to find, so it takes time to understand how everything connects. Once it is set up properly, it works well, but the learning curve could be smoother. > > My overall experience with SimplyBook.me has been very positive. I use it for both Cowboy Bike Service and Tezeus Bike Service, where customers need to book different types of services, test rides, diagnostics, and repairs. It helps us keep the booking process organised and professional. Customers can choose the right service, see available time slots, and book without too much back-and-forth communication. For a small service business, it saves a lot of time and makes the customer experience smoother. There is a learning curve in the beginning, but once everything is set up, it becomes a very useful tool for managing daily bookings. ----- ### "SimplyBook.me – Great Value, Excellent Features, and Outstanding Customer Support" — 5.0/5 > **NAM HYUN** | *4 October 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about SimplyBook.me is the combination of its reasonable pricing, wide range of features, and excellent customer support. As a business owner, I need a booking system that is easy to manage while also providing various functions for appointments, services, staff, and customers. SimplyBook.me offers many useful features at a reasonable price, especially compared with other similar booking platforms. What impressed me the most, however, is the customer support. Whenever I have a question or encounter an issue, I can contact the support team and receive a quick and clear explanation. The staff are always very friendly, patient, and helpful, which makes it much easier to solve problems and continue managing my business without unnecessary delays. I also appreciate that the system continues to provide useful functions as my business needs change. Overall, the combination of functionality, affordability, and responsive customer service is what I like most about SimplyBook.me. > > **Cons**: One thing I found slightly difficult at first was that SimplyBook.me offers so many features and customization options that it takes a little time to understand and set everything up properly. For a first-time user, some of the settings and functions may feel a little unfamiliar. However, the time needed to learn and set up the system felt relatively short, especially because the customer support team was always available to provide quick and clear explanations whenever I had questions. The support team was very friendly and helpful, which made the learning process much easier. Overall, while it may take a little time to become familiar with all the features, I found the learning period relatively short compared with the wide range of functions that SimplyBook.me provides. > > My overall experience with SimplyBook.me has been very positive. I find the system practical and easy to use, and I especially appreciate the wide range of features available at a reasonable price. It provides many useful tools for managing bookings, services, staff, and customers, which makes it easier to manage my business. At first, it took a little time to become familiar with all the different functions and settings. However, the learning period felt relatively short, and whenever I had questions, the customer support team was always available to provide quick and clear assistance. The support staff are also very friendly, patient, and professional, which I really appreciate. Whenever I encountered an issue, I felt that I could get help without having to wait for a long time. Overall, SimplyBook.me has made managing our booking system more convenient and efficient. Considering the reasonable pricing, variety of features, and excellent customer support, I am very satisfied with my overall experience and would recommend it to other businesses. ----- ### "Ok for services I guess" — 3.0/5 > **Katrin** | *8 August 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great features (to have a functional booking system, forget the 'standard' plan, you will need the 'pro' one for sure) overall, great customer service. I like the idea of the scheduling app for providers as well as clients. > > **Cons**: The provider app doesn't have enough functionality to really be useful (this seems to be an issue with all booking systems..) The main disappointment: The features don't work together, even if following the slightly convoluted instructions of roundabout ways from customer service. 2 way sync is pointless - if you're like me and that feature was a main driver to sign up, don't. Bookings for group sessions synced to the calendar create an 'external event' and therefore block further bookings for that time block. The system doesn't recognise it's own bookings. If you're a solo entrepreneur with a life who can't spend constant time on a laptop to block out times in your calendar AND the booking system, this unfortunately makes the whole thing obsolete. > > The customer service is prompt and with small things, very helpful. I just spent over an hour to explain the above issue - not a user problem, but features not working. For the price I expect a smooth operation (setting everything up is very time consuming with many steps and cross referencing.. I trialled acuity, offering tree, momence, all in the same price ball park) so it is frustrating to run into those issues and then be told to send it to the developers as feedback. Duh, if they actually would have tried out the advertised features like a studio owner would use them, it would be obvious. ----- ### "Essential, Secure, and Efficient Scheduling for Family Research\!" — 5.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *24 July 2026* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: SimplyBook.me has become an invaluable asset for our research lab, streamlining how we coordinate study sessions with parents and their children. What we like best is how incredibly safe and easy it is to use for both our administrative team and the participating families. Managing schedules for child research requires a high level of data security and clear communication, and this platform delivers on both fronts while saving us countless hours of administrative work. The automated reminder system has drastically reduced missed appointments, and parents frequently comment on how straightforward the booking process is from their phones or computers. > > **Cons**: While the platform is excellent, navigating the initial setup takes a little bit of time due to the wide variety of customizable features and calendar settings available. Additionally, accessing the advanced security protocols and customized intake forms required for academic research does mean upgrading to their higher-tier paid plans. However, these minor setup and cost considerations are far outweighed by the massive amount of time we save and the professional, secure experience the platform provides to our research families. > > Our overall experience with SimplyBook.me has been exceptionally positive, as it completely transformed our participant scheduling from a time-consuming chore into a smooth, automated workflow. It has bridged the gap between our lab's strict security needs and the convenience that busy parents expect when signing up for a study. The platform operates reliably in the background, allowing our research team to focus less on email back-and-forth and more on the actual data collection and science. It has proven to be a highly dependable, secure, and professional solution that has significantly boosted our appointment show-up rates and enhanced our lab's public image. ----- Page: 1 / 53\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/156049/simplybookme?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/156049/simplybookme) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
