I was looking for an all-in-one solution for booking, invoicing, and workflow management. > > **Cons**: The Booking function doesn’t have all the features you see in other booking platforms such as manual scheduling and schedule blocking. It’s a little clunky but I believe it’s still being developed. > > I was looking for a platform that could serve several functions at a reasonable price point. I found it in 17 Hats, and I’m always learning something new. ----- ### "Simplifying & Streamlining Small Business Management" — 5.0/5 > **Danielle** | *23 November 2024* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Honestly, condensing my business systems from multiple to a single platform. Plus, I can run my multiple different businesses from the same platform for different "brands" feature 17hats offers. It's amazing\! > > **Cons**: Any questions and feedback I've had, I've been able to get answered\! > > When I first signed up for 17hats in 2018, it simplified my business systems from 5 to 1 single system, saving me so much time and money. I love how it has so many useful features and functionalities in a single platform that helps me run my business professionally and with high quality service. The multiple brands feature has also allowed me to run 3 different businesses out of a single system. I am in 17hats daily, and I couldn't be happier with this platform, as well as the team behind it. Thank you 17hats\! ----- ### "Poor Quality" — 1.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *11 February 2021* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the idea of templates, streamlining and having everything in one place. > > **Cons**: Where do I begin? Customer service is only via text messaging or email and response takes up to 3 hours. I cannot speak to anyone on the phone which was extremely frustrating. All the learning is through videos and I think the videos are well done, however, I prefer a more personal approach. The learning curve for me was extremely high as I am not a techy person to begin with. I even bought the additional business tips videos and that was more of a how to grow my business verses how to work with 17 hats. Eventually, I gave up because there was so much to learn. It was a complete waste of my time and money. > > Pretty awful. I learned of 17 hats at a convention. I am in the wedding industry and create one of a kind ceremonies for couples. After speaking with the reps, I was convinced that 17 hats would be easy and be of great help for streamlining my business. I spent at least 30 hours watching videos and inputting data, templates, questionnaires and still was not successful. It seemed to be an endless learning curve for me. I even bought the business tips videos at an additional fee thinking that would help. It was more about how to grow my business rather than helping me understand 17 hats. Once I decided to close my account, they were helpful in guiding me however, they did not ask me what they could have done better. Very disappointing. ----- ### "A must-have tool for every small business." — 5.0/5 > **Valentina** | *11 November 2024* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the automation and how easy it is to get work done without actually being there to do everything. > > **Cons**: Honestly, I'm happy with it, can't find any cons. Maybe the amount of time you have to put in at the beginning to learn the platform and to set up everything. But once that's done, it's done. > > I've been using 17hats since 2018\! Couldn't do without it, honestly. All the clients are in one place, with invoices and automatic reminders so I don't have to chase payments. Questionnaires, quotes and contracts are a daily process. Workflows make my life easier in so many ways and online scheduling is so convenient. It's a must-have tool for every small business\! ----- ### "I love it\! It saves my sainity\!" — 5.0/5 > **Katie** | *28 August 2024* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can be as simple or as complex as your business needs it to be\! No flat one price fits all. > > **Cons**: For the longest time they didnt have an app but now they do... they dodnt have online booking but now they do... honeslty i cant think of anything.. > > I bought them over 10 years ago on the basic plan to just get myself going. And then i had a corporate job and negelected them for 5 years. Finally i went back to my business and had to do a massive cleanup due to me not organizing 17hats correctly to begin with. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/403005/17hats?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/403005/17hats) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
