10to8 Appointment Scheduling Software vs Assistant.to

Likelihood to Recommend

I personally have found the tool to be were very well-suited for many applications within academia, and obviously it can be used in any situation where the scheduling of clients is important. There are some tools and features within 10to8 that I personally do not utilize, such as collecting payments for services, but they appear to be a useful tool and feature for businesses that may need to utilize the service. In my particular experience, we utilize the tool to reach out to approximately 90 to 120 students on a monthly basis. The students are encouraged through emails and other course announcements to book an appointment with me. The tool will sync with my personal calendars so that there is never a conflict in scheduling and students are able to add themselves to my calendar and book an appointment on autopilot. The tool also sends them an email and text notifications with reminders of the times that I have set up. One thing that I've come to rely on is that many of the tools are set it and forget it, meaning it runs by itself in the background, does its job, and I seldom have to worry about the functionality.

Assistant.to is well suited for anyone working with a large number of clients at once who need to schedule multiple meetings. If those clients do not have a background in online scheduling, then using this tool may not be the best solution. Assistant.to is a great tool for quickly scheduling meetings with options across 3 days, but for those wanting more flexibility you may want to consider Calendly.

Cons

I would love to have this software connect to a client notes history, where I can keep visit notes with clients all under their appointment times.

The app currently does not save the availability times that I select, therefore I have to re-select my availability every time I sent meeting options.
The app does not have the ability to customize the theme or styles of the meeting times. It'd be nice to allow users to choose between a set of themes to better fit their company's brand.
If Assistant.to had a scheduling link option like Calendly has, that would be another improvement. Sometimes we'll have customers who cannot meet until the following week, so having a scheduler link would be helpful in those situations.

10to8 Appointment Scheduling Software 9.0

Based on 2 answers

The tool is the all singing and dancing ultimate appointment and scheduling tool suitable to almost any business that requires their customers/ clients to book in for a service. Has so many features and works really well with many third party tools that can save you a lot of time and hassle. It would of been a 10 if 10to8/had its own mobile app not web based app

Alternatives Considered

I have used the WriteUpp service which has an online booking component but switched to 10to8. While WriteUpp provides an excellent service with a wide range of features, a lot of what it offers I don't need as a sole practitioner. It was effective though. I received bookings and payments through WriteUpp and it was generally an attractive booking system for clients.

When I first started at my current company, I used this tool because it was what the rest of the team used. However, since I learned about Calendly, who recently released a feature similar to Assistant.to, I've actually switched to Calendly. Calendly also has the ability to create a scheduling link where someone can choose a time based on the parameters you set. This has proven to be more helpful for certain clients.

Return on Investment

Having this service has allowed my team to spend more time on other tasks as clients can take scheduling, changing dates and times into their own hands and the system keeps track of it all! It has been a great tool for our whole team!

It has reduced our back and forth setting up appointments allowing sales to get more appointments faster.
Our client success team is able to quickly provide their available time.
Only real con is that the calendar is not real time and if a person clicks on a time that is not open, they don't find out until after they've gone to the site. But that is a limit of emails, not their tech.
