Allcal vs. BookSteam

BookSteam is suited pretty much for any business that takes appointments. It's perfect for businesses who don't want the hassle of phone scheduling, rescheduling, calling people back and talking to the answering machine. Everything is automated and done online. I believe they even offer class scheduling, so that is also perfect for businesses who need group scheduling.

• Online scheduling, canceling, re-booking customers.
• Taking payments online via PayPal at the time the client books.
• Sending out sms reminders and sms confirmations so clients will not miss their event.

• Might be a more complex tool - needs its learning curve
• The possibility to use it as a way to provide classes or webinars in series may be a bit complicated

Incentivized

Independently Invited by TrustRadius

A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info

I tried to use few other scheduling systems before but I always thought they were somewhat incomplete, something was always missing, from design point of view to missing features. For me it's always about ease of use and how everything is organized. I can say that BookSteam got it all figured out and I recommend it

• Customers are happy as they can book themselves online any time.
• Our staff is happy as they have their own access.
