Bookafy vs. OnceHub

In my experience, Bookafy has pretty much the same features as the other well-known scheduling apps. In terms of functionality, the two obstacles I experience were setting up a hidden (not shown on the main booking page) meeting for special bonus calls you don't want anyone to have access to. Yes, you can set up a paid meeting and give someone a coupon to access it free but that seems like an extra unnecessary step. The other limitation was how ugly it looks to embed meetings on a website. The scheduler looks fine inside Bookafy, but when embedded, it doesn't flow as well. For everything else, it works well. If you want to sync the scheduler with email marketing systems, most of the integrations work through Zapier so that can be an additional cost. Bookafy focuses on the meeting schedules.

For all things bookings, including meetings, sales calls, events, and client onboarding, ScheduleOnce is the dominant software hands down. For shorter forms, such as quizzes and exercises on an online course, FormOnce is the far superior sibling as it's able to accommodate all needs, size, length, and customization.

• Easy to embed the appointment form to websites
• You can show off professionalism while booking meetings
• You can sync the appointments with Google Calendar
• Easy to use interface, so you don't waste time trying to figure out things around.

• Links calendars- no need to go back and forth between calendars, everything is synced up.
• Schedules Zoom calls with link and sends alerts to remind prospect of meeting
• Follows up to reschedule if prospect missed meeting, which saves me a ton of time.

Incentivized

• Lack of calendar customization.
• Tracking data.
• Configuration is confusing.

• I really wish I could put tracking pixels (i.e. AdWords conversion pixels) on the booking thank you pages. Having to direct to a thank you page on another platform is kind of a pain.
• The Salesforce connector pricing is a bit steep.
• Basic live chat capabilities would be awesome. Implementing a live chat widget alongside the ScheduleOnce widget can be a bit cluttered design wise.

They would not prorate a refund - I'm just out the money for services I have not used. To me, that is the WORST POSSIBLE customer service ever.

Bookafy is more advanced and has more features that I need comparing to these other brands. Calendly is very basic while Bookfy offers more robust features.

ScheduleOnce is the only platform that offered an easy way to send text messages to clients. I appreciated the ease of adding a few questions to qualify potential clients prior to getting onto a call with them. Easy to use and the customer service experience I have received has been great.

• Saves a lot of time
• Streamlines the process
• Eliminates unnecessary back and forth calling and emailing

Incentivized

• Improved efficiency - no longer waste time trying to find available time to book meetings
• Positive impact on business reputation
• Clients, prospects and colleagues love using my booking link - they have access to my availability and can schedule a meeting easily. Many positive comments about ScheduleOnce
