Considered Both Products	Booker Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker Ease of use of the platform, ease of access, and a wide set of features make Booker outstanding. It has a wider reach in comparison to its competitors as it has a niche customer base. Booker helps to build a strong customer base as compared to others and also is a one-stop … Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Marie Gonzales, Ed.D. Chief Business Officer Chose Booker Doodle has been around forever and it is very easy to use. However, I have never used the paid option. Booker is very standard, looks good, and is affordable. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker I have used ProSalon before and loved them! Their reporting was second to none and they even customized reports for us. Though visually, Booker has them beat. We've tested many others but ultimately have stayed with Booker because it is a big undertaking to change and because … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Frazier Spa Manager Chose Booker Booker has a much more powerful backing and recognition. Incentivized Helpful? Alonso Salguero Owner Chose Booker Definitely stacks up better than Virtual. Not sure about the other two as we have only seen them superficially. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker I currently use this at the job I am at now. The other one we have worked with was Google Calendar (not recommended). We are happy with Mind Body for the company that it is. Incentivized Helpful? Rafi Qureshi Chief Investment Officer Chose Booker When we tried Micros, though it has robust hardware and software, It is not meant for salons. Square again the same thing, it is meant for small non salon and non service oriented businesses. Booker is by far the best of all salon softwares we have used. Incentivized Helpful? KC K. Joann Clemens Bookkeeper Chose Booker AccuPOS did not have a scheduling module or gift certificate management module when we switched and those were critical needs at the time. For such a small module, AccuPOS did a fantastic job directly and concisely bridging daily activity to QuickBooks. Incentivized Helpful? JL James Lyons Hair Colorist Chose Booker Booker is more designed for salons and is much easier to use and better for the clients Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker Booker is a bit more detailed and function-savvy. Incentivized Helpful? Tara Marie Hoxha Spa Manager Chose Booker I've used Millennium in the past - I love the LOOK of SpaBooker better but I don't recall ever having the amount of glitches as Booker has. Their membership process was much more streamlined as well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker I was a Harms/Millennium user for years and if I could, I would go back to them. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker I can't say enough how easy Booker is to navigate and how user friendly it is. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker Spasoft was expensive and the database needs support maintenance often, plus the SQL component of the software was outdated. We received no communications from Spasoft on upgrades. Motionsoft was a property installed server based product that never worked for us. FitLinxx was a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Booker I have used Schedulicity, Google Calendar, Square, and PayPal in the past. Booker is way more detailed. But at the same time there are more steps to get the same result and it is not as simple and clear. Incentivized Helpful?	Punchpass No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	Booker	Punchpass
Likelihood to Recommend	Booker is very user friendly with videos to help our staff who are setting up schedules. It has very robust features that our school district didn't really need when we piloted it. It has a great option for widgets to be added to websites, whether district or school site. We find that the more widgets are available, the more appreciative our parents are. This is definitely a product that is used in the business world and not in the school district world so it doesn't really have the personalization we need as a school district or a school sites. Should the site change its potential customers, it would be a great fit for us because scheduling is very challenging in a large school district, be it at the district level or at individual school sites Incentivized Lisa Marie Gonzales, Ed.D.

Pros	Booker is great for customer management. You can easily add customers with numerous areas to put additional information for them. With the addition of Frederick, sending out Birthday emails and contacting them via email is a breeze. I have found Booker to be extremely easy to teach new hires how to use. Because it is so visual, I find that anyone can pick up the basics of how to use this software very quickly. Booker makes it extremely easy for a company with multiple locations to be able to toggle between those locations. Frederick has been a great addition!

Cons	Having multiple salons, somehow seeing clients' history from another location easier than having to open the other location's data Perhaps link telephone calls to Booker so software can recognize the client and open their profile. I know this is a long shot but .... Marketing tools tha integrate to the software Incentivized Alonso Salguero Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Because I'm so familiar with it. I'll definitely reconsider. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	I think Booker is very simple for people who are trying to run a gym of about 200 or less clients with minimal apparel/product. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	There is usually a long wait when calling customer service but I now use the messaging option and my questions are answered very quickly. Booker has helped me with situations I thought were out of their range. If it wasn't for Booker support I would be very lost and confused.

Return on Investment	Being able to book appointments as well as process payments securely is definitely a positive. The time employees have to spend to process a transaction is a negative. The time spent on trying to find the report you are looking for is a negative. Employees have a difficult time resolving any error or possible error in Booker because reporting is difficult to understand.
