BookSteam vs. SalesRabbit

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.

SalesRabbit is generally a good sales tool for field sales reps, the UI is simplistic enough and the actions needed to log activity are straightforward. Creating new dispositions or custom fields is simple. We as an organization have moved away from SalesRabbit as of May 2022 to one of their competitors mainly for two reasons. The first being it took them a few years to get an analytics/dashboard platform integrated into Sales Rabbit, they have one now that is in beta that appears promising. The second reason was too many inconsistencies with reps' data not syncing timely back to SalesRabbit or not at all. Reps are always looking for immediate satisfaction meaning if they mark a home as a sale they want to see it show up on the leaderboard within minutes not hours.

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

We considered HubSpot CRM but since we are already using HubSpot Marketing Hub and the cost is too high for this so we purchased SalesRabbit. Got more features in the same cost.
