Schedulicity vs SimplyBook.me: Which is a better fit?

Alyse S.: Hi, I'm Alyse. I'm the owner, and I give Schedulicity a five out of five. For more reviews, click below. Before Schedulicity, I used just my Google calendar or a paper planner. And then as my business was scaling larger. I felt like I needed a more inclusive tool, and I began using Schedulicity. I want to say it was about nine years ago. I chose Schedulicity because it had an email list that I could use to notify my clients to keep up to date with them. Everything was kind of just all in the same place. And then as I was growing, it had room for other practitioners and lots of other services. It also seemed to have its own SEO, which helped my ideal clients find me. So at the beginning, I would say there was definitely a learning curve, but it was so helpful. There were YouTube videos that I could click on if I had any questions. And also, Schedulicity has a customer support, and they're called rock stars, and they are rock stars. If you reach out to them, you get a great answer. If it's not in the help section, they'll get back to you as soon as they can. And it's been really, really helpful. And then once I got into it and added other practitioners, it was so easy for me to be able to explain to them how to log in and out. So I'd say if you have any type of tech savviness, like you're able to check your emails, Schedulicity is going to be really, really easy for you. I would definitely recommend it. I would say that the only thing that is difficult or the thing that I wish that it had is being able to make different types of appointments available at different times. I had to create a whole nother profile for myself when I wanted to be in office versus virtual. Other than that, I would say do your research, see what other ones are out there. I checked out Mindbody. I checked out a bunch of different massage therapy rich scheduling apps, and I found this one to be really, really helpful for what I do. I think it's more like hairdressers and barbers that are on there, but for what I do, it works really, really well as well. So I would say do your research and come back to it, and maybe even do the trial. I believe there's a free trial where you can do a couple of appointments per month without being charged.

Speaker 1: My name is Temiloluwa or Temi. I am from Music with Temikeys and we are a music services provider. My rating for SimplyBook.me is 3 stars. I tried out SimplyBook.me and I also tried out Wix, those are the only two I've tried out so far. I loved SimplyBook.me because it had certain features I needed, like being able to book services and automated mails. To help me stay organized basically in the way I scheduled my services. Those are the main reasons I loved SimplyBook.me. Using SimplyBook.me was quite straight forward actually. Everything was easy to navigate, all the features you needed, you can just use them. It was quite straight forward actually and then whenever you get confused there are guides and videos to help you. SO it is quite straight forward. Yeah, if you planning on using SimplyBook.me, I would say just go for it. I mean depending on the plan you're paying for their features are quite useful. They come in handy. Depending on the service you're offering anyway. For me it was quite handy.
