GigaBook

Pros: So many features to add and choose from and intergrates with many other programs like mailchimp, takes online payments, the customization is a big features

Cons: YOU CANT ACCESS THE DATA ON CUSTOM FORMS IN ANY USABLE WAY! the only access you have to the information the client provided in a custom form is in a really small scrolling window on the back end. You can't export it, email it, print it or even COPY & PASTE client answers! This killed it for me! My business requires the detailed answers be available to my employees who are providing service right away. I spent a week with numerous back and forth emails on this and in the end no reply on if they were going to fix the issue. Waste of time building it up to find this out when testing the system.

Overall: NONE. I built it over a 3 week period only to find I couldn't use it with the Custom form issues (not being able to export client answers in any way)

Pros: We use the software to book people in an event space. It is well laid out and tracks your bookings easily.

Cons: It must be managed properly. If someone doesn't take care of managing the bookings it can make less straightforward for the outside user.

Overall: Cuts out some of the middle man stuff with booking. It's less time consuming, to manage.

Pros: The cost is affordable!

Cons: trying to figure out how to add custom forms to specific emails

Overall: This software has helped my freelance makeup artist business booking, client info, appointment reminders etc at an affordable price ! I can even invoice the clients and accept credit card payments. I can customize forms too!

Recommendations to other buyers: Try it out for yourself with the free demo

Comments: I have been able to make it much easier for my clients to book online with my available schedule that I set. Clients can see all the available times and schedule at their convenience. The automated reminders also made it much easier to communicate. I haven't had one client miss their appointment since I started using this.

Pros: It has a lot of polished features, every you would need is there! The pricing is really great as well.

Cons: They used to have phone support and now it's email. I liked when I could speak to someone on the phone!
