The True Cost of Setmore
Free tier lacks advanced features.
BookingAPI provides all features essentially free with tiny per-booking costs.
BookingAPI is built specifically for barbershops, salons, spas, and independent service businesses. We connect directly to your Google Calendar so all appointments show up instantly. Your customers just click a link, pick a time, and book. That's it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I import my clients from Setmore?
Because BookingAPI syncs directly with Google Calendar, any existing appointments you have on your calendar are automatically blocked off. There's no complex migration needed.
How do you make money if there is no monthly fee?
We charge just 3 cents per appointment booked through our platform. The first 20 bookings are completely free to try it out. No hidden fees.
