Who Should Choose Setmore?
Setmore is one of the most generous free booking tools on the market. If you are a small team of up to four staff members and need a simple, clean scheduler without spending a dollar, Setmore is genuinely hard to beat. The interface is intuitive, and the built-in Teleport video calling is a nice touch for remote consultancies.
- Small teams (up to 4 staff) who want a capable free booking solution
- Businesses that need built-in video appointments without a Zoom subscription
- Users who prefer a simple, minimal interface and don't need deep customization
- Budget-conscious startups that want SMS reminders at a low monthly cost

- Businesses that want completely white-label booking with no third-party logos
- Teams that need real-time, two-way Google Calendar sync on every plan
- Owners who want managed onboarding instead of spending hours on self-configuration

Pricing
Setmore's free plan supports up to four staff members, unlimited appointments, and basic email reminders. It is one of the most generous free tiers in the industry. Paid plans start at $12/month (Pro) and $9/month per user (Team), adding features like two-way calendar sync, SMS reminders, and custom branding.
EverBooking starts at $49/month for Starter and $149/month for Professional. We do not offer a free tier because every plan includes managed setup and ongoing support. If your time is worth more than the hours you would spend configuring software yourself, the value proposition is clear.
Setup & Onboarding
Setmore is designed for self-serve setup. You can create an account, add services, invite staff, and start accepting bookings within 15 minutes. The interface is clean and the learning curve is gentle. However, advanced customization — like embedding on your domain or removing Setmore branding — requires a paid plan and some technical effort.
EverBooking is fully managed. We schedule a discovery call, configure your services and staff, set up calendar sync, brand your widget, and train your team. You approve the configuration before going live. This is ideal if you would rather focus on your business than on software administration.
Features & Integrations
Setmore offers a solid feature set for its price: SMS and email reminders, intake forms, video appointments via Teleport, and integrations with Square, Stripe, Facebook, and Instagram. The simplicity is a feature — you are unlikely to get lost in menus.
EverBooking matches Setmore on reminders, forms, and payments, but adds white-label hosting on your domain, real-time two-way calendar sync, industry-specific workflows, and REST API access. We also integrate with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for video appointments rather than using a proprietary video tool.
Support
Setmore provides email support and a comprehensive help center. Response times are generally reasonable for a platform at this price point. There is no dedicated account manager, and phone support is not available on lower tiers.
EverBooking offers email and chat support with sub-48-hour response times on Starter, and sub-12-hour priority support on Professional. Every Professional and Enterprise client gets a dedicated account manager who knows their business and can adjust configuration on their behalf.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Setmore's free plan really unlimited?
Setmore's free plan allows unlimited appointments for up to four staff members. The main limitations are one-way calendar sync, Setmore branding on your booking page, and no SMS reminders. For many small teams, these trade-offs are acceptable.
Can I remove Setmore branding if I switch to EverBooking?
Yes — and you do not need to pay extra for it. EverBooking is white-label by default. Your booking page, confirmation emails, and reminders all display your brand, not ours.
Does EverBooking offer video appointments like Setmore's Teleport?
Yes. EverBooking integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. You can auto-generate meeting links and include them in confirmation emails. We do not charge extra for video appointments.
Is EverBooking worth the price increase over Setmore Pro?
If you only need basic scheduling and don't mind self-configuration, Setmore Pro at $12/month is excellent value. If you want white-label branding, managed setup, two-way calendar sync, and a dedicated account manager, EverBooking's higher price reflects the service layer included.
How does the migration from Setmore work?
We export your services, staff profiles, availability settings, client list, and booking history from Setmore and recreate them in EverBooking. We also rebuild your intake forms and apply your branding. You review the setup before it goes live.
