Best booking software for self-employed professionals: how to choose
The best booking software for self-employed professionals depends on how you work. Compare calendars, client records, payments and client acquisition, not just the subscription. Boeked is one option for service businesses, not an independently ranked winner.
Compare daily workflows, not just feature ticks
For a solo business, start with a personal booking link, service duration and email reminders. For a team, check individual services, working days and access rights. Test your actual treatments and a normal working week before switching.
When does Boeked fit?
Boeked combines online appointments, client records, recorded payments, stock and marketing. Its standard plan includes up to three separate calendars. It suits a small salon, practice or studio wanting appointments and administration together.
When might another tool fit better?
For marketplace client acquisition, consider Fresha or Treatwell. For two-way Google Calendar sync, consider Salonized. Boeked offers a read-only, one-way calendar subscription; it is not full accounting software or a certified medical record.
Price, team and additional costs
€19/month including VAT for the owner plus up to 2 staff (max. 3 separate calendars). Larger teams: Boeked Pro+ by quote. 30-day free trial without a credit card. Stripe, Twilio and Brevo charges are separate depending on usage and your provider plan.
