 "summary": "Shopify appointment booking that lives in the storefront: Calendly-style slots for services, classes, rentals and events, with staff and multi-location schedules, deposits and partial payments, and the money taken at your own checkout. Bookings are unlimited on every tier — the ladder is gated on locations and team members.",
 "best_for": "Shopify merchants running appointment-based services — salons, studios, clinics, rentals, classes and events — who want the booking calendar inside the store they already sell from, with staff and multi-location schedules and payment taken at the Shopify checkout.",
 "skip_if": "you do not sell on Shopify; you need a booking system that stands on its own website and payment flow so customers who never visit your shop can still book; or you run more than twenty staff or locations and want a published price before you commit.",
 "honest_knock": "The free plan is a demonstration rather than a plan. One service and one team member means a salon with two stylists, or a studio running two class types, is already on Starter — so treat $9.99 a month as the real entry price, not zero. From there the ladder is gated on locations and team members rather than on how much you actually book: five, ten and twenty at $9.99, $19.99 and $39.99. A busy single-location business therefore pays the same as a quiet one, which is generous, while a small chain climbs the ladder for reasons that have nothing to do with volume. Above twenty locations or team members the published table stops and you have to ask. And the whole thing only exists inside Shopify — the calendar rides on your storefront, checkout and POS — so there is nothing here for a business that takes bookings anywhere else.",

  "notes": "(read 2026-09-08 on apps.shopify.com/appointment-booking-bookeasy and checked against the vendor's own pricing section on logbase.io, which lists the same tiers) Four tiers billed in USD every 30 days, and the meter is locations and team members rather than bookings — every tier, the free one included, carries unlimited bookings. Free costs nothing and covers one service and one team member, minute or hour scheduling, lead and buffer time, email notifications, timezone and multi-language support, blockout dates and slots, and live support by chat, email and Zoom. Starter is $9.99 a month or $107.99 a year (10% off) and lifts that to five locations and team members with unlimited services, full-day, multi-day and bundle bookings, Google Calendar and Zoom, book-now-pay-later and partial payments, customer reschedule and cancel, and a universal booking button. Growth is $19.99 or $203.99 a year (15%) for ten locations and team members, deposits and multi-payment options, workflows and a custom email sender, Shopify Flow and POS, seasonal pricing and advanced bundle and multi-day conditions. Business is $39.99 or $407.99 a year (15%) for twenty locations and team members, the all-in-one booking widget, two-way Google Calendar sync per team member, advanced seasonal pricing, Klaviyo and webhook integrations and priority support. Every paid tier has a 14-day free trial. What the table does not publish is what happens above twenty locations or team members: the ladder simply ends there.",

  "name": "SimplyBook.me",
  "why": "SimplyBook.me is a standalone booking platform with its own booking page, client records and payment providers, and it works whatever you sell on. BookX makes sense the other way round: you are already committed to Shopify and you want the calendar, the staff schedule and the money to sit inside that storefront instead of beside it. The trade is reach against integration — SimplyBook.me can take a booking from someone who never sees your shop, BookX cannot, but BookX takes the payment through the checkout you already run and keeps the appointment in the same admin as the order"
