BLAB Reviews

“Custom pages for bookings and payments”

Pros

You can set up the page exactly the way you want, turning it into a single place for bookings and payments. That cuts out all the back-and-forth with multiple emails and separate links just to confirm a booking and collect payment.

Cons

The design side of it is excellent and it really gives you a lot of creative freedom. Honestly, I don't have any complaints.

“customizable booking pages stand out”

Pros

Unlike a lot of booking platforms that seem built mainly for larger professionals, this one fits really well for people earning income through appointments. The booking pages are customizable and it offers more options and integrations than plenty of other tools I've seen.

Cons

Only thing that really stands out as a drawback is the branding. It feels cute and charming to me but I can see how it might not suit every type of business.

“Helps bring in revenue faster”

Pros

Within minutes, this software turned nothing into a polished, clean-looking booking page and that's a huge win. I can start taking appointments almost right away which helps bring in revenue faster. The end result is really what I enjoy most about it.

Cons

I haven't come across anything I dislike. I'm still using the product and working through the full implementation but so far nothing has stood out in a negative way.

“Worth the investment”

Pros

Getting the lifetime plan was definitely worth it. The page can be customized nicely and that gives it a polished look when clients see it. I also appreciate that the scheduling connects with Google Calendar since that's the main app I rely on every day to manage my plans.

Cons

I'd love to see a thank-you page for people after they book. I also wish it supported ActiveCampaign. It does connect with other email marketing tools, just not ActiveCampaign.

“Best value for money”

Pros

It does a lot more than standard booking software. The level of customization is excellent and the payment integration is a big plus. After comparing and testing plenty of other booking platforms, I haven't seen another option that offers this many features at the same price.

Cons

It gives you so much flexibility that it can seem a bit overwhelming at the beginning. There's definitely a small learning curve and it may feel confusing at first.

“outstanding support”

Pros

Having a dedicated standalone page for all my products and services has been really useful and I also appreciate being able to place links behind buy buttons. The platform is simple to work with and whenever something isn't clear, their support team is incredibly helpful.

Cons

Since I don't know HTML, customizing the booking page so it matches my website more closely is a challenge. My workaround has been to design the look and feel I want on my own site and then place the booking link behind a book button.

“Most userfriendly tool I've come across”

Pros

Right from the start, this has been one of the most user-friendly booking tools I've used. It's very simple to navigate and anytime something isn't immediately obvious, the instructions or videos are simple to find. It also covers a lot more than just basic booking, products, classes, meetings and groups are all built in. It handles everything quickly and efficiently.

Cons

Some extra customization options would make it even better. I'd really like the ability to personalize the bio for each product or service and adding team schedules would be helpful too. It would also be better if coupon or discount amounts weren't counted as revenue.

“saves a lot of time with scheduling”

Pros

The biggest win for me has been how much time this saves when scheduling clients every day. I also love how people respond when I send over my booking and appointment calendar. As a solo business owner, it really helps me stand out from competitors and creates such a professional first impression.

Cons

I'm not very tech-savvy so parts of the setup felt a bit complex at first. That said, the customer support and FAQ videos helped me work through it without too much trouble and once everything was up and running, I really haven't had many concerns.

“Tons of customization options”

Pros

Turning the booking calendar into something that feels more like a high-converting landing page is one of the best parts. There are tons of customization options and useful features and you can include things like videos, testimonials, graphics, portfolio samples, Stripe integration and more.

Cons

Getting familiar with all the features and tools takes some time. There's definitely a pretty steep learning curve at the beginning and when it's embedded on a website, it can slow the site down a bit.

“ideal for growing freelancers”

Pros

Getting a freelance business off the ground feels a lot less stressful with this software. It's a really solid option for beginners who need a simple way to stay on top of appointments and bookings. Everything is manageable and simple and it helps move your business forward without all the usual hassle. You can organize your bookings and appointments in one place which saves both time and money. There's also a helpful setup video when you're first getting started, plus built-in payment and client messaging features. The unlimited bookings and appointments are a huge bonus too.

Cons

I don't have anything negative to say about this software. It's put together really well, simple to get started with and the name fits it perfectly. Using it really does make you feel like a boss.

“Ultimate booking system”

Pros

Running podcast interview bookings through this software has been a fantastic experience. Ever since I got it set up, it has worked perfectly without a single error. It automatically sends reminder emails to my clients and it reminds me too which keeps everything on track. Honestly, it feels like the ultimate booking system for what I need.

Cons

The overall look isn't quite as polished or fancy as I think it could be. Even so, for the price, it is absolutely worth the investment.

“Stellar support”

Pros

Right out of the box, it covers almost every situation I need it to handle. It saves me a ton of time, the customer support team is responsive and genuinely helpful, the interface looks polished both for me as the admin and for my clients and the Google Calendar integration has been consistently reliable.

Cons

I don't really have any complaints. It's been excellent overall.

“offers multiple language options”

Pros

Unlimited bookings, strong security, multiple language options, time zone customization and solid mobile optimization make this a really dependable tool.

Cons

There's nothing here that feels like a downside. It keeps my work life organized and feels a lot like having a quiet executive assistant handling things in the background.

“Branding-friendly scheduling tool”

Pros

Scheduling for our customers has become hassle-free with it which was exactly what we needed. It also worked well as a replacement for the tool we were using before and the switch felt worthwhile. Being able to adjust the layout to match our branding is a big plus and their customer support has been solid whenever we've needed help.

Cons

it doesn't integrate with Big Marker so we still have to send the link to customers manually. Another downside is that each account is limited to one domain.

“Clients love flexible booking”

Pros

Having online scheduling available for my clients has been a real pleasure. They really appreciate being able to book their sessions whenever it suits their schedule.

Cons

It does take a bit of technical setup to get everything configured properly but even with that, I think most people would still be able to handle it without much trouble.

“adaptable booking setup”

Pros

There's a huge amount you can adjust in the booking setup which is one of the things I enjoy most about it. The depth of customization you can build into your bookings is honestly impressive. Having used it since the early days, I think the platform has handled its growth in complexity really well. For new users, I'd definitely suggest checking out their vlog library to understand how everything works because it's a very capable tool and it absolutely delivers on what it promises.

Cons

Since I was one of the early adopters, I did run into some delays when waiting for new features. That was really my only issue and even that isn't a concern anymore because the platform now offers more than I originally hoped for.

“Helps manage daily appointments”

Pros

Hands down, this is the best online software I've used for booking and scheduling appointments. It comes with excellent features that help manage day-to-day appointments really well.

Cons

Each paid service plan includes its own set of features.

“Simple navigation”

Pros

It is pretty simple to manage and it's generally simple to configure on my own.

Cons

There isn't really anything major I'd call a downside. If anything, I'd just like to see a 15-minute option added in the time section.

“custom branding I really enjoy”

Pros

Having my own unique page and being able to give it a personal touch is something I really enjoy.

Cons

I've been having trouble getting the calendar to sync with my iPhone so my appointments never show up on my phone. I also still haven't figured out how to customize the calendar although I did notice there's a way to do it.

“Unmatched level of customization”

Pros

Being able to schedule appointments and embed the booking code directly on my website has been a huge plus. The level of customization is excellent and I absolutely love it. I've officially moved over from Calendly to Blab.

Cons

There are a lot of options available and not all of them feel immediately user-friendly.
