Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Setmore is a cloud-based appointment scheduling platform used by boutique hotels, spas, salons, tour operators, managing bookings, staff calendars, and guest communication. Users consistently point to its ease of use, real-time booking, and automated reminders as strengths. Recurring complaints include unreliable Google Calendar sync requiring frequent reconnection and limited options for customizing the interface or branding. Recently it introduced multiple-service bookings, which allows customers to schedule several services in one session, and a real-time "Activity Stream" to track scheduling updates.

Our Verdict

Setmore suits small and mid-sized service businesses that need dependable, self-service booking without a complicated setup. It performs well for operators running straightforward scheduling across multiple staff members or services. Pricing is notably lauded for being accessible and reasonable. We recommend Setmore to solo operators and small service businesses needing free online booking, automated reminders, and payment processing for teams of up to four.

Setmore Features

Booking Page

This feature gives businesses a shareable, customizable online page where customers can view availability, select services, and book appointments directly. Businesses can add branding, service details, and staff options, then share the link via website, social media, or a QR code. It removes the need for phone-based scheduling and lets customers book at any time.

Class Booking

Setmore allows businesses to manage group sessions such as classes, webinars, or guided tours through a single booking tool. Managers can set attendee caps, monitor registrations, and adjust availability as seats fill up. This works well for businesses running recurring group sessions like fitness classes or educational workshops.

Live Receptionist

This add-on connects businesses with a team of live receptionists who answer calls and book appointments on their behalf around the clock. It helps businesses stay reachable outside normal operating hours without hiring in-house staff. The feature is available as a separate paid add-on in the US.

Payments

Setmore supports online and in-person payment collection through integrations with Stripe, Square, and PayPal. Businesses can collect deposits, full payments, or process Tap to Pay transactions directly through the booking flow. This reduces manual invoicing and keeps payment records tied to each appointment.

Team Scheduling

This feature lets businesses create individual staff profiles with their own login, calendar, and working hours. Managers can assign permission levels, track time off, and view team availability from a single dashboard. It's useful for businesses coordinating multiple staff members across shifts or specialties.

“Scheduling limitations with calendar issues”

Pros

Personally, I appreciate that it lets our appointments be shown publicly while we can still arrange sessions internally and tweak our availability. I also value that it syncs with my Google Calendar and supports offering several services. We rely on this tool every day and enjoy how simple it is to use.

Cons

I've found it frustrating that assigning certain days to a single service isn't possible and I see the Google Calendar sync is unreliable, requiring frequent reconnections.

“Efficient scheduling”

Pros

My firm has become noticeably more efficient at bringing in leads and handling scheduling thanks to this tool. I chose it mainly because it links with LawPay, allowing me to keep a single payment processor. So far I'm really impressed with how well the product performs.

Cons

Connecting with MyCase would improve my workflow and I find integration with practice management software highly valuable.
