BooklineCal

BooklineCal is a whitelabel appointment booking software platform designed for agencies and multi-location operators. It allows providers to onboard client businesses onto branded subdomains and manage one-to-one appointments and group classes from a single dashboard. The platform includes features such as staff-level access control, live seat tracking, calendar sync, and SMS reminders with a prepaid credit system. Plans start at £19 per month with unlimited bookings, and higher tiers add staff logins, payments, and full white-label booking pages on a custom domain.

The Starter plan costs £19 per month and includes unlimited bookings, one booking page, up to 3 meeting types, group bookings with places per session, email confirmations, and two-way Google and Outlook calendar sync. SMS reminders are available at a rate of 7p per message. This plan is aimed at solo operators taking their first bookings online.

The Growth plan is priced at £49 per month and includes everything in the Starter plan plus unlimited meeting types, staff logins, paid group classes and workshops with capacity limits, and the ability to take payments and deposits at booking. It also offers discount coupons, review collection, custom branding, colours, and a logo. Additionally, £10 of SMS credit is included each month.

The Agency plan costs £149 per month and is designed for agencies and multi-location operators running many businesses. It includes everything in the Growth plan, unlimited client businesses, whitelabel booking pages on your own domain, a central SMS credit pool with auto top-ups, and an agency console across all client businesses. £25 of SMS credit is included each month.

To get started, users can create an account or sign in to the platform. The process involves onboarding each client business with its own subdomain and branding, then booking, confirming, rescheduling, or cancelling appointments with staff-level access control. Group bookings can be run for classes and workshops by setting places per session and tracking live seats left.

SMS reminders are charged at 7p per message and are taken from your prepaid credit balance. Users can buy a credit pack any time or let auto top-up keep them topped up so reminders never fail. This pay-as-you-go model means SMS costs are real money per message, which is why plans start paid from day one.

The platform supports group bookings on every plan by turning on group booking for any meeting type. Users can set the number of places per session, allowing customers to pick how many places they need. The slot then shows how many are left until it fills up.

Payment for appointments is possible on the Growth and Agency plans. Users can charge a full price or a deposit at the time of booking and apply discount coupons. This feature helps busy businesses with teams and paid appointments manage their revenue streams effectively.

There is no free trial for BooklineCal because every reminder sent costs real money per message. Instead, plans start on a paid month from day one, but users can cancel any time and keep access until the end of the period. Changes to the plan can be made at any time from billing settings, with prorated adjustments on the next invoice.

The platform offers two-way calendar sync with Google and Outlook, allowing users to manage appointments seamlessly. It also includes staff-level access control to ensure secure management of bookings across different team members.

Some reviewers praise the ability to create a single dashboard to onboard client businesses and manage various appointment types efficiently. The live seat tracking for sessions and the prepaid SMS credit system are also highlighted as useful features for maintaining control over bookings.

The platform includes a central SMS credit pool with auto top-ups for the Agency plan, ensuring that reminders are always sent without interruption. This feature is particularly beneficial for agencies managing multiple client businesses.

The platform allows for custom branding, colours, and a logo on the booking pages, making it suitable for businesses looking to maintain a consistent brand identity. This feature is included in the Growth plan and above.
