Why pay Booksy for booking software?
Bookup does the part you actually need, a calendar clients can book into and reminders that keep them showing up, for nothing. No subscription, and we take no cut of your bookings.
Two fields and you're set up. No card.
A calendar your clients can book into
Share one link. They pick a service, a stylist, and a time that's actually open.
Reminders that cut no-shows
Automatic texts before the appointment, and a one-tap way to cancel early enough for you to refill it.
Your client list stays yours
Everyone who books is your customer, not a lead we rent back to you.
Nothing to install
Runs in a browser, on your phone or the front desk. No app, no hardware.
How it differs
Booksy and Vagaro are marketplaces with booking attached. Bookup is only the booking, which is why it can be free.
Compared against those platforms' published pricing and product pages. They do things Bookup doesn't, marketplace exposure among them.
How can it be free?
Because it isn't how we make money. Pikcup earns when we fill the openings you couldn't, and a shop already running its calendar here is a shop we can help the day something cancels. Bookup being good is the whole pitch, so charging for it would work against us.
You never have to add Pikcup. Plenty won't, and Bookup stays free either way.
