How to Choose Free Appointment Software: 6 Things to Check

Free appointment software is a good way to digitise your business if you know its limits from the start. Check these six points.

1. Monthly appointment quota

Free plans usually cap monthly appointments. The PLAN 7/24 free plan includes 50 appointments a month, with a +10 bonus for appointments booked online.

2. Are SMS and notifications included?

Reminders are the best way to cut no-shows. If the free plan has no SMS, factor that in. On PLAN 7/24 SMS and push notifications are in Standard and above.

3. Online booking link

Letting clients book for themselves saves time. Check whether this is in the free plan (on PLAN 7/24 it is Standard and above).

4. Mobile app

If you work from a phone, an iOS/Android app matters. PLAN 7/24 offers the mobile app on every plan.

5. Data ownership and security

Check where client data is stored and how it can be exported. Data should be processed in line with GDPR/KVKK.

6. Upgrade flexibility as you grow

Changing plans should be easy as you grow. On PLAN 7/24 you can upgrade or downgrade at any time with the price difference prorated.

The best method is to try every feature for 14 days and see whether it fits your workflow. You can try PLAN 7/24 without a credit card.
