Free online booking for massage therapists
What you see. A sample dashboard, shown with a cleaning business's bookings.
What your clients see. The massage therapist starter page, before you change anything.
Practice platforms add SOAP notes and insurance billing. If you just want clients to book themselves, 1MinuteBooking does it free.
Every booking asks about injuries, health conditions and pregnancy, and clients agree to your cancellation policy before they book. See the booking page
Clients pick the massage and its length, and add hot stone, cupping or aromatherapy only on the massages you allow. Every pricing control
Connect your own Stripe account and clients pay a deposit or the full price by card as they book. No monthly fee: 2% per card payment, plus Stripe's fee. How deposits work
No add-ons to buy and no per-feature upgrades. Pro, at $10 a month, only adds your branding, Excel export and analytics.
Bookings are confirmed the moment they come in, with a confirmation email. Bookings that look risky still wait for you. How it works
Clients get the date, time and address by email 24 hours before, or when you choose. How it works
A Manage booking button lets clients move or cancel up to a cutoff you set. You get an email for every change. How it works
When you mark a booking Completed, the client gets a Book again button with their last booking filled in. How it works
Every booking shows up in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and moves and cancellations update by themselves. How it works
A captcha, connection checks and your own filters send fake requests to a Spam folder, where they never hold a time. How it works
Paste one line of code, and clients book and pay right on your site.

Massage therapists comparing software usually end up between MassageBook and Vagaro. Both are full practice platforms with intake forms, SOAP notes, payments and marketing - useful, especially if you bill insurance.
If you chart sessions or bill insurance, a practice platform is worth it. If you want clients to book themselves, 1MinuteBooking does that with your intake questions and policy built in. It's free, with no time limit.
Your booking page with stock photos, bookings and quote requests.
Your logo, your own photos and colors, Excel export and analytics, and no "Powered by" badge.
Both are full practice platforms - pick one if you need SOAP notes or insurance billing. For online booking with upgrades, intake questions and buffer time, 1MinuteBooking does it all for free.
Yes. 1MinuteBooking's free plan has no time limit and includes massage types, upgrades, buffer time and intake questions. Pro ($10 USD a month) adds your logo and your own photos.
Yes. Turn on Stripe Payments to charge a deposit or the full price before the booking goes through, and show your cancellation policy at booking.
Yes - the booking form asks about any injuries, health conditions or pregnancy (and how many weeks) you should know about. You can add more intake questions (text, single or multiple choice) and make any of them required.
Open a Completed booking and click Duplicate booking - the same client, services, add-ons and notes are filled in at your current prices, so you just pick the next date. For a fixed schedule, set Repeat on New booking (every 1-4 weeks, up to 26 visits) - see repeating bookings. Clients also get a Book again link in their thank-you email.
Yes - in the starter menu, Hot Stone Upgrade (+$20) is offered on Swedish and deep tissue sessions but not on Express or Prenatal, and Cupping (+$25) is left off Prenatal. Aromatherapy (+$10) goes with every massage, using pregnancy-safe oils only for prenatal.
Yes - buffer time keeps a fixed gap before and after every booked appointment, so nothing can be booked right up against it.
Yes - Policies & Terms lets you require acceptance of your own terms, plus show a cancellation policy with a notice window you set.
Yes - with location options. The Massage Therapy preset starts with "Our studio" (no charge) and "Your home (mobile massage)" (+$25). Clients who come to you see your business address on the booking page and in their emails. Change the names, prices and travel times, or add your own, under Settings > Locations. The drive time blocks your calendar but is never shown to the client.
Yes - Prenatal Massage ($95, an hour, side-lying with gentle pressure) is a starter service, alongside Swedish, deep tissue and a 30-minute Express Massage. The booking form asks about pregnancy and how many weeks, and Aromatherapy uses pregnancy-safe oils only.
