Free online booking and scheduling for solo and small service businesses

The Setmore alternative built for jobs, not just time slots

Setmore's free plan books a time slot. 1MinuteBooking's free plan prices the whole job: add-ons clients pick, drive time to their address, quotes from photos and deposits by card.

Free plan, no credit card required

What you get free that Setmore doesn't do

Both have a free plan. The difference is what it does for work that changes with every client.

Add-ons clients pick

Extra bedrooms, a second dog, a full interior: clients pick them and the price and the time add up. Setmore's charges are fixed amounts you attach to a service.

Travel time by distance

Drive time and a travel fee from how far the client's address is. Setmore only has buffer time, the same for everyone.

Quote requests with photos

Clients answer your questions and send up to 5 photos for work you can't price up front, and you reply with a price.

Deposits on the free plan

Ask for a deposit or the full price by card when clients book. On Setmore, deposits are a Pro feature.

Bookings without a time

Let clients request a date and set the time later, for big jobs and events. Overnight stays and per-pet pricing are built in.

Your own domain

Pro puts your page on book.yourbusiness.com for $10 a month. Setmore pages stay on a setmore.com link.

Who should switch

A good fit

Solo cleaners, detailers, groomers, pet sitters, handymen and mobile pros whose price depends on the job, who travel to clients, or who quote from photos.

When to keep Setmore

If you run a team of several staff booking fixed-length appointments, or rely on text reminders, Setmore's Pro plan is built for that.

Setting up takes minutes: pick your trade and your services, add-ons, prices and quote questions are filled in for you to edit. Share your link on Google, Instagram or your website.

Everything you get, free

No monthly fee, no time limit and no per-booking fee. The only charge is 2% on top of Stripe's fee when a client pays by card.

Questions

Is Setmore free?

Setmore has a free plan for booking time slots, with deposits, text reminders and repeating appointments on Pro. 1MinuteBooking's free plan includes add-on pricing, travel fees, quote requests with photos, deposits and repeating bookings.

Can clients pick add-ons that change the price?

Yes. Each add-on can change the price and the length of the booking, so clients only see start times you're free for.

Can it add travel time between jobs?

Yes. Distance zones add drive time to your calendar and a travel fee to the price, from the client's address.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, with Pro at $10 a month: your page opens on book.yourbusiness.com or yourbusiness.com.

Can I take deposits?

Yes, on the free plan. Connect your own Stripe account and require a deposit or the full price when clients book.
