  • Only Appointlet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.

  • They diverge on capability: Adyen covers Payment processing, Appointlet covers Scheduling links.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Adyen

  • There is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
  • Published fees are indicative rather than a rate card, with real pricing negotiated
  • Interchange++ means the card cost varies per transaction rather than being a single predictable percentage
  • Alternative payment methods carry their own rates on top, such as 3.3 percent plus $0.10 for American Express in North America

Appointlet

  • Free plan limited to 5 members and 25 bookings per month
  • Fewer integrations compared to market leaders like Calendly
  • Less polished UI/UX compared to newer competitors
