The short version

  • Only Appointlet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Appointlet free plan limited to 5 members and 25 bookings per month; BambooHR organisations of 25 or fewer employees pay a flat rate starting at $250 a month, so a very small team pays far more per head than the listed per-employee price
  • They diverge on capability: Appointlet covers Scheduling links, BambooHR covers Employee database.
