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; Groove billed per ticket at $1 rather than per agent, so support cost scales with how many customers get in touch
  • They diverge on capability: Appointlet covers Scheduling links, Groove covers Shared inbox.

Groove
