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

Homebase

  • Free Basic plan is capped at 10 employees and a single location
  • Paid plans are billed per location per month ($30, $70 or $120), so a multi-location business pays the rate again for each site
  • Payroll is a separate add-on at $39 per month plus $6 per month per employee paid
  • Tip Manager and Task Manager are further add-ons billed per location per month on top of the base plan
