The short version

  • Only Appointy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Appointy free plan limited to 100 appointments per month; Default pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
  • They diverge on capability: Appointy covers Online booking, Default covers Inbound routing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Appointy

  • Free plan limited to 100 appointments per month
  • Fair usage policy caps daily bookings at 2,000 appointments
  • Highest tier at $99.99/month includes minimal staff count without additional fees specified

Default

  • Pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
  • Seats are split into user seats and routing seats at different prices, which makes headcount planning awkward and means an organisation can be surprised by which roles turn out to need the expensive kind.
  • Enrichment is credit metered, so cost rises with inbound volume exactly when the business is doing well, and a spike in form fills is also a spike in the bill.
  • Consolidating routing, enrichment, scoring and scheduling into one vendor puts a single point of failure between a demo request and a sales representative, which is the highest value path in the business.
  • The vendor offers budget to buy out incumbent contracts, which is effective marketing but tells you switching costs in this category are high in both directions, including out of Default later.
