The short version

  • Only Appointy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Appointy free tier caps at 1 staff, 5 services and 100 appointments per month (Internet Archive capture, 3 March 2024); Employment Hero hR Essentials at AUD 10/employee/month requires a minimum of 10 users, so it cannot be bought for a team smaller than that even if actual headcount is lower
