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); Fyle billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
  • They diverge on capability: Appointy covers Online booking, Fyle covers Real-time card tracking.

Where each one falls short

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

Appointy

  • Free tier caps at 1 staff, 5 services and 100 appointments per month (Internet Archive capture, 3 March 2024)
  • Paid tiers ranged from $19.99 to $79.99 per month billed annually ($29.99 to $99.99 billed monthly), with extra staff seats billed separately at $5 to $7.50 per month (Internet Archive capture, 3 March 2024)

Fyle

  • Billed per active user, defined as anyone who creates an expense or has a connected card with transactions in the month, so headcount does not predict the bill
  • The Growth plan carries a 5 user minimum and the Business plan a 10 user minimum, so the entry cost is set by the floor rather than the team
  • API access and the Sage Intacct and NetSuite integrations require a paid tier
  • ACH reimbursements and project expense tracking sit above the entry plan
  • Both published plans are billed annually
  • Enterprise pricing is custom and aimed at organisations with 250 or more employees
