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)

Paragon

  • No price is published for either plan, and both require a quote
  • Cost scales with the number of customer tenants using the integrations, so the bill follows an end customer count rather than the vendor's own usage
  • SAML SSO, self hosting, dynamic field mapping and SLAs are all Enterprise only
