The short version

  • Only Schedulicity has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: BambooHR organisations of 25 or fewer employees pay a flat rate starting at $250 a month, so a very small team pays far more per head than the listed per-employee price; Schedulicity schedulicity has been retired and its domain now redirects to a Vagaro migration page titled From Schedulicity to Vagaro, urging existing customers to switch to Vagaro for booking, payments and client management
  • They diverge on capability: BambooHR covers Employee database, Schedulicity covers Online booking.
