The short version

  • Only Bookedin has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Bookedin pricing is per calendar, so a five-staff salon pays roughly five times the headline price and lands above competitors that charge one flat business rate for unlimited staff.; RevenueHero the published per user price is not the whole bill: a platform fee of 79 dollars a month on annual billing sits on top, so a ten seat inbound team pays around 329 dollars a month before add-ons rather than the 250 the per user rate suggests.
  • They diverge on capability: Bookedin covers Per calendar pricing, RevenueHero covers Instant form scheduling.

Where each one falls short

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

Bookedin

  • Pricing is per calendar, so a five-staff salon pays roughly five times the headline price and lands above competitors that charge one flat business rate for unlimited staff.
  • The free plan stops at 50 bookings a month across appointments and classes together, which a modestly busy single operator exceeds in a fortnight, making it an extended trial rather than a usable free tier.
  • It is a scheduler, not a business system: there is no inventory, commission tracking, payroll or point of sale, so growing businesses hit a wall and face a migration to a salon or clinic platform.
  • Payments run through Stripe, Square or PayPal, so you carry their processing fees on top of the subscription and get no negotiated rate from the vendor.
  • Client marketing is limited to reminders and basic notifications, with none of the campaign, loyalty or rebooking automation that competitors in the salon space treat as core.

RevenueHero

  • The published per user price is not the whole bill: a platform fee of 79 dollars a month on annual billing sits on top, so a ten seat inbound team pays around 329 dollars a month before add-ons rather than the 250 the per user rate suggests.
  • Spam prevention and enrichment are separately priced add-ons rather than included, and spam filtering on an inbound demo form is not really optional, so most buyers are paying at least one add-on from day one.
  • It does routing and scheduling only, with no conversational chat, no intent data and no buyer signal layer, so companies wanting a single inbound platform will still buy a second product alongside it.
  • Routing quality depends entirely on CRM data hygiene; if account ownership, territory fields or company records are inconsistent in Salesforce or HubSpot, the tool routes confidently to the wrong person and nobody notices until a deal is lost.
  • It is a smaller and younger vendor than the incumbents it competes with, so enterprise procurement teams will find a shorter security review history, a thinner partner ecosystem and less negotiating precedent than with the established alternatives.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Bookedin: How much is Bookedin for a team?

Charged per calendar. Plus is about USD 19 per calendar billed annually or 24 monthly, and Pro about 39, so a five-person team on Plus is roughly USD 95 to 120 a month.

RevenueHero: What does it actually cost for a ten person team?

On annual inbound Essentials, roughly 250 dollars a month in seats plus a 79 dollar platform fee, so about 329 dollars a month before add-ons.

Bookedin: Is the free plan usable long term?

Only for very low volume. It caps at 50 bookings per month across appointments and classes combined.

RevenueHero: Do admins need a paid seat?

No. There are no admin licence fees; you pay only for users who take meetings.

Bookedin: Does it take payments?

Yes, deposits or full payment at booking through Stripe, Square or PayPal, with those processors fees applying on top of your subscription.

RevenueHero: How is it different from Calendly?

Calendly books time on one person calendar. RevenueHero decides which person should own the lead first, using CRM data, then books.

Bookedin: Who makes it?

Coldwin Software Inc., a Canadian company that has run the product since 2010.

RevenueHero: Does it replace Chili Piper?

For routing and inbound scheduling, largely yes. It does not cover the wider conversational and buyer-intent features some Chili Piper buyers use.
