The short version

Only Picktime has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Boulevard pricing is charged per location, so a multi site business pays the full plan fee for each site; Picktime the Pro plan is cheaper per user than Starter because it is sold in a ten user block, so a business with four or five staff pays more per head than a business with ten and has no tier that fits it well.
They diverge on capability: Boulevard covers Intelligent scheduling, Picktime covers Free tier with three staff.

Where each one falls short

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

Boulevard

Pricing is charged per location, so a multi site business pays the full plan fee for each site
The Essentials plan caps the business at 5 professionals; unlimited professionals require the Premier plan
Text and email allowances are metered per plan, with email blasts charged at $0.01 each beyond the plan allocation
Forms cost from $65 per month per location unless you are on the top Prestige plan
QuickBooks integration is an add on at $45 per month per location
ePrescribe is $45 per prescriber on top of the plan
Enterprise pricing is by consultation with no published rate

Picktime

The Pro plan is cheaper per user than Starter because it is sold in a ten user block, so a business with four or five staff pays more per head than a business with ten and has no tier that fits it well.
SMS is only on paid plans and the free tier is email only, so the no cost option loses the single feature that most reduces no shows.
Reporting is limited to basic booking counts and revenue totals, so any business that wants utilisation by resource, staff productivity or cohort retention will be exporting data and analysing it elsewhere.
Integrations beyond calendar, payments and Zapier are sparse, with no native connection to mainstream CRM or practice management systems, meaning customer data lives in a second silo that someone reconciles manually.
Support is email only with no phone or guaranteed response time, which is acceptable at three dollars a user but a genuine risk if the booking page goes down on a trading day.
