The short version

  • Only Picktime has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: EventPro the pricing page publishes no figures and states cost depends on optional modules, the number of users and rooms at the customer's facility, and software training, all resolved through an account consultant assessment rather than a rate card; 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: EventPro covers Event scheduling, Picktime covers Free tier with three staff.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

EventPro

  • The pricing page publishes no figures and states cost depends on optional modules, the number of users and rooms at the customer's facility, and software training, all resolved through an account consultant assessment rather than a rate card

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.
