The short version

  • Only Zeeg has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: GlossGenius card payments are charged at a flat 2.6 percent, and instant payouts cost a further 1.8 percent; Zeeg single sign-on and SCIM only appear on the Scale tier at EUR 30 per user per month, so an organisation that needs identity governance for a hundred occasional bookers pays a premium tier price for every one of them.
  • They diverge on capability: GlossGenius covers Custom booking pages, Zeeg covers European hosting.
  • 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.

GlossGenius

  • Card payments are charged at a flat 2.6 percent, and instant payouts cost a further 1.8 percent
  • Forms and waivers, waitlists and Google booking need the Gold plan at $56 a month
  • Team analytics, custom commissions and unlimited team members require Platinum at $168 a month
  • The medspa plans start where the beauty Platinum plan does, at $168 a month, rising to $298 for the full clinical suite
  • Payroll is a separate add-on at $40 a month plus $6 per staff member

Zeeg

  • Single sign-on and SCIM only appear on the Scale tier at EUR 30 per user per month, so an organisation that needs identity governance for a hundred occasional bookers pays a premium tier price for every one of them.
  • Round robin routing, which many teams treat as the basic reason to buy a team scheduler, is held back to Business at EUR 16 per user, well above where competitors place it.
  • The integration catalogue and surrounding ecosystem are much smaller than Calendly, so a workflow that depends on a niche CRM or an existing Zapier-style recipe may need building rather than switching on.
  • There are no native mobile apps, so staff manage availability and bookings through the browser, which is workable but noticeably weaker for people scheduling from the road.
  • The CRM features are light by design and will not replace a real pipeline tool, so teams risk splitting contact data between Zeeg and their actual CRM and then reconciling it.
