The short version

  • Only Skedda has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Practice the Internet Archive's capture of Practice's homepage on 14 December 2020 showed the product was in a 'Request early access' pre-launch phase, with no pricing figures published at that time.; Skedda pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
  • They diverge on capability: Practice covers Scheduling, Skedda covers Space scheduling.

Where each one falls short

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

Practice

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Practice's homepage on 14 December 2020 showed the product was in a 'Request early access' pre-launch phase, with no pricing figures published at that time.

Skedda

  • Pricing is per space with a bundled minimum, so the entry Starter plan is $99 per month for 15 spaces whether or not you use them
  • All published plans are quoted billed annually, with no monthly rate shown
  • The rules and roles engine is basic on Starter and limited on Plus; the full engine requires Premier
  • The insights dashboard is limited on the Starter plan
  • Assigned spaces and unlimited custom fields require the Premier plan
  • A dedicated account manager, legal agreement flexibility and white glove implementation are Enterprise only, and Enterprise carries no published price
  • Every plan, including the cheapest, routes through Talk to Sales rather than self-serve checkout
