1 month free trial · no credit card
Two tools, two approaches
Planity is a booking platform specialised in beauty and wellness: hairdressing, beauty care, barbers, nails, spas. Clients look for a business on its consumer website, then book.
Calendrio starts from your business rather than from a marketplace: a booking page in your name, a calendar, a client file and reminders, for every appointment-based profession. You share your link where your clients already find you, and you can also appear in the Calendrio directory.
The questions to ask before choosing
Ask each provider. Here are Calendrio's answers, which you can check on the website.
| Question | Calendrio's answer |
|---|---|
| Which professions are supported? | Every appointment-based profession: beauty, sport, health and therapies, consulting, lessons, tradespeople, photographers, restaurants and coworking spaces. |
| Are the prices public? | Yes, on the Pricing page: Free, Pro €39 excl. VAT per month, Team €79 excl. VAT per month, no commitment. |
| Can you try it without a credit card? | Yes, a free one-month trial with the features of the paid plans. |
| Is there a commission on payments? | None on paid plans or during the trial. |
| Can you work at clients' homes or by video call? | Yes, each service takes place on site, at the client's home (with travel fees), by video call or by phone. |
| Can clients choose the person? | Yes, with linked accounts: the client chooses a team member or “No preference”. |
| Can reminders be adjusted? | Email reminder the day before from the free plan; with a paid plan, up to 3 reminders by email or SMS, at the time you choose. |
| Do you have to set everything up yourself? | No: the Calendrio team can prepare your booking page for free from your opening hours and services. |
When Planity may suit you better
If a large share of your new clients find you today on a beauty marketplace, or if you want point-of-sale software in the same tool as your calendar, compare these points closely: Calendrio is not point-of-sale software.
