booqme and Booksy in detail

We checked the details on the public pricing pages of both systems.

Price for a team

Team booqme per month Booksy per month
3 people, about 400 bookings €16.90 (Business) €50.99
6 people, about 900 bookings €26.90 (Ultimate) €74.99

Booksy price in Spain: €34.99 plus €8 for every additional team member, excl. VAT. Booksy prices differ by country. In booqme the price does not change with the number of employees.

Area by area

Team and price

booqme plans differ by the number of bookings: 50 free, 100, 500 or unlimited. The number of employees is unlimited in every plan.

Client status

Every week booqme recalculates the status of each client, for example loyal, at risk or lost. You see at-risk clients in one place and can message them straight away.

Loyalty cards

The card lives in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, points are added automatically and you have Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. A GEO notification appears when a client is within 100 metres of your business.

When Booksy may be the better choice

Booksy can make sense if you need:

  • visibility on the Booksy marketplace to win new clients, and paying the Boost commission is worth it for you.

Why not look at price alone

The price difference is usually a few euros a month. The difference in how many clients come back can be much bigger:

  • You spot an at-risk client before they move to a competitor.
  • A reminder at the right moment brings a client back without phone calls.
  • A loyalty card on the phone gives clients a reason to come back to you.
  • When you hire a colleague, the price of the system stays the same.

Booqme is the partner we grow with every month. They respond lightning-fast, always come up with a solution, and you can feel they genuinely care. We run 14 locations — Booqme manages and tracks them all. Fewer no-shows, happier clients, less admin. This isn't just a booking tool. It's a partner I can't imagine growing without.

We resisted using an online booking system for a long time – the high prices and chaotic interfaces were discouraging. I’m really glad I eventually found Booqme, because besides offering great pricing and well-designed packages (unlike the competition), they have incredibly fast and helpful support, and they continuously improve and innovate the system. In my opinion, their online form is the most visually appealing, cleanest, and simplest among all.
