booqme and SumUp Bookings in detail

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

Area by area

Team and price

booqme plans differ by the number of bookings, not by the number of people. A team with 500 bookings a month pays €16.90 (Business).

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.

Online payments

Deposits and prepayments go through your own Stripe account from 1.99%, straight to your account. You can also sell gift vouchers.

When SumUp Bookings may be the better choice

SumUp Bookings can make sense if you need:

a card terminal and POS from the same provider as your appointment booking.

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.

★★★★★

The best system I've ever used.

When I saw everything Booqme can do, I was genuinely amazed. I haven't found this kind of overview of my entire operation anywhere else — it saves me time every day and my clients are happier than ever 📊

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.
