Think of it as: the free way to run a booking calendar before you can justify paying for one.
Setmore's free plan covers up to 4 staff with unlimited appointments, online payments, and email reminders — genuinely enough to run a small salon, clinic, or consultancy at zero cost. Paid Pro ($5 per user per month on annual billing) adds SMS reminders, two-way calendar sync, recurring appointments, and branding removal. It's the lowest-cost path from "free" to "fully featured" in scheduling.
Best for: Solo operators and teams up to 4 who want full appointment scheduling without paying, and small teams that need SMS and sync at the lowest per-user price available.
Canadian note: Setmore bills in USD. The free tier sidesteps currency entirely; on Pro, a $5 USD seat runs roughly $7 CAD. It integrates with Square and Stripe for payment collection, both available to Canadian businesses.

What users report
Commonly praised
- The free tier is unusually generous — 4 staff and unlimited appointments at $0 is unmatched.
- Simple setup; booking pages and website widgets work out of the box.
- Pro at $5/user/month (annual) is among the cheapest paid scheduling tiers available.
- Good payment integrations (Square, Stripe, PayPal) even on free.
Commonly criticized
- No SMS reminders on free — email only, which hurts no-show rates.

- Fewer native integrations than Calendly or Acuity.
