The essentials

What you actually get

01
Nothing taken per booking
No commission, no new client fee and no percentage of the ticket. Paid plans are a flat price, and the free plan is genuinely free.

No consumer marketplace
Your page shows your business alone. There is no app placing the shop down the road under your listing.
03
Your client list stays yours
Every booking creates a customer record in your workspace with visit history. Export any time. We never market to your clients.
04
One link you control
A short branded link at your own Smart Slug for the Instagram bio, Google Business profile and your website.
05
Rules that protect the day
Service durations, buffers, capacity limits and multi window business hours, so free never means loose.
06
Reminders on every plan
Confirmation and reminder emails are included on the free plan, not held back for paying accounts.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How do you make money if there is no commission?+

Paid plans. When a business adds staff seats or a second location it moves to a flat monthly plan. Nothing is charged against a booking.

Will my listing appear in a client facing app?+

No. There is no consumer marketplace. Clients reach you through your own link.

Do I lose the discovery a marketplace gives me?+

Honestly, yes, if marketplace discovery is currently sending you real new clients. Many shops run a listing for discovery and their own link for regulars, so the fee only ever applies to genuinely new names.

Can I take card payments at booking?+

Not today. Payment collection is on the roadmap. Most customers charge in person or with their existing processor.

Do I own my customer data?+

Yes. Every booking creates a customer record in your workspace. Export any time. ZenSched does not resell or remarket to your clients.

Is ZenSched really free to try?+

Yes. The Free Beta plan gives you a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders. No credit card to start.

How hard is it to switch from another booking system?+

There is no migration project. You add your services, hours and staff, then share the new link. Most owners run the old system until the last booked appointment passes, then stop renewing it.

Do you send SMS reminders?+

Not yet. Reminders go by email today. If SMS is a hard requirement for you, tell us — we ship based on what customers ask for.
