Free plan

A free appointment booking appwith no fee hiding behind it.

Most free booking tools are funded by a cut of your bookings or a marketplace that lists your competitors. This one is funded by the paid plans people upgrade to when their team grows.

The essentials

What you actually get

01
Free means free
The Free Beta plan gives you a full booking page, unlimited appointments and email reminders. Nothing is taken from a booking, and no card is asked for at signup.
02
No marketplace attached
Your page shows your business only. No consumer app putting the shop down the road next to you, and no fee when a first time client books.
03
Branded, not generic
Logo, colors and font are yours, on the booking page and in the confirmation emails.
04
Honest availability
Business hours with multiple windows, per service durations and buffers, plus capacity limits. Slots only show when you can really take them.
05
Email reminders included
Confirmation on booking and a reminder before the appointment, on the free plan too. Reminders are not held back for paying accounts.
06
Grow when you need to
Upgrade when you add staff seats or a second location. Until then the free plan is a real product, not a seven day tease.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is the catch with the free plan?+

There is a cap on staff seats and locations, and the booking page carries a small Powered by ZenSched line unless you switch it off on a paid plan. Appointments are not limited and reminders are not withheld.

Do you take a percentage of bookings?+

No. There is no commission, no per booking fee and no charge when a new client books for the first time.

Is this a free trial or a free plan?+

A free plan. It does not expire and it does not ask for a card. Paid plans exist for teams that outgrow the seat and location limits.

What do paid plans add?+

More staff seats, multiple locations, and the option to hide the Powered by ZenSched line. The core booking experience is the same.

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.

Can I use ZenSched with my existing website?+

Yes. Every booking page has a standalone link at your Smart Slug on booking.zensched.app. Share it in an Instagram bio, on Google Business, in an email signature, or link to it from any site.

Can I take deposits or payments through the booking page?+

Not today. ZenSched focuses on the calendar and the booking experience. Payment collection is on the roadmap; for now most customers collect payment in person or through their existing processor.

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.
