What you will find in this guide
Instead of chasing every feature, start from your workflows and constraints.
Key steps
- List your must-haves: solo calendar, online bookings, invoices, language, GDPR.
- Define nice-to-haves: online payments, packages, marketing automations.
- Check data location, export options and cancellation terms.
- Test the booking flow as if you were a client on mobile and desktop.
- Start with a simple plan and upgrade only if you really need it.
Useful tips
- Avoid long contracts in the beginning — flexibility is your friend.
- Prefer tools with clear legal pages and transparent pricing.
- Think about future needs (second calendar, assistant, small team).
- Don’t underestimate support quality — it’s part of the product.
