    I am very pleased with it. I love that I am able to easily have clients and colleagues book appointments. I it is great to able to receive payments and automate the booking with Zoom.

    Bookafy makes the process a lot more simpler than the more complicated systems that I have used. Also, the customer service has been exceptional. I booked an on boarding session and the friendliness and helpfulness I received was above and beyond what was required. It was so impressive. I don't recall receiving even a tiny percentage of such an experience from customer service members of other scheduling software I have spent a lot more on.

    Pros

    I love the simplicity of the software. It serves as a fantastic tool for clients to book my services on or offline without hassle.

    I like the one page 'website', particularly at the moment while I rebuild my business website.

    I love that I can have payments made during the booking. I haven't used this feature yet though as I'm transitioning from another platform.

    I also like that I can create private links to send to clients for private bookings.

    The opportunity for clients to leave a review which visitors can see is a great added bonus.

    I like the possibility of creating new integrations with other software.

    Cons

    I found it tricky to grasp the internal 'back office' set up at first. Probably because I was used to using different software. However, the founder has been exceptionally helpful and spent time investigating my issue. He has made suggestions that helped a great deal. His suggestions have actually helped me to better understand my use of my online calendar outside of Bookafy.

    Pros

    Possibility of having the software in White Label

    Cons

    Very little assistance.
    Weeks and several reminders to receive answers to very banal questions.
    Platform problems of all kinds: Incorrect translations, Integrations with other apps that don't work well, White Label panel poorly built and not working.

    I paid about $600 to get the White Label version that I could resell. MY customers upon registration pay Bookafy directly and then they should have paid me the share of the active accounts... But in the first 2 months of use they were never even able to show the amounts correctly in the dashboard and I did not receive any payment.
    Reported the problem for weeks but no one ever responded.

    I asked for a full refund given the system wasn't working but, after days and days of no response, I'm starting to think I've wasted time and money.
    Unprepared and dishonest!

    I have been with Bookafy for going on one year and I am very happy. Bookafy is affordable, easy to use, and constantly improving their software. I started using it when the company first launched, and frankly it was a little clunky... but their newest release was a MASSIVE upgrade. It is beautiful and so easy to use. I loved it before, but now I am thrilled. Saving tons of time, and adding years onto my life with the stress reduction! My favorite parts are... I really like the on-line booking, appointment confirmations, email marketing sync with mail chimp and syncing the calendar with my personal google calendar. Bookafy sets themselves apart from other software companies and are the only one I will ever use. Thanks Bookafy.
