Free booking software

Free booking software.
Not free-trial software.

Start on a genuinely free plan — online booking, reminders, deposits and your own booking page — and move to a flat fee with 0% commission when you grow. No credit card to begin.

Most “free” booking software is a 14-day trial with a countdown, or a free tier so stripped-back it is useless the moment you get busy. TimeKey is neither. You can start free and keep the whole platform — online booking, a calendar per staff member, automatic reminders, deposits, reviews and your own booking page — paying only a small commission on your direct online bookings. Nothing important is locked behind the paywall.

When your own bookings grow enough that a percentage stops making sense, you switch to a flat monthly fee with 0% commission on everything — one click, mid-season if you like. Either way there is no credit card to begin, no feature held hostage, and your data and clients are always yours. Free that stays useful, and a paid plan that is genuinely cheaper the bigger you get.

Follow-up

V. Đorđević

Each provider's day, colour-coded — a slot booked online closes on the spot, so the same time can't go twice.

Your whole team’s day on one screen — walk-ins, phone bookings and online bookings side by side.

01

Actually free to start

No trial countdown, no credit card. Start today and keep your data forever.

02

The whole platform

Booking, reminders, deposits, reviews and a website — not a crippled free tier.

03

0% commission option

Outgrown the percentage? Switch to a flat monthly fee with 0% on every booking.

04

Online booking included

A hosted booking page and an embeddable widget selling from your live calendar.

05

Reminders & deposits

Automatic SMS, email and WhatsApp reminders, and deposits that cut no-shows — on the free plan.

06

Your own website

A full site on your own domain, not just a booking link — included, not an upsell.

Fewer empty chairs

No-shows, quietly
designed out.

  • Automatic reminders on SMS, email and WhatsApp — on the timing you choose.
  • Deposits collected at booking, so a missed appointment isn’t a missed day.
  • No-shows are marked on their own and stay on the client’s history.
  • A waitlist offers freed-up slots to the next client in line.

FAQ

Answers before you ask

Yes. The Start plan is free — no trial countdown and no credit card — and includes the whole platform. You pay only a small commission on your direct online bookings. If you would rather pay a flat fee and keep 0% commission, the Pro plan does that.
