Switch from Schedulicity
Similar sized tool, similar sized price. What actually differs.
Schedulicity and Booked overlap heavily. Shops move to Booked usually for the public page (faster, cleaner, at a shorter URL) or to consolidate SMS into a single predictable add-on cost.
Concept mapping
| Schedulicity | Booked |

| Providers | Staff (Pro) |
| Client list | Customers (Pro) |

| Text package add-on | SMS add-on ($5 for 500, Pro) |
| Packages and punch cards | Not in Booked |
Export from Schedulicity
Settings → Clients → Export CSV. Import it at Dashboard → Import data, choosing Customers. If Schedulicity will also give you an appointment history and a service list, take those — Booked imports both, and past bookings land against the right customer with no messages sent.
Where the two genuinely differ
- The SMS bill. Schedulicity sells texts in packages you top up. Booked's add-on is $5 for 500 a month, or $50 a year for 7,000 credits up front, and the number is the same every month.
- The page. Booked's booking page loads in under a second on mobile and lives at a short URL that fits an Instagram bio and a business card.
- Packages and punch cards. Booked has none. Classes it does handle — a service with several seats sells them separately and keeps a waitlist when it sells out — but selling a client ten sessions up front is not something Booked can represent.
If you sell packages, that last point decides it. Keep the tool that supports them, or run packages separately and use Booked for the diary.
Before you cancel Schedulicity
Take the exports first, and check the appointments already in its diary. Bookings made through Schedulicity do not move themselves — anything in the next few weeks needs either re-entering in Booked or a note to the client. Run both calendars for a week if you can, with online booking switched off in the old one, so nothing lands in a diary you have stopped looking at.
