Why shops switch to Booked

The four reasons we hear the most, in order.

Every shop's switch story is a little different, but four themes come up again and again in support conversations.

1. Flat price beats percentage

Booked is $7.50 or $15.83 a month on yearly billing ($9 or $19 month-to-month). Marketplace tools take a slice of every deposit or new-client booking. On a busy month, that slice is more than a year of Booked.

2. The URL is short and it belongs to the shop

booked.co/<slug> reads like your shop, not like a directory listing with an ampersand and a UTM tag. It fits in a bio, on a business card, and on the voicemail script.

3. The customer list is yours

Booked does not run a marketplace, so it has no incentive to keep your customer list captive. Export any time.

4. The page loads faster

The public booking page is a static, tokenized surface that renders in under a second on 4G. Fewer abandoned bookings from customers who tap the link on the subway.

None of these are unique advantages against every tool. They are the reasons a specific kind of shop—the one Booked is for—chooses to switch.
