Comparison

Looking for a Square Appointments alternative?

Square Appointments is booking woven into the Square ecosystem: its point of sale, card readers, and payment processing. If you already run your money through Square, the integration is genuinely convenient.

If you don’t — if you take cash, transfers, or your own card reader — the ecosystem becomes overhead, and staff pricing adds up. Reservy handles the scheduling half beautifully and leaves payments on whatever rails you already use. Free.

When Reservy is the better fit

You don’t use (or want) Square’s point of sale and card readers.
You get paid in cash, transfers, or a card machine you already own.
You want zero software cost regardless of how many staff you add.
You want the simplest possible day view: schedule, services, clients, earnings.
You’re outside the countries where Square operates.

When Square Appointments may fit better

You already run sales through Square and want bookings and payments unified.
You want cards charged at booking or no-show protection fees collected automatically.
You need retail features (inventory, receipts) beside your calendar.

We’d rather you pick the right tool than the loudest pitch — features and pricing above reflect Square Appointments’s publicly listed plans and may change; check their site for current details.

Frequently asked questions

How does Reservy track money without payment processing?

You mark each appointment paid as it happens — one tap — and the earnings view totals your day, week, and month. How the money moved (cash, transfer, your reader) is up to you; Reservy keeps the record.

What does Square Appointments cost vs Reservy?

Square Appointments has a free tier for solo users, with paid plans as staff grows, plus processing fees on payments (details on their site). Reservy is free at any team size; you keep whatever payment arrangement you already have.

Can I use Reservy and still take card payments?

Of course — with whatever you use today: your bank’s reader, a payment link, cash. Reservy doesn’t sit in your money path at all; it just keeps the schedule and the totals.

Try the simpler option — it’s free

Reservy is free. Set up your booking page and your day schedule in the next ten minutes.
