YouCanBookMe
Customizable booking pages for small businesses, with a genuinely usable free tier.
About
YouCanBookMe (YCBM) is a UK-based appointment scheduler built specifically for small businesses — coaches, therapists, consultants, recruiters. Booking pages are highly customizable (HTML/CSS), sync live with Google, Outlook, and Apple calendars, and include automated reminders, cancellation policies, waitlists, group meetings, and Stripe payment collection (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, discount codes; no PayPal). Zapier connects it to thousands of apps, and a Teams plan adds round-robin distribution and API access.
The free-forever plan is unusually honest: one calendar connection and one booking page, indefinitely, with a small branding button. Paid tiers are Individual ($9/month), Professional ($13/month), and Teams ($18/member/month), with 10-20% discounts for annual or two-year prepay. Reviewers note Trustpilot scores near 4.6 but also a complaint pattern through 2025 around unannounced price increases — and the company was acquired by Capacity in 2025, so buyers should watch the roadmap. There is no native mobile app; the dashboard and booking pages are responsive web.
Honest limits: Stripe-only payments (no PayPal or iDEAL) limits European sellers; team features live only on the top tier; no published benchmarks.
