Book Like A Boss

Vorteile

Book Like A Boss ist hervorragend übersichtlich gestaltet und finde das Design, was dort vorgegeben ist, sehr durchdacht und ansprechend. Alle sehr übersichtlich und es macht direkt Spaß beim Einrichten. Was ich gerade täglich nutze, dass du den Termin für deinen zukünftigen Gesprächspartner selbst einbuchen kannst. Mit der Funktion wirkt das bei deinem Gegenüber noch mal professioneller. Auch die Verbindung mit Zoom ist super. So muss ich nicht jedes Mal meinem Gesprächspartner einen Link schicken, da dieser in der Kalendereinladung automatisch vorhanden ist.

Nachteile

Den einzigen Nachteil auf der Übersichtspage und der Terminpage, dass du da keine Bilder einfügen kannst für Testimonials. Du kannst dort nur Texttestimonials eingeben, was ich sehr schade finde.

Vorteile

The integration is so simple for a WordPress website. What I love the most is that it's in real time and customers can take the responsibility for cancelling or rescheduling.

Nachteile

The aesthetics can be improved a bit more and support at the time I needed it was a slow.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Book Like A Boss

Calendly was too simple and I just didn't have a good feeling on the fit. BLAB did everything I needed.

Vorteile

I like the look of Book Like a Boss, it has more of a website feel. I love being able to easily create products to sell and make it easy for them to buy with a click. I love all the choices of times available for each different type of product or session I am offering. I love the ease of using it for me and for my customer.

Nachteile

I would prefer the cost was less, but I could have switched to a cheaper booking site ages ago for less money and I havent. I think that is because even though I pay a bit more than I should for how small my business is, its so convenient and nice looking that I prefer to keep it.

I liked its presentation, it was more proffessional looking.

Vorteile

I've been using Book Like a Boss for 4 years now. I often recommend it to my clients for creating a first webpage with all the e-commerce functions and appointment scheduling they need to get up and running with an online business. It's easy to use and understand, it works great, and the team is always releasing great new additions in functionality.

Nachteile

It would be nice to have a few more options for sections for the home page.

Calendly

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Book Like A Boss

I purchased this through Appsumo so I had a one time purchase; however, I continue to purchase for my clients because it is a great complete website for beginners.

Vorteile

I got in to BLAB during their launch, so I'm grandfathered in with a good rate. BLAB does everything the more well-known scheduling platforms do. I can tweak settings to exactly how I want them.

Nachteile

The interface is still so old looking. They just updated their booking interface for customers, and it is still uglier than calendly and the like. The one thing I wish BLAB would do is hire someone who knows how to design good looking interfaces. Also, after all these years, they still haven't created a mobile UI for my dashboard. Weird!

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Book Like A Boss

The pricing is the best. Though I was grandfathered into a pay-once model.

Vorteile

My clients and I both REALLY appreciate that they can now self-schedule their payments as well as use the secure on-line payment processing. Faster and easier for me as well as for them!

Nachteile

Needed several rounds of tweaking to get it working correctly - had to work with my business coach as well as BLAB. I'm not especially tech savvy so this is to be expected - so worth the implementation effort! Biggest issue I've had is BLAB not recognizing blocked days on my calendar? Had 7-8 new clients book during 2 blocked travel days and it was not a great first impression to have to rebook them all.

Vorteile

I love the integration of different calendars with options to choose whether the info is read from or written to each one. The ease of creating Zoom links is super helpful & critical. I also love having a landing page with a video and basic info.

Nachteile

I would love to see more nuanced customization around confirmation & reminder emails.

Vorteile

Have been using this software for years - helps me manage my seminars and the booking and payment that goes with that.

Nachteile

Not very easy/functional in setting up new seminar offerings for my clients

Vorteile

With Book Like A Boss, I don't have to worry about scheduling appointments, selling my services, or creating my booking page from scratch. This is an all-in-one solution for me to be able to land more clients and get more sales. I can create unlimited offerings and landing pages, and I can sell physical products, digital items, or even my skills. This is so much more than a booking platform!

Nachteile

The only thing I would like for them to add is the ability to create distinct terms and conditions for different types of offerings because although there are common themes all of my offerings are not universal.

Vorteile

I like the customization. There are so many ways to make this compatible with my branding.

I also like the scheduling options - being able to set up time cushions between sessions, sync with my Google calendar, etc.

I especially LOVE that bookings can be pending approval! And that I can override and schedule clients earlier if I need to.

And the best thing is about this service is that their team actually LISTENS to their customers. They are very communicative and responsive, which is a big deal these days. Great customer service!

Nachteile

It can be a bit challenging to set up the services. I wish there were categories for the services, and I wish we could set up events & class series (multiple events in one series) more easily. It takes a bit to set up, but it is worth it once it's done.

Split payment would also be a nice addition - to be able to have clients pay with deposits for large ticket services or to have installment payments.

It would also be good to have more customization of the reminder emails sent to clients. I'd love to be able to put additional information into those emails.

But again, what's great about this company is that they LISTEN to their customers, and they're making some of these requested changes (the ones in high demand, anyway). The team is very communicative and responsive.

Vorteile

There is so much I like about Book Like a Boss that is not easy to know where to start from :D

First of all, I like the fact that it gives users the ability to create a page that can include the different types of appointments or services you may be selling as well as customer testimonials and videos. It is an excellent way to briefly showcase what you do, what you are all about, and what you sell.

Then there is the customization power you get. You can create and customize most things: appointment types and duration, confirmation/thank you messages, the branding of your Book Like a Boss calendar, and even decide whether you want to display the calendars for all your events or even the one (or ones) of a specific one (or ones). Same if you would like to embed it to your website, you have the ability to decide what gets displayed and what doesn't get displayed to users.

You can even use SMS reminders, or sell memberships, group classes or recurring classes/events. Plus, Book Like a Boss has quite the array of integrations so you will be able to use it with many of the tools you may already be using in your business.

Nachteile

I think the one thing that is missing from Book Like a Boss compared to some of its competitors is a mobile app. It would be great to be able to manage things and even contact people (with the web version you can already do this) with my smartphone so that I wouldn't always be dependent on my computer.

Vorteile

I love that my booking are set pending my review & approval. That was a must-have feature for me, and BLAB has it.
I also love the simplicity of the interface for my clients. It's been great transitioning them from phone calls to the online system.
And the ability to customize so much of the front end appearance is wonderful!

Nachteile

The setup interface is a bit confusing at first, and it's frustrating that the services cannot be easily grouped or segmented into categories.
It's also frustrating that partial payments/deposits cannot be set up through the system.
Though it can be done with some convoluting, it would be lovely to have simple & direct ways for ongoing classes/multiple/consecutive dates and 1-time workshop events to be booked through the system.
And I'd love more customization/full customization of the confirmation & booking reminder emails.

Vorteile

This is one of, if not the, easiest software that I've come across for booking. Everything is pretty intuitive but when you don't know how to do something, it's easy to find the instructions or a video. And it does SO much. Products, classes, meetings, groups, it does it all. Fast and easy.

Nachteile

I would love if I could customize the bio for each product or service. Maybe the ability to add team schedules. I would also like if the coupon or discount amount didn't show up as revenue.

Vorteile

I just love Book Like a Boss. This has been my go-to scheduling and booking tool for years. I love the seamless integration with Stripe and Paypal, allowing my customers to see my availability (without asking me) and booking and paying for my services without me having to lift a finger!

Nachteile

I don't believe that they have a moblie app, but if they did, man that would awesome! And they are deploying new features so regularly, they actually might have an app and I totally missed it with all the new features that put out all the time!

Vorteile

I love the way I can easily present the information and details about my services & course offerings in a way that looks professional, clear & accessible for my clients both on computer & mobile.I also love how I can easily do what I need to do on my own without needing outside support. When I do need support, the online support is awesome!

Nachteile

At the moment, I am not thinking of any cons!

Vorteile

It removed many barriers for clients, made the user experience smooth and simple, enabling them to manage things from their side. Also, being able to create buffers between bookable sessions has been life changing for me, creates a discipline that I would struggle with if booking clients in manually. This means that I am properly ready for each session, instead of bouncing from back to back bookings. I also like how you can set global calendar settings so you don't have to repeat this part of the process.

Nachteile

I would like to charge in multiple currencies as my clients are based across many locations. I'd like to create some products in USD and others in different currencies. My business bank account works with multiple currencies, so I would like to charge in different currencies

Vorteile

It’s easy to use, even for someone like me (ahem, not too tech savvy). It’s organized well. and there are lots of fields to customize my appointments and services. I especially like the price range offer (to allow customers to flex pay what they can), as well as the integrations with my gmail and Zoom!

Nachteile

I wish there was the capability to add custom times for all the different services. I might want to offer one service on one day, and virtual services only at night. Yet, also need another two options! I am utilizing the global schedule as well as custom settings, but the custom settings are a bulk offering, and I wish it was an override for each service!

Vorteile

What I like most about Book Like A Boss is the flexibility. You can create as many booking links as you'd like and all under the same or different schedules. I love that my clients can book when needed, there is no back and forth. I set up when I want to have open time and the rest gets filled in without any extra effort or time spent by me. I like that Book can take payment for paid services, making that efficient and seamless.

Nachteile

I think sometimes where things are can be a mystery. Sometimes I need to poke around and take more time than I need to find what I want.

Vorteile

I love the amount of customization I can do, yet it's so simple to use. I find it extremely reliable and makes this one woman show run so smoothly. Seamlessly integrating with my calender and platforms. I love that I can have waivers and every single detail with BLAB come together.

Nachteile

I've been with the platform for awhile and everytime I ever even think of something that could get better they are already on-top of it, so no, there's nothing.

Calendly

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Book Like A Boss

It had more to offer.

Vorteile

It allows me to take payments and create group offerings. One of the things that is challenging when you have group offerings is to create easy follow-up reminders. Book like a Boss does it all!

Nachteile

I can't think of anything. I seriously looked for 2 years with intensive research to replace Calendly and then I found Book Like a Boss and it knocked it out of the park.

Vorteile

As a service business I have services that cost different amounts and take different amounts of time to complete. Book Like A Boss has been the only software I've used so far that I was able to easily customize not only the prices but the length of times that each service took for my clients and space out the appointment booking accordingly and automatically.

Nachteile

I wish there was an app version of the booking page that your clients could download and book you right on their phone. Also, I wish it was easier to track transactions and able to export all the appointments for a client for each year.

Vorteile

I love that Book Like a Boss supports me as a business owner. It takes care of all of my scheduling needs and send reminders to clients. It automatically books the appointments on my calendar and this is extremely valuable!

Nachteile

When I first started using Book Like A Boss, there was not a Mobile app. This May no longer be the case. I would love to use a mobile app!

Vorteile

I can create quick landing pages for products and services and connect to scheduling and payment well before I need to put together the "long-form" stuff. I've been able to operate solely from Book Like A Boss at times.

Nachteile

I'd love to have a simple "front facing" web/landing page feature that doesn't dive into all the services and events immediately and allows clients to click through to those longer pages.

Vorteile

convenient and easy to use, what else to say...

Nachteile

maybe picking my url could be helpful for me

Vorteile

I bought BLAB when it was a lifetime deal on Appsumo (I buy mostly lifetime deals). I love its versatility, professionalism (it can act as a website/booking page - you can create something as basic or intricate as you want), and the ease of creating Products and Services. I took part in the CloverConnect payment processor offer and now enjoy spending way less on fees. The FB group is a great resource and Support is fast and fantastic to work with.

Nachteile

I would love an integration with ConvertKit (right now I use Zapier).

Vorteile

Easy to use and great visual appeal. Customer service is stellar!

Nachteile

Lack of integration with my email is the only thing

Vorteile

I can create personalized booking links for repeat customers.

Nachteile

Lately there have been glitches with customers not receiving confirmation emails - and no easy way to find an answer.

Vorteile

Easy to use -- takes care of scheduling and billing at the same time. If I need customer support, very smart nice people get back to me by email with precise answers to precise questions

Nachteile

Nothing. It all works very well. I can even see past transactions easily.

Vorteile

What I like best is that I felt valued as a customer and Book Like a Boss worked with me to make it the best option for me! FIVE STARS! Very impressed!I like that it looks professional, that customer support is quick to respond, and that I can personalize it to match my brand.I like the many options in the page settings allowing me to really personalize it for my needs.

Nachteile

I would want more hand holding with questions instead of sending a video of how to fix the problem. I don't like that the name book.me is hard for clients to remember. I would want there to be a paypal membership option.

Vorteile

I like that it is easy to set up, I was able to use a Zap to integrate it with ConvertKit, and that it automatically creates meetings in Zoom

Nachteile

I don't like that the pages aren't fully customizable. You are locked into the design. I have a workaround where I embed the booking function onto my own page, but I would prefer if I could do it straight in Book Like A Boss. Also, the emails aren't very customizable either.

Vorteile

Scheduling and ease of use. The reminders and the ability for people to book and reschedule on the site.

Nachteile

Organizing camps and having a set number of bookings I found that hard to figure out.

Vorteile

It is prompt and provides all the necessary information one needs to make an informed booking.

Nachteile

It doesn't inform the client very much about data protection.

Vorteile

Easy to learn and use even for nontechie people. The tutorials are great. The customer service is fast and helpful! The software is versatile, I'm able to create different products and appointments easily. I can have different price points and easily set up coupons for special pricing events. I can clone appointments and products then edit the details for a new product/appointment easily and quickly.

Nachteile

All the choices were a little overwhelming at first - brand colors, home page, add video, there are so many ways to personalize the account. I found the tutorials, and moved through them. I s and was able to follow the clear instructions.

Vorteile

There are several features I really like about Book Like a Boss.

First of all, there's its overall ease of use. It's easy to navigate through the different sections and carry out the first steps such as connecting and syncing a calendar, creating and customizing an event/appointment, and to connect a payment getaway like PayPal or Stripe to Book Like a Boss.

Secondly, I really like the fact that Book Like a Boss can be used not only to schedule appointments, interviews and virtual meetings, but to actually get paid for calls too. You can actually get paid for them before the call takes place, which means that you won't have to chase clients for payments afterwards.

Additionally, there's your personal Book Like a Boss page that you can create and add multimedia content (e.g. video), as well as testimonials, FAQs, and more, to it.

Another feature I think is valuable is the ability to add custom fields to a form someone needs to fill out to schedule an appointment – you aren't limited just to name and email address, but you can ask for other things.

Then, there are integrations. It's possible, for example, to connect Book Like a Boss to tools like Google Calendar, PayPal and Zoom to create a workflow that lets people see your availability, schedule a call – and pay you for it – and have a Zoom room be automatically created for the call.

Nachteile

One thing that I think could be improved is the customization power users get for their Book Like a Boss page. For how things are at the moment, all pages by different users look pretty much the same... it would be able to have greater options to choose from when creating the page.

One of the main reasons that led me to switch from Calendly to Book Like a Boss was the fact that I couldn't get paid on Calendly, whereas with Book Like a Boss I can get paid for coaching or consulting calls.

BLAB is reliable and just works. What may be most exciting about the software from my perspective is the ability to set up a variety of individual and group services (appointments, classes, events) and easily take bookings and get paid. The company keeps adding features and improving things, and the customer service is top notch. This is software I trust and have done for 5+ years now.

Nachteile

It can be less than intuitive to customize booking and reminder emails. In the past I've had to do text bookings just to make sure I was getting what I thought I'd be getting.

Calendly und Acuity Scheduling

Warum Book Like A Boss gewählt wurde

I grabbed a lifetime deal for BLAB. I know there was a specific functional reason I didn't love ScheduleOnce, but it's been years and I can't remember!

Vorteile

Book Like A Boss, was simple to set up and is easy to use software. I like being able to create different appointments and customise them for my needs. For example, 60 minute or 90 minute calls. This software allows me to schedule free coaching calls and sell my coaching services. I have been able to customise Book Like A Boss to my brand. Also, able to change calendar availability either globally or for each appointment separately.

Nachteile

I am unable to create a package or service that consists of 2 different appointment times, for example, 6 calls at 60 minutes and one call at 90 minutes.

Vorteile

Almost perfect booking tool. Easy to implement, all the options you need, best calendar integration .

Nachteile

Unfortunately, international users might be disappointed. In all confirmation email that are sent out to clients, times and dates are not translated which leads to a mix of English and (in my case) German in the emails and even in the subject field. This looks really unprofessional and I've been considering other options just because of this. It definitely kept me from recommending this tool to many colleagues.A second option that's missing is to be able to embed multiple booking options on my website. There is a workaround but an official solution would be appreciated.

Vorteile

I really like that I can set up as many different products and apppointments as I want. My customers can schedule their appointments and can also buy my services. This makes life really easy. I really like that it looks like a landing page with some information about me, FAQs, testimonials and all products and services in the long version. On the other hand I can choose the lite version when someone only asks for a calendar.
I can limit the number of appointments per service or the number of persons who can book e.g. a training, which is really good.
The guys of BLAB keep on improving their service which I really appreciate.

Nachteile

Nothing, it´s perfect for me and I cannot complain.

Vorteile

- Facebook pixel integration
- texting and email reminders are incredibly robust
- multiple time options and customization for thank you pages
- simple and easy to use interface
- calendar iframe embedding works great

Nachteile

- Multiple calendar options on the main page can offer too many calendar options to everyone, when you might want to constrain it to certain scenarios
- creating a thank you page redirect requires you to use a different platform versus a built-in native thank you page builder
- simple and easy to use interface doesn't allow for more customization, which can be a blessing and a curse

Vorteile

Zoom integration - Each client immediately gets a private zoom link for their scheduled session.

Email automation - Each client immediately gets email automation, including option to reschedule or cancel their session without needing to directly contact me.

Easy to use booking system - Lots of options for me on the backend, to set my hours and dates I am unavailable. Easy to use booking system for the user to find a date and time that works for them.

Embed options - Work like a charm.

Nachteile

For the last few years this software has done everything I need it do. No cons I can think of

Calendly

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Book Like A Boss

Didn't like Calendly or Woocommerce Events on Wordpress. Any combination of plugins on wordpress was always clunky and required updates. Calendly forced me into Microsoft which I didn't like.

Vorteile

I love BLAB because it offers everything I need as a consultant and coach. I get my own landing page that I can customize with my personal brand. I get to create as many appointments as I need with super easy link sharing for each one, depending on the client I'm working with. My clients love the automatic text/email reminders before our scheduled call, and I love that BLAB automatically creates a Zoom link and calendar event for me!

Nachteile

I'd like to see the client management section with more features, such as editing a client, adding personal notes, sorting, groups, etc.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Book Like A Boss

I love the customizable landing page with BLAB, something other competitors didn't offer.

Vorteile

This is great platform and they are always looking to improve it. You can have multiple calendars, some public and some hidden, a professional looking landing page along with testimonials and service description that are different fro each calendar if you want. You can also connect it to your payment process to take payments and to your Zoom account to automatically shcedule a Zoom meeting .

Nachteile

They are continually updating to remove the bugs and improve the features so what wasn't good is fixed or improved on.

Vorteile

I have the Appsumo Venti plan and I LOVE the brand removal and 100 SMS reminders/mo add-ons!

I've found this software really easy to set up and very robust. It syncs to all of your calendars and also auto-deducts your client's time zones for easy booking. Not just that, you can take payments for appointments (the system integrates with Stripe, Square, & PayPal.)

Even though I won't use this feature, but I appreciate the full pages & lite pages where you get to add in an About Me section, social links, videos and testimonials.

Nachteile

This is just my personal preference, but user interface of the embedded calendar could use some improvement. I find it too small for my taste and not clear enough about the exact day a client is making the appointment on (the date is clear but not so much the day). This is actually why I'm still with Acuity and paying a monthly subscription.

I was also dissatisfied with the load time of the calendar, though I'm not 100% sure if that has been fixed at the time of this review, which is another reason why I'm still with Acuity.

Vorteile

They truly listen to what customers need and they deliver. The software is easy to learn, looks professional from the end user view, and has so many options. the BLAB team takes feedback on what customers need and they keep adding functionality!

Nachteile

Just waiting on one function, (that may be on the horizon) so I can be 100% free of needing any other options. There are times when I manually want to schedule​ somebody at a time that I have blocked out. I want to be able to do that on my end, without them being able to choose to later reschedule​ and take a time that I don't want to allow client meetings.

Vorteile

The ease of set up from start to finish is a major plus, especially for those less tech saavy. It is a simple yet a robust and effective tool for many different industries, whether they sell products or services. The various integrations are easy to set up, even for a beginner. Support and ongoing development are terrific. It has changed so much from inception - all for the better.

Nachteile

The only glitch I have found is for the a series of services requiring payment or scheduling. I have done a work around which is ok, though it requires a manual send versus an automatic one. Not a big deal for me, but it may be for bigger companies.

Warum Book Like A Boss gewählt wurde

BLAB was a much better and user friendly platform.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Book Like A Boss

A much better product for a great price. I bought in when it was just starting. Best decision I have made.

Vorteile

Book Like A Boss is an appointment scheduling software with integrated payment and calendar features. It's a great way to take payments online, manage your schedule, and simplify the process of booking appointments for clients in one seamless experience. The integration to G Suite makes it easy for you to share calendars and bookings between team members so that everyone knows what's going on at all times. It is nicely designed and looks great!

Nachteile

I was lucky enough to pick BLAB up on a lifetime deal two or three years ago so it's been great value. However, I think it's monthly pricing is a little more expensive than some of it's competitors.

Vorteile

I love this software! I use it myself and I recommend it to all my clients. I appreciate how easy you can setup and configure appointments along with the details available for each appt such as availability, custom fields, reminders and more. You can even identify which calendar you want an appt to go to and which calendar a specific appt should pull availability from. This is more flexibility than most of the current tools on the market.

Nachteile

The only thing I wish it had that it doesn't yet have is the ability to sell packages of appointments.

Vorteile

The ability to sync with other calendars and also to my mobile phone, it's a mini virtual assistant and landing page in one web page. Very affordable for all that it offers and easy to use once it's learned.

Nachteile

Initially had to figure out how to get it to work with a stand-alone Office 365 Outlook. Had to use Google Sync to Outlook Sync application to force the sync and then push it to BLAB. Now it works and I'm happy.

Vorteile

I own a law firm and I offer free consultations to potential clients. I also book appointments with my current clients. I love how BLAB helps me to completely automate the scheduling of my appointments. I also like how the BLAB team has been consistently pushing out new features, providing helpful video tutorials, and responding to feedback from users in its Facebook group.

Nachteile

I need to be able to customize my SMS (text message) appointment reminders. The current SMS reminders are just generic reminders.

Vorteile

Quick setup and fully fleshed out introductory walk through.

Easily set up different kinds of meetings for different lengths, availability, and price.

You can setup Book Like A Boss to check your personal calendar for your availability, so if you have something you schedule yourself somewhere else, it will not show that time slot as available for a booking. It does this automatically and it's one less thing to worry about.

They give you a booking page where you can customize what your page looks like, turning elements on or off.

Nachteile

The reminder emails lack customization.

After someone books, they only get a thank you message that displays on screen. There is no thank you page, you have to do a custom redirect to somewhere else.
