The best booking software for small teams

Once more than one person takes bookings, the questions change: can meetings be shared out (round robin), can visitors be routed to the right person, and what does each extra seat cost? The table on this page works out list prices for teams of three and five.

Monthly list price for the cheapest paid plan that covers that many people, calculated from published per-user, per-staff or per-calendar prices (arithmetic only, no discounts). Tools priced per location or per calendar cost the same within the plan's limits. GBP where the vendor publishes it, otherwise USD. Free plans may cover you instead; see each tool's limits.
