Bookodile vs Bookio

Free at one location with up to two active booking spots and 40 bookings a month, with every feature and add-on — SMS aside, which need a paid plan. Not a trial — a plan a small business stays on. A paid plan starts with 14 days free rather than a charge. More

FREEMIUM, 'Navždy zdarma' (free forever): one user, 100 reservations a month, one room and one rental item. It includes email confirmations, buffers, group reservations, the iFrame embed and booking from a Facebook profile; email reminders, your own logo, online payments and exports start on paid plans. Source

No commission, no new-client fee, no per-booking charge. The bill is the subscription, plus any SMS you send with the SMS messages add-on, billed per SMS and capped each month. More

No marketplace and no fee on an ordinary booking is published. A commission, 'provízia z platby', applies to every online payment, deposit, gift voucher and pass that Bookio processes; its terms say the rate is set in the signed contract, and no page states it. Source

Every feature and add-on is included — reminders, reviews, vouchers, the waiting list, forecasting, Messages, AI Chat and the website with your own domain. The one thing billed by use is SMS: the SMS messages add-on is free, and each SMS is billed monthly with a paid plan at a price per country, never more a month than a cap that starts at the plan's own price. Each location is billed at a base rate. More

Most features come with a plan tier. Two things are charged on top of every plan: SMS confirmations, reminders and campaigns, paid from prepaid credits at 0.074 € per message in Slovakia, and the commission on online payments, vouchers and passes. PREMIUM has no listed price. Source

One plan, with free limits: every account, including a free one, has every feature and add-on. The one exception is SMS, which need a paid plan, because each one is billed on its invoice. More

EASY holds email reminders, manual approval, your own logo, the Google Calendar link, online payments and customer import. SMART holds recurring bookings, time blocks, the multilingual page, add-ons, form questions, staff permissions, exports, blacklists, discount codes and Google-review requests. STANDARD holds 'Párové služby' (pair services), rooms that block each other, the waiting list, staff photos and shifts, client tags and the API. PREMIUM holds removing the Bookio logo, on-site vouchers and priority support. Source

Monthly, no minimum term, no cancellation fee. There is no yearly plan. More

Subscriptions run for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months on an open-ended contract; you cancel in writing or by email and it takes effect at the end of the period you paid for. No exit fee is published. A downgrade applies from the next period and, per the terms, needs Bookio's consent; a prepaid period is not refunded if Bookio ends the contract for a breach. Source

Bookodile does not take your customers' money. The payment-tracking add-on records what you were paid; payment stays between you and the customer. More

Through Bookio's own gateway from EASY, with a commission set in the contract. Its booking widget offers card payment, Tatrapay, Sporopay, VÚB ePlatby and Platba24 for full prepayment, deposits, gift vouchers and passes. Voucher proceeds are paid out by the 20th of the following month. Source

bookodile.com/your-business, with your logo, colour, services — each with its photo, when you add one — and hours. One page per location. More

A booking page for each business on services.bookio.com, on every plan, and a unique link straight to one service from EASY. The link can sit on a Facebook profile or in a pinned post. Source

One snippet embeds the whole flow in any site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or hand-built — inline or behind a Book-now button in your brand colour. A QR code is generated for print. More

An iFrame code for your own website on every plan, including FREEMIUM. Bookio's terms say its staff help connect the widget to your website and Facebook page. Source

The customer gives only the details you require — a name, and an email, a phone number or both. No account, no app, no password. My Bookings, a web page they sign in to with an emailed code or Google, shows every booking they hold, if they want it. More

The booking form ends with first name, last name, email and phone. There is no sign-in or registration step anywhere in the widget. Source

Combo services chain stages into one booking, and the extras you configure are offered during booking, in more than one round. Customers do not pick arbitrary pairs from the catalogue — you decide which combinations exist. More

One service is chosen per booking. Extras are 'Doplnkové služby' (add-on services) on SMART and above, which extend the same visit and show a combined duration and price. No step for adding a second full service is published. Source

Each stage of a combo can have its own team member, its own duration and its own room, booked back to back. Each person is blocked only for their own stage, never for the whole visit. Staff move the whole visit in one step, with the times that fit every person in it shown first. More

Not published. The one multi-person feature Bookio documents is the opposite shape: a service that must be performed by at least two team members at the same time, offered only when two are free and written into both calendars. STANDARD lists 'Párové služby' (pair services) with no definition anywhere on the site.

Rooms, chairs and equipment with a capacity and their own hours. A service can need a resource alone, a person alone, or both, and capacity is enforced when the booking is made. A service linked to several takes whichever one is free; a booking never holds two at once. Each one is open to anyone who does its services, or kept for named people when it belongs to them — three juniors share a chair while the master has his own. More

Rooms with a capacity and overbooking prevention, capped at one room on FREEMIUM and EASY, two on SMART and five on STANDARD; rooms that block each other's services on STANDARD and above; rental items booked by count, with the same caps. Source

Events with a capacity and a registration list for one-off things; a recurring class is a service on a resource with a capacity, so it fills up and stops. More

Courses and excursions with free capacity shown, a participant count, per-participant prices and online prepayment. Group reservations are on every plan; the course calendar starts on EASY. Source

A service can be priced per team member, or per category such as Junior and Senior. The customer sees each person's price as they choose who, and the category's name too if you show it. More

Not published. The booking page can show a 'from' price, but no page describes a price that differs by who performs the service.

A service can take a different time per team member. Leave someone blank and they use the service's own duration. More

Not published anywhere on bookio.com.

Each service can have its own buffer after it, up to 120 minutes, which blocks the person and any resource it used. Enforced on the booking page and in the booking API. More

A time reserve before and after a service on every plan, and the calendar can add a break between reservations automatically. Source

Your team adds customers to the list; they cannot join it from the booking page. When a booking is cancelled, the time is offered automatically by email to whoever has waited longest for that service, with three hours to confirm — or until the time starts, if sooner — and confirming books them straight in. If nobody confirms, it goes to the next person waiting for that service within about ten minutes, as long as the time is still ahead and still free. More

'Čakacia listina (náhradníci)', a list of substitutes, on STANDARD and above. A customer can join for several full times; when one frees up, Bookio emails or texts everyone waiting and the first to respond gets it. The business can instead hand the freed time to a customer of its choosing. Source

Your team can repeat a booking of one service from the calendar — weekly, every two weeks or monthly, up to 52 visits — and cancel one visit or the whole series. A combo or a booking with add-ons cannot be repeated. Customers cannot book a recurring appointment themselves. More

'Opakované rezervácie' (repeat reservations) on SMART and above, created by the team: a customer can be booked half a year ahead in one reservation. The intervals are not stated, and customers booking a repeat themselves is not described. Source

Minimum notice (up to 72 hours), how far ahead (up to 365 days), start times every 5 to 60 minutes, auto-confirm or your approval, and a cancellation window (up to 168 hours) with late cancellation allowed or not — one set of rules per location. More

Automatic confirmation on every plan, manual approval and booking requests from EASY, a service available only at set times from SMART, and a limit on how far ahead a customer may book. Minimum notice and slot spacing are not published. Source

Customers reschedule or cancel themselves from the link in their confirmation and reminder emails, or in My Bookings, outside your cancellation window, and can tell you why. A reschedule moves the whole visit in one step to a free time with the same team members and price, and the customer's calendar event moves with it. Inside the window they cannot reschedule online, and can cancel only if you allow late cancellations, once they accept they may be charged. More

Bookio's customer terms give the customer the right to change or cancel within the deadline shown at payment and in the confirmation email, but no page says whether that is a link the customer clicks or a call to the business.

No card on file and no deposits, because Bookodile does not process payments. A no-show is marked on the booking and counted on the customer's record, never charged. You can let customers cancel late once they accept you may charge them; collecting it is up to you. More

Full prepayment, or a deposit now with the balance paid on site, from EASY with a commission. The business sets its own cancellation terms, and the customer terms allow a late-cancellation or no-show fee of up to 100% of the service price. Holding a card without charging it is not described. Source

Extras are offered while booking, per service or per category, in up to several rounds, with an optional discount for adding them. A service can be offered only as an extra, off the list of services. More

'Doplnky' (add-ons): extras offered in the booking form and added to the basket, shown as a separate add-on price and extending the total duration. SMART and above. Source

Included in every account, the free one too. Built from your booking setup — services, prices, team, hours and reviews stay in step with it — with templates (switching one keeps every page, or takes a template whole with its texts rewritten for your business from your setup), one page or several in any of them, your own look, extra pages, languages, your Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube as icons in the footer, and a photo gallery in categories you name — a category linked to a service opens its photos with that service's price and a Book button — photos made or enhanced with AI, changed by asking in your own words — pointing at any part of it on the preview — or by hand, typing straight onto the page and moving, copying or changing its sections where you see them, on a computer or a phone, and nothing public until you publish. An old website comes over by asking: its pages rebuilt as sections, with their own words and photos. It starts at yourname.bookodile.com; connect a domain you already own, at no cost, and it moves to www.yourbusiness.com. Every Book button opens your booking page at bookodile.com/your-business — the one under each team member with that person already chosen — and a Website visits report counts who came, from where, and how many booked, without cookies. Running promotions, upcoming events and announcements show on it too, and update themselves as they start and end. No blog, no online shop, and no code of your own. More

Not published. Bookio's pages offer its booking form for the business's own website or a Facebook profile — 'Možnosť rezervácie aj bez vlastnej stránky', booking even without a website of your own — and no pricing, feature or terms page offers to build a website or to put one on a domain of the business's own. The booking page on services.bookio.com is the hosted-booking-page row.

Included in every account, the free one too, up to 30 photos a month per account, each try counted. Take a photo on your phone and Enhance it, a team member's or a service's too: in your own words in any language, with ideas for your kind of business, by picking a look from pictures, or by putting a person or finished work into a photo of your own place, with before and after to compare. Create a photo from a description for a place on your website that has none — the top of a page, a service's cover, a card, or your gallery — in your own photo style. Then say what should change, like "remove the hand" or "clear the background", and it edits that photo, keeping every version. AI Chat can make several at once. You choose each one, and nothing is public until you publish. It works on your website's photos: it will not make a person's face, your team's portraits or the outside of your place, because customers should see the real ones. More

Not published. Bookio's plan table and feature pages cover pictures the business uploads itself — 'Staff photos', 'Service photos' and a logo — and none describes making a picture from a description or improving one with AI.

No marketplace. Your booking page carries only your business, and no competitor is shown beside you — which also means it sends you no new customers.

No consumer directory. The channels Bookio lists are your own website, the iFrame, a Facebook profile link and being findable in Google; its terms only reserve the right to distribute the widget through partner portals. Source

No consumer app to download. Customers book in the browser. My Bookings, a web page they sign in to with an emailed code or Google, lists every booking they hold with any Bookodile business; there they cancel, keep their details up to date and can turn off a business's SMS. More

Bookio describes itself as 'available online, nothing to install', and no customer app is listed in the App Store or Google Play. The confirmation lets a customer add the booking to iCal, Google Calendar or Outlook instead. Source

The booking page, the embedded widget and every email about a booking come in 17 languages: English, Slovak, Czech, Vietnamese, German, Hungarian, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian and Chinese. Each location has a main language — English, Slovak, Czech or Vietnamese — and can add up to seven more, from the same list as its website. With more than one, the booking page shows a language switch and opens in the customer's own language when the location offers it (from the link, their last choice or their browser), otherwise in the main one. Every email and SMS about a booking goes out in the language it was made in; SMS in Ukrainian or Chinese go out in English, because they would not fit one SMS, while their emails and booking page stay in that language. Service names, descriptions, team bios and the location's other texts are translated automatically by AI, and the owner can correct any translation; names are never translated. The booking page's own wording in the 13 languages beyond English, Slovak, Czech and Vietnamese was written by AI and has not yet been read by a native speaker. What your customers read and what you read in the dashboard are separate settings. More

The booking page switches between Slovak, Czech, English, German, Hungarian, Polish and Ukrainian; a page in several languages is SMART and above. No Vietnamese. Source

Every time is shown in the business's own zone, including on your dashboard. A customer in another zone sees both clocks before they confirm. Locations in different zones each keep their own; the group's combined monthly totals count on one clock. Each location writes its times on a 24-hour or a 12-hour clock (2:30 PM) — its country's until you pick one — on the booking page, in emails and SMS, on the website and in the dashboard alike. More

Nothing published about time zones on the booking page or in the calendar.

Your own domain, at no cost: connect one you already own and your website moves to www.yourbusiness.com (the website row). The booking page its Book buttons open stays at bookodile.com/your-business, and the widget puts the same booking inside any other site you run, on that site's domain. Your logo, a second logo for dark backgrounds, a logo that links back to your own website, your brand colour with a contrast check, and announcements along the top of your booking page and your website. No custom CSS. More

Your own logo and colours from EASY, with the whole design changeable, staff and service photos, and a form in your colours, style and font. The Bookio logo comes off only on PREMIUM. A custom domain and custom CSS are not mentioned. Source

The hosted page follows the customer's device, and a sun-and-moon button lets them switch; My Bookings keeps the same choice. Your brand colour is adjusted to stay visible on dark. The embedded widget stays light on purpose, so it matches the website it sits in. More

Not published.

No Reserve with Google or Instagram integration. Your booking link, bookodile.com/your-business, goes in your Google profile, your bio or a post like any link. Campaign tracking, an included add-on, gives ready-tagged links for Google, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok and counts the bookings each one brings.

A booking link or pinned post on a Facebook profile. The Reserve with Google page is pitched at Bookio's restaurant product, and the services plan table lists only being findable in Google. Instagram is not mentioned. Source

On from the start, once an automatic check of the business name passes — normally within minutes: your booking page is in the sitemap search engines read, under your business's name, with your own description and address as the snippet, and Bing and others are told when it changes. A published website is listed the same way at its own address, from its first online booking or two weeks after publishing. One switch keeps both out. Search engines still decide what to show and when. More

'Dohľadateľnosť v Google' (findability in Google; 'Findability on Google' on the English pricing page) is a line under 'Rezervačná stránka a dizajn' (booking page and design) on every plan, FREEMIUM included. No page says what is listed or under which name, and no search settings are described. Source

AI Chat, in every account including the free one, with a daily allowance per account. Ask in English, Slovak, Czech or Vietnamese, typed or spoken: it answers how-to questions from this documentation and your own settings, explains why a day has no free times and who changed what; sets up team, services, prices, hours, rooms, booking rules, add-ons, logo and brand colour, and the order of your services and team; writes bios, your about text and service descriptions; builds and changes your website's draft and brings over the words of an old site; and moves, cancels or hands over bookings and blocks time, once or repeating. It shows every change first and waits for you to apply it, with Undo — only texts and the website's draft go in at once, still with Undo, and the website stays private until you publish. It answers you, not your customers, and does not create bookings. More

Not published. No pricing, feature, contact or terms page on bookio.com mentions AI, an AI assistant or a chatbot of Bookio's own. The one assistant named is Google's: the Reserve with Google page says customers can book from Google Maps, Search and the Google Assistant.

Day, week and month. Drag a booking to a new time or a different person — the calendar names any clash first, and Undo puts it back for ten seconds after. Block out time for the business, one person or a resource — once, or repeating every day, on chosen weekdays, every two weeks or every month. Add a walk-in; filter by person, service or resource. A visit with several services moves as one — dragged, or from the booking dialog, which shows the times that fit everyone first and still takes any other day and time, listing what it clashes with. More

A calendar with the whole business's load at a glance, double bookings prevented, lists filtered by date, service and team member, and repeated time blocks from SMART. Day, week and month views and drag-and-drop are not described. Source

No native app. The dashboard is a web app that installs to a phone's home screen and works there, online. No push notifications: the team is told about bookings by email. More

A web app — 'available online, nothing to install' — with app notifications to team members from SMART. No store listing. Source

Up to 50 locations in one account — a guard against misuse, raised on request — each with its own team, hours, services and booking page. A new location can start from one you have — its services with prices, hours, booking rules, logo and colours and website — and takes the team members you pick. Customers are one list across them, a team member can work at several with one sign-in, and a group dashboard totals them. The free plan covers one location; each location is billed at a base rate. More

Marketed for running several locations, with a customer quoted running it in five cities. Whether locations share one account, and what a second location costs, are not published. Source

Owner, Manager, Employee and Receptionist ready-made, or build a role and set each permission by hand — including whether someone sees only their own bookings, customers and figures, takes bookings at all, can message customers, or manages billing, which only the owner can give. More

Permission levels for team members from SMART. The page names a manager, a receptionist and a temporary worker as examples, with statistics kept to the owner. Fully custom roles are not described. Source

Activity records changes to bookings, customers, services, resources, the team, time off, blocked time and settings: what changed from what to what, who did it — a team member by name, the customer, or automatic — how and when. Each role sees the history of what it can open, a booking's own history sits in the booking window with what the customer was sent, and it exports to CSV. Kept 24 months, in every account. Not recorded: what a role may do, prices set per team member or category, payment records, billing and add-on records such as vouchers; a note shows as edited, never its words. More

Not published. The pricing page lists 'Databáza a história termínov' and 'Databáza a história klientov' (appointment and customer database and history) from EASY without describing either; no page describes a record of who changed a reservation, a customer or a setting.

Revenue, bookings, average value and cancellation rate over the last twelve months, charted month by month, with bookings by status, new customers, top services and the team ranked by revenue; per location or across all. A no-show counts as a booking, never as revenue. Website visits shows who came to your website, from where, and how many booked. Forecasting, revenue split, booking sources and payments received are included add-ons. The period is fixed at twelve months. More

Basic statistics on EASY and the full set on SMART: most-booked service, busiest team member, highest profit, new against returning customers and room utilisation, with export and print. No forecast or retention report is published. Source

A monthly competition on bookings or revenue that the whole team sees, with a winner per category if you want one, results frozen and emailed on the 1st, and a Hall of fame. Revenue amounts stay hidden from the team unless you show them. Up to three at once, per location. An included add-on. More

Statistics from the EASY plan show which team member is busiest and what each one contributes, but Bookio's permissions page says statistics stay in the owner's interface. No ranking, competition or goal is shown to the team. Source

No point of sale, no stock, no payroll — a walk-in is a booking. The included payment-tracking add-on records what each visit was paid, by cash, card or transfer, with part-payments and tips shared between the people who did the work, and Revenue split works out each team member's share at the percentage you set, month by month. More

QR payments on site from EASY and on-site voucher sales on PREMIUM. No point of sale, stock or payroll is published. Source

Confirmations, a reminder the day before at 8:00, two hours before or both — your choice — changes, cancellations and follow-ups by email, all included, in the language the customer booked in. By SMS too with the SMS messages add-on: the add-on is free, and SMS need a paid plan — billed monthly with it, per SMS, capped each month. SMS reach numbers in 14 countries today; Czechia, the US and Canada are coming soon. More

Email confirmations on every plan and email reminders from EASY. SMS confirmations and reminders are marked paid on every plan and come from prepaid credits: 0.074 € per SMS in Slovakia, 0.079 € in Czechia and Poland, 0.094 € in Hungary, 0.101 € in Austria, without VAT, on a list dated 2 March 2026. Custom SMS wording from EASY; the team is told of new, changed and cancelled bookings by SMS, email or app. Source

Messages, in every account: write to one customer from the calendar or their page by email, SMS or both, and read their answer in one inbox, with unread ones marked and the team told by email. Email is included; SMS need the SMS messages add-on on a paid plan, billed per SMS — Czech, US and Canadian numbers coming soon. The customer answers on a page the message links to, not by replying to the email or text, and cannot start a conversation. No WhatsApp. More

Not published. Bookio documents bulk SMS to all or selected customers (the marketing-campaigns row) and an SMS to the customer when a reservation is cancelled or changed; no page describes writing to one customer and reading the answer inside Bookio.

No bulk email or SMS campaigns. Included add-ons instead: a win-back sequence of up to three emails to customers overdue for a visit, judged by their own usual gap, never to anyone with a booking ahead and starting over after their next visit, the later ones with a one-time discount code; promotions and announcements on your booking page and your website, an announcement optionally kept on the booking page for customers who have booked before; and Campaign tracking, which shows which ads and links bring bookings. More

Bulk SMS to all customers, a selection, or one team member's customers, on prepaid credits; an automatic win-back SMS invitation after a set number of days; and a customer email database 'for newsletters'. No bulk email sender is described. Source

Collect a rating and comment after each visit, publish them on your booking page and website when you choose — all of them, never hand-picked — reply in public or privately, and ask every customer, not only the happy ones, for a Google review in the same email. More

A private rating after the visit, with a reply, from EASY. Requests for reviews on other portals such as Google, and positive ratings shown on the booking page, from SMART. Source

Gift vouchers, discount codes, promotions and upsell discounts, all included. No packages or memberships, and vouchers are issued by you rather than sold online. More

Gift vouchers and passes, 'permanentky', sold online from EASY with a commission; on-site vouchers on PREMIUM; discount codes limited by service, date and usage from SMART; and 'Prémiové VIP termíny', peak times at a higher price. Source

Bookings are pushed into one Google Calendar per location as they are made, moved or cancelled. One direction only — Google events do not block your availability — not one calendar per team member, and no Outlook sync. Customers can add their own booking to Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar. More

A Google Calendar link for team members from EASY, direction not stated. Customers can add a booking to iCal, Google Calendar or Outlook from the confirmation. No Outlook sync for the team is described. Source

A consent checkbox in your own wording, with a link to your privacy policy — each customer's agreement is recorded with the date and the wording they saw — invoice details that can be optional or required, and a notes field. No custom intake forms or questions, and no e-signatures. More

Open and multiple-choice questions in the booking form, required questions, a note field and a marketing-consent checkbox, from SMART; your own terms and privacy text can be embedded. No e-signature is described. Source

Export bookings, customers and the activity log to CSV whenever you like. No import tool yet — customers from another tool are added one at a time or as they book — and no public API. More

Export and print of reservations and customers to Excel from SMART, customer import from EASY, and API access from STANDARD. The terms say personal data is returned or deleted when the contract ends. Source

Email support, included, with the documentation at bookodile.com/docs behind it, and AI Chat in the dashboard, which answers how-to questions from that documentation and from your own settings. A new business is walked through its setup in AI Chat right after signing up — its services, texts and website — at no cost. No phone line, and no chat with a person. More

Phone support Monday to Friday 09:00–17:00, email, a bookable free consultation, and help with setup included ('Pomôžeme vám s nastavením'). Priority support on PREMIUM. Source
