We did the homework. Here it is.
Side-by-side comparisons with the booking tools you've probably tested. We're confident about where we win — and honest about where we don't.
tilkbook vs Acuity Scheduling
Pick tilkbook if: Genuinely free tier with no time limit and no credit card — Acuity requires a paid plan after the trial
tilkbook vs Cal.com
Pick tilkbook if: No-show and late-cancellation fees charged off-session via Stripe — Cal.com has no native no-show fee mechanism
tilkbook vs Calendly
Pick tilkbook if: Genuinely free booking with no per-booking cap and no single-event-type limit
tilkbook vs Setmore
Pick tilkbook if: No subscription tiers in the booking product — everything is genuinely free with no artificial seat caps
tilkbook vs Square Appointments
Pick tilkbook if: No payment-processor lock-in: Square Appointments requires Square Payments, while tilkbook uses Stripe as an optional add-on, or takes no online payment at all (pay-on-site)
tilkbook vs Squarespace Scheduling
Pick tilkbook if: Genuinely free tier with no time limit and no credit card, where Squarespace Scheduling has no permanent free scheduling tier
