Booking software that puts you in control.

Yes. Free has no monthly subscription. Listing your business, publishing your services and hours, running your calendar and client list, and taking calls through the tracked “Call to book” button all cost nothing. Online bookings carry a Book’d Out booking fee of 1.5% + 30c of the booked price, per online booking. When your customers pay online you can pass that fee to them as a customer booking fee, so the Book’d Out booking cost to your business can stay at $0, or you can absorb it and give your customers a fee-free booking experience. No separate billing card required when fees are deducted from online customer payments. If you take no payments online, you add a billing card and we invoice once a month instead. Bookings you enter yourself are always free.

Book’d Out takes 0% commission from your appointment revenue, on any plan. On Free, the 1.5% + 30c customer booking fee is usually added to what your customer pays online, not taken from your takings; absorb it instead and you pay that fee yourself. There is no Book’d Out per-booking fee on Bookings Plus or Bookings Pro at all. We make money from optional monthly plans and add-ons, not a cut of what you charge.

No. There is no Book’d Out per-booking fee on Bookings Plus or Bookings Pro, however many bookings you take. You pay the flat monthly price and nothing else to Book’d Out. Every paid plan includes a team allowance; beyond it, it’s $10 per month for each extra location or team member.

Yes. On Bookings Plus and Bookings Pro your customers book with no booking fee at all. On Free you choose: pass the booking fee to the customer at online checkout, or absorb it yourself so they see the service price and nothing more.

Yes. Booking Fee Control lets a business on Bookings Plus or Bookings Pro apply a customer booking fee at online checkout that is retained by your business, at the same rate as Free: 1.5% + 30c of the booked price, per online booking. Use it to help offset your software costs, or switch it off entirely and give your customers a completely fee-free booking experience.

No. Online payments are processed by Stripe, and Stripe’s standard payment-processing fees are separate and deducted before the money reaches your account. Book’d Out takes no cut of them. See stripe.com/pricing for current rates. All Book’d Out prices are in Australian dollars and GST inclusive.

Yes. Paid plans are month to month with no lock-in contract and no minimum term. You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel yourself from your plan and billing page, your plan runs to the end of the period you have already paid for, and your free listing stays live for as long as you want it.

No. There is no new-client fee and no commission on a first appointment, on any plan. When someone finds you on Book’d Out and books, what they pay for their appointment is yours.

Switching on online booking costs nothing a month. No separate billing card required when fees are deducted from online customer payments. It adds real-time online booking, automated SMS reminders, deposits and no-show protection, and consultation forms you send manually, for a Book’d Out booking fee of 1.5% + 30c of the booked price, per online booking. The booking fee is added to what the customer pays when they pay online at the time of booking, so you are only out of pocket if you have customer payments turned off. Bookings Plus (from $19 a month) removes the per-booking fee entirely and adds the day-to-day toolkit; Bookings Pro ($49/mo) adds growth and team features, and the AI receptionist (coming soon) is a $49 a month add-on you can cancel any time. The comparison table above lists every feature at each level. Nothing moves when you upgrade: your listing, calendar, clients and history stay exactly where they are, and you can move back down or cancel whenever you like.

Several marketplaces charge a fee every time a new client books you through them. Fresha’s Australian pricing page at fresha.com/pricing publishes a marketplace new-client fee of a 20% one-time commission on a brand-new marketplace client, minimum A$8. Booksy’s optional Boost promotion takes a one-time 30% of the total cost of a first visit. Timely prices per staff member, at A$42 on Build, A$53 on Elevate or A$65 on Innovate, exc GST. Book’d Out charges none of these: on Free the only charge is the 1.5% + 30c customer booking fee on online bookings, which your customer can cover, and every paid plan is $0 per booking with 0% commission on your revenue. Fresha figures read from an Australian session on 16 September 2026; other details correct as at 16 September 2026; check each provider’s site for current terms.

If we already list your business, tap “Claim your listing” and verify ownership with a one-time code sent to your Google business phone number. If you’re not listed yet, tap “List your business free” and we’ll pre-fill your details from your Google listing, and most owners are live in under two minutes.

Every time a customer taps to call from your free listing, we record it. You get a simple count of real booking demand each month: proof of how many customers your listing is sending you, and exactly when it’s worth upgrading to capture every one online.

Deposits and no-show protection come with online booking, so they are included on Free the moment you switch it on, and on Bookings Plus and Bookings Pro. You can hold a card or take a deposit at the time of booking, and a missed appointment no longer means lost income. Automated email reminders are included on every plan at no extra cost, and text reminders arrive with online booking, so fewer clients simply forget. Bookings Plus also includes we-miss-you and last-minute-gap automations that help you refill slots that do open up.
