GetSetTime

GetSetTime is a web-based scheduling service for appointment-led businesses, from solo providers to multi-location teams. It suits organizations that need customer self-booking alongside staff and resource coordination. The range is strong, but booking caps and seat counts make plan choice consequential.

Overview

Customers book through a public page by choosing a service, provider, date, and time. Businesses can shape availability, add buffers and capacity limits, and set rescheduling and cancellation flows. That makes it a better fit for operations with defined appointment rules than for anyone seeking only a basic shared calendar.

Key features

Bookings and follow-up

Automated confirmations, reminders, reschedule links, and follow-ups can go by WhatsApp and email. Online payments and recurring lessons are supported, making the product relevant to providers who take payment or schedule repeat sessions. Basic email notifications on the lower plans are narrower than Professional’s WhatsApp and email reminders.

Calendar and team operations

Two-way Google Calendar updates help synchronize schedules. Staff calendars, roles, working hours, leave, rooms, resources, and service assignments support businesses coordinating people and shared spaces. The homepage also displays Zoom, Microsoft, Slack, Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Teams as supported operational tools.

Analytics and support

Analytics cover booking volume, revenue trends, no-shows, reminder delivery, staff utilization, and service demand. That breadth can help managers see both appointment outcomes and capacity use. Support descriptions range from 24/7 chat with typical replies within two minutes to a usual contact-page response within 24 hours; Enterprise adds 24/7 phone support.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes one seat, a public booking page, email notifications, community support, and 50 monthly bookings in the plan comparison. Starter costs $999 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST; it keeps one seat and raises the cap to 250 bookings, adding basic Google Calendar integration and basic reporting. These plans suit low-volume operations, but the booking ceiling can make growth require an upgrade.

Professional costs $1,499 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST. Its two seats and unlimited bookings come with advanced calendar sync, WhatsApp and email reminders, custom branding, payment processing, staff management, advanced analytics, API access, and priority support. It is the most complete fit for a growing team, though two seats may be restrictive where several providers need accounts.

Enterprise costs $2,999 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST. Five seats and unlimited bookings are joined by multi-location support, advanced roles, SSO, custom integrations, a dedicated account manager, 24/7 phone support, and an SLA guarantee. It targets larger operations that need administrative controls and service commitments. Annual billing saves 10% on Professional and Enterprise. An extra provider seat is $799 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST, prorated when added mid-cycle, and available on all plans. A free trial is offered.

Platforms

GetSetTime runs on the web as a cloud service that can be managed from a device without installation.

Who it's for

Clinics, salons, consultants, real estate businesses, fitness providers, agencies, and tutors are among its intended customers. It is a sensible choice when online booking must connect to staff schedules, reminders, or operational reporting. Solo users with modest booking volume can start free; teams should compare seat needs as carefully as booking limits.

Pros and cons

Pros: Customer self-booking includes controls for availability, capacity, buffers, and appointment changes, so businesses can apply operating rules rather than simply expose open time.

Pros: Staff and resource management plus two-way Google Calendar sync can suit operations where appointments depend on shared calendars, rooms, or equipment.

Pros: Professional combines unlimited bookings with reminders, payments, staff management, and advanced analytics.

Cons: Free and Starter cap monthly bookings at 50 and 250 respectively, which may force a plan change as demand grows.

Cons: Starter and Professional include one and two seats respectively; extra seats cost $799 a month plus 18% GST, so a larger team can raise the bill quickly.

Verdict

Choose GetSetTime if your appointment business needs customer-led booking tied to staff or resource management, with reminders and analytics in the same service. Its strongest case is the breadth from booking rules through team operations; look elsewhere if you need more seats without a substantial per-seat charge or expect to outgrow the lower plans’ booking caps.
