CalMov vs Seglo

CalMov is web-based booking software for mobile service businesses that accounts for travel between appointments. On Lite, businesses set a fixed travel gap themselves. Pro checks roads and expected traffic around a proposed appointment, then checks the journey again before confirmation. It can also calculate travel charges using distance or journey-time brackets for the one-way trip from the business base. Businesses can configure service distance, working hours, breaks, time off, booking notice and appointment start intervals. Reusable profiles can store details about a person, pet or vehicle; customers can retrieve saved profiles by email without an account or password. CalMov connects to Google Calendar to display confirmed bookings and consider busy time when checking availability. Booking pages can be linked or embedded on a business website, and payments use Stripe, subject to plan and location. Lite is free for one person and up to two services; unlimited services are available for $6/mo. Pro is $29 a month at the Founder price, with a stated standard price of $39. Team is listed at $49 a month at the Founder price, marked coming soon. During the founder launch, accounts support one person taking bookings.
