Grix runs in a phone browser and can be added to the home screen. Its free plan supports up to 10 active clients and two booking links; Plus allows 25 active clients, and Pro has unlimited clients. Paid plans are listed from €7.99/mo, while the plan details also list yearly amounts of 6.39 EUR for Plus and 15.99 EUR for Pro.
