Remindlo vs SMS Client Reminders

Remindlo sends SMS reminders before booked visits and when a service is due again. It is aimed at owner-run and small-team service businesses with returning customers, including garages, dental practices, salons, vets, and trades. After visits, it can send thank-you notes, review requests, and win-back messages. Remindlo connects to Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud, turning bookings into contacts with reminders; it can also scan a photo of a paper diary to extract names, dates, and phone numbers. An AI model reads names from calendar entries and leaves the name blank when it cannot identify one. Customers can confirm or reschedule by text, and opt-outs are removed automatically. Integrations listed include Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity Scheduling, Square Appointments, Google Sheets, Zapier, and Claude AI. Its REST API supports contacts and campaigns, while webhooks report delivery with signed payloads and automatic retries. The free plan includes 10 SMS monthly and limited email sending. Starter costs £19.00 per month and includes 75 SMS monthly, unlimited emails, the SMS Message API, basic analytics, and email support. Free-plan users cannot buy SMS top-ups.

SMS Client Reminders is a web service that sends appointment and event reminders by text and email. Appointments can be entered manually, connected from an online calendar, or uploaded as CSV. Listed calendar integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook with Exchange Server, Office 365, Outlook.com, iCloud, Teamup, Zoho, Teamweek, and Yahoo Calendar; scheduling systems using iCalendar (iCal/ICS) can also connect. Users can configure one, two, or three reminders before an appointment, plus confirmation, follow-up, and cancellation messages. Client groups let one appointment notify multiple people, and two-way SMS is supported. Plans include SMS credits, free email reminders, a dedicated sending number, and linked calendars. Starter costs $9.99 a month for 50 credits and five calendars. Pay As You Go costs $10 for 50 non-expiring credits, though availability varies by country. Monthly plans extend through Pro 30000 at $999.99 a month. New accounts receive a 28-day trial with 30 credits, no card, and no subscription obligation. The company focuses on small and medium-sized businesses.
