Square Appointments Alternative
Professional scheduling without the Square ecosystem lock-in.
Square Appointments is attractive because it's free for individuals and integrates seamlessly with Square's payment ecosystem. However, that tight integration becomes a limitation if you want to use Stripe, PayPal, or another payment processor. SchedulingKit offers the same appointment booking capabilities while letting you choose your preferred payment solution.
