How much does Appointica cost?

A 30-day free trial, then team-size prices: Solo £17/month, Salon £35/month for 2–3 staff, Unlimited £49/month from 4+ — all 12 tools on every plan ([see all features](/features)). The price is published on our website — no custom quote, no sales call required.

What fees does Appointica charge?

One monthly subscription by team size — Solo, Salon (2–3), or Unlimited (4+). Same tools on every plan. No marketplace commission on bookings. When clients pay by card, Stripe charges their processing fee and Appointica adds a 0.5% platform fee — stated clearly upfront.

Who built Appointica?

I'm self-employed — do I need the salon plan?

No. Solo £17/month — full toolkit for one person, including your website and booking link ([see all features](/features)). No marketplace cut on direct bookings. Team of 2–3? Salon £35/month. From 4+ staff? Unlimited £49 — same tools ([see all features](/features)).

Have you checked what booking software actually charges for extra features?
