    BookSteam
    BookSteam is suited pretty much for any business that takes appointments. It's perfect for businesses who don't want the hassle of phone scheduling, rescheduling, calling people back and talking to the answering machine. Everything is automated and done online. I believe they even offer class scheduling, so that is also perfect for businesses who need group scheduling.

    I never had to reach out for any help with the system, there was really good information on how to use Genbook. Any time a new feature was out, the how-to video was right there with it. I hate that Genbook merged with Booksy, I've had nothing but issues with Booksy, There's no customer service at all, on any forms of communication if you need help with Booksy.

    Pros

    Genbook
    • Manufactured time for my more essential job duties as owner
    • It requires a credit card for all scheduling. Takes away the whole ask awkwardness.
    • Sifts out the not so serious purveyors of massage and keeps those that are.
    • Provides gift certificate purchase in increments or whole amounts. Saves me time.

    AcuBase Pro is my practice management software. The only overlap for me is that they both function as customer databases. I would love to see integration between the software in the calendars.

    • Save me money. I do not need to hire a receptionist. People book directly online often without ever speaking with me.
    • People can book at all hours of day or night.
