TeamUp by DaySmart vs. YouCanBookMe

It's great for regular, recurring signups, which would be ideal for a gym or similar organization that holds classes that customers need to sign up for. For our weekly Berkeley swims, it's perfect. Customers can pay per class, buy a "10 swim pack," or buy an annual pass. They can set it to automatically register for a certain class that happens every week, or they can just sign up individually. We set the coach for each session, which allows our staff the functionality they need, and allows customers to see who from our staff will be there. We also host large events that often have 100+ participants, including the Alcatraz Swim. If we were just doing these events we would probably be looking for another registration program that people are more familiar with. However, using TeamUp for both has worked fine.

YouCanBook.Me has made it really easy to schedule calls with applicants and with team members scattered across the world. We use it a lot to schedule follow up calls with potential leads from conferences and other recruiting events, which has been really key in converting leads from those events, and we direct applicants for our internship and staff positions to YouCanBook.Me to schedule interviews. We also use it to schedule calls with team members internationally. It is most useful for scheduling a call between two participants.

• Simplified customer signups.
• Customer service when we have unique problems.
• Makes it easy to accept payments.

• Allows a prospect flexibility in choosing a time to meet
• Saves me a lot of time with followup phone calls to book a spot
• I can choose the times I am available for each day
• If I block off time in my Outlook calendar, it blocks it off in YouCanBook.Me as well, so if there is a one-off time I cannot meet, I can just block it in my calendar instead of going into my YouCanBook.Me account

• More help with the initial setup.

• We loved the old version of youcanbook.me. Once they updated the site and functionality, we hated it. We kept reverting back to the old version, but now we cannot use the old version anymore. The new version has made it much slower to set up a new profile and fill in all of the reminders.
• If they made it faster to populate a new profile by limiting repetition, that'd be awesome. We have to edit the titles of calendar events, emails to us, emails to participants, etc.
• Working with Google calendar is sometimes frustrating, but they've recently updated it to make it easier for us to duplicate calendar events. Youcanbook.me syncs with Google calendar, so making all of the calendar events set to "Free" (previously, "Available") is pretty annoying.

TeamUp is more user-friendly overall than Basecamp and more affordable. It has just the right features to stay organized and on top of things without complicated features that can overwhelm an employee.

Youcanbook.me is a pretty unique service, but some others have come up since we started using it in 2015. There´s some competition like simply book or roomzilla, but he haven´t considered them because they aren't as cost-effective or simply haven't found a need to do it yet. Folk at youcanbookme have given us great user support and have many benefits for the educational sector, which make it hard for competition because we are pretty happy with their service :)

• Saved time which means saved money!
• More time to focus on important projects and less on logistical issues.

• This has saved me untold hours of telephone tag and email wars by allowing people to self-serve. Time is the most valuable commodity.
• The reminder system also saves time.
• The best is that, once it's set up, it doesn't require regular maintenance unless my products or meeting types change.
