Questions
How much does an online booking system cost in South Africa?
Allsorts Bookings is R89 a month for one staff calendar, R179 for up to five, and R349 for unlimited staff plus a custom domain. Billed in Rand, so the amount does not move with the exchange rate. Every account starts with a 14-day free trial and no card is required.
What is the best booking system for a South African small business?
The practical test is whether it can take a deposit locally and bill you in Rand. Calendly, Fresha and SimplyBook.me are all capable products but price in dollars or euros and route payments through Stripe, which most South African small businesses cannot use for a deposit. Allsorts Bookings takes deposits through your own PayFast account or by EFT, so the money reaches your bank directly.
Is there a free online booking system?
There is a 14-day free trial here with every feature on and no card required, after which the lowest plan is R89 a month. Permanently free tools exist, but they generally cap bookings, place their own branding on your page, or withdraw the free tier later — none of which is worth the risk to a booking page your clients rely on.
Can clients pay a deposit when they book?
Yes. Any service can be set to require a deposit or full payment before the slot is confirmed, taken through your own PayFast account or by EFT. The money goes to you, not to us.
Is it POPIA compliant?
Yes. Clients consent when they book, their data is held for your business alone, you can export or delete a client's record on request, and nothing is sold or shared.
