I was able to set up most of the system on my own thanks to its clear and user-friendly interface. Whenever I wasn’t sure about something, I could either use the built-in AI search tool—which pulls information directly from their materials—or contact live support. Both options were extremely helpful, and everything was successfully configured in the end. Ironically, the most challenging part of the setup was connecting the payment gateway, since Stripe’s process is quite confusing. However, that’s more of a Stripe issue than SimplyBook.me’s. We actually use SimplyBook.me for organizing a two-day event, not for running a business, and it still provides everything we need. It’s flexible, intuitive, and works perfectly for our purposes. Overall, SimplyBook.me has fully met my expectations, and the price-to-performance ratio is excellent. I can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use booking system. ----- ### "Simply breaking the mold in a world of cookie-cutter booking software" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *28 March 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The exceptionally high level of features and customization options, especially when compared to other booking options / software. > > **Cons**: Customization is something of a double-edged sword - the more you have, the more complicated things become. This felt compounded by the way things were organized, like having to go to multiple different sites depending on what you need to do. > > Overall it was a fantastic experience. I had tried several different booking softwares before coming across SimplyBook.me, and it was a breath of fresh air. ----- ### "Honest Review of Simplybook" — 1.0/5 > **Eku** | *13 March 2025* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I did not see any pros with SimplyBook.me > > **Cons**: The system could not handle volume at scale. It was not easy to use, and froze/glitched regularly. > > Terrible - This product while good intentioned, simply cannot handle execution at scale. This product should be limited to small vendors who only have a small number of people booking. For context, we were part of an event with 1600 participants all trying to book at the same time, and quite frankly the tool was ineffective, frustrating, and a terrible user experience. Many users can’t log in at all. When they do get in, events either don’t display or aren’t clickable. There were a number of glitches/freezes throughout the process, and if you refreshed, you lost any progress you made, preventing teams from securing a time. For a process that already comes with high demand and pressure, these technical issues make it unnecessarily frustrating. I personally experienced the system freezing on the confirmation screen multiple times, which meant I lost the time I was trying to book and had to start over, and did not end up with my first option. Others have had similar issues. ----- ### "Renewal time and we're staying" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *23 January 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've been using Simplybook.me for a year. Its time to renew and having checked out other booking sites, we will stay with them. They are slightly more expensive but offer so much more. Being a computer illiterate I regularly run into trouble when changing the site and services / prices we're offering but the real time chat is excellent. Not once have I been left hanging or without the solution I need. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately you have to use the live chat facility when making contact. No real person to speak to in person > > Its platform is pretty simple to use and after a while, everyday tasks become easy. It does the job. ----- Page: 1 / 53\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/140086/simplybook-me?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/140086/simplybook-me) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
