Starta.one
SimplyBook.me offers 77 plugins and flexible customisation, but the plugin quota system means basic features like reminders and loyalty use up your plan's slots fast. With Starta.one, clients write on Telegram: 'book me a haircut for Friday' — AI confirms the booking without forms or quotas.
SimplyBook.me is a flexible booking platform supporting any industry with 77 plugins. But the plugin quota system complicates cost planning: basic functions (loyalty, reminders, custom fields) are separate plugins that drain your quota quickly. No AI assistant, Telegram bot, or full P&L.
Starta.one is a complete beauty business management platform with a built-in AI assistant, Telegram bot for clients, loyalty program, and full P&L — with no feature quotas whatsoever.

Starta.one Lite — free, unlimited bookings
Starta.one Pro — from €6.29/mo for one specialist or €10.79/mo for up to 5 staff (annual billing), +€1.26/mo per additional
Free (50 bookings/mo, 3 plugins), Basic €9.9/mo (100 bookings, 5 plugins), Standard €29.9/mo (500 bookings, 8 plugins), Premium €59.9/mo (2,000 bookings, unlimited plugins)
Real cost is higher: most useful features (loyalty, reminders, custom fields) are separate plugins that quickly exhaust plan quotas.
SimplyBook.me Standard at €29.9/mo is needed to get 8 plugins for basic functionality. Starta.one Lite is genuinely free with no limits, Pro from €6.29/mo for one specialist or €10.79/mo for up to 5 staff — with AI, Telegram bot and all features quota-free.
It sees who hasn't visited in months and reaches out first — with a relevant offer. SimplyBook.me sends reminders via plugin but doesn't initiate new bookings.
Starta.one's AI analyses your business weekly: where revenue dipped, which slot is underutilised, which clients are about to churn. SimplyBook.me provides booking-level reports without AI analysis.
SimplyBook.me uses a classic online booking form. Starta.one adds a Telegram bot: clients book where they already communicate. Conversion: 70% versus 22%.
Send any request to the chat — AI executes it in seconds. Like Telegram, except your business listens.
