Starta.one
SimplyBook.me offers 77 plugins and flexible booking customization, but the plugin quota system means essential features cost extra and lower plans are severely limited. Starta.one includes all core features out of the box with an AI assistant that automates setup and daily operations.
SimplyBook.me is a feature-rich booking platform with 77 plugins and support for 35+ payment processors. However, lower-tier plans restrict you to just 1-8 active plugins, and many essential features (loyalty, CRM fields, intake forms) each consume a plugin slot.
Starta.one includes all core features in every plan, plus an AI assistant that handles setup, scheduling, and business analytics.
Starta.one Lite — free, unlimited bookings
Starta.one Pro — from €6.29/mo. Up to 5 employees included, +€1.99/mo per additional
Free plan (50 bookings/mo, 1 plugin, 1 provider). Paid from €11.90/mo (Basic: 100 bookings, 3 plugins) to €49.90/mo (Premium: 2,000 bookings, unlimited plugins)
SMS credits, custom domain (€119), and extra bookings are separate charges. Essential features consume plugin slots — Basic's 3 slots fill up fast.
SimplyBook.me's free plan allows just 50 bookings and 1 plugin. Most businesses need the Premium plan at €49.90/mo to unlock unlimited plugins. Starta.one Pro is from €6.29/mo with up to 5 employees included and all features without slots. Starta.one Lite is genuinely free with no booking limits.
Instead of evaluating and configuring 77 plugins, describe your business to Starta AI and it sets up everything automatically in minutes
Automated reminders, smart scheduling, client reactivation — all included, no SMS credit purchases or plugin slots needed
Performance analysis, growth recommendations, and proactive feature activation — not just voice-based appointment booking
SimplyBook.me's Basic plan allows only 3 active plugins — but payments, calendar sync, and intake forms each take a slot. The loyalty system alone consumes 4 slots. Starta.one includes everything without limits.
SimplyBook.me charges separately for SMS credits (~€8/100), WhatsApp credits, custom domain (€119), extra bookings (€4/100), and full setup assistance ($499+). Starta.one includes SMS reminders and unlimited bookings.
SimplyBook.me tracks bookings and payments but has no expense tracking, P&L reports, profit margins, or payroll management. Starta.one provides complete business financial tools.
Even SimplyBook.me's Premium plan at €49.90/mo caps you at 2,000 bookings/month. Going over means buying extra packs. Starta.one has no booking limits on any plan.
SimplyBook.me is a flexible platform with 77 plugins and good page customization. But its plugin quota system (3-8 on lower tiers) means even basic features — loyalty, calendar sync, intake forms — consume slots. Starta.one includes all core features without slots plus AI automation on every plan.
Starta.one Pro — from €6.29/mo with up to 5 employees included, +€1.99/mo per additional, no booking limits, no extra packs. Lite — free. SimplyBook.me: Free (50 bookings, 1 plugin), Basic from €11.90/mo (3 plugins), Premium €49.90/mo (unlimited plugins). SMS credits (~€8/100), custom domain (€119), and extra bookings (€4/100) all billed separately.
SimplyBook.me has only AI Voice Booking — a credit-based plugin for voice scheduling. Starta.one's AI is much broader: full system setup from a chat description, scheduling optimization, client analytics, business recommendations, inactive client reactivation — a complete AI workflow from setup to daily operations.
Export your client database from SimplyBook.me. The Starta AI assistant configures services, schedules, and your booking page in minutes — no need to evaluate and configure dozens of plugins.
