Starta.one
SimplyBook.me offers 77 plugins, but you can only switch on so many per plan — and even with all of them on, you still run the client conversation. In Starta.one, StartaAI takes that work on, with no quotas and no add-on fees.
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 takes the client admin work off you — StartaAI does it, and it isn't a plugin you have to switch on. In SimplyBook.me flexibility is instead issued by quota: 3 plugins on Free, 8 on Standard.
77 plugins sounds like freedom. Look at the "Plugins & quotas" row: the question isn't whether a feature exists, it's how many you can switch on at once.

Reminders, loyalty, custom fields, forms — each is a separate plugin, and each plan allows a limited number: Free 3, Basic 5, Standard 8. So the more that's distinctive about your business, the higher the plan you need. In Starta.one every core feature is in the plan, with no quotas.
Every plugin has to be found, switched on, configured, and then you have to remember which slot is taken by what. That's the very work you wanted to get rid of. In Starta.one you describe the business in words and the assistant composes the setup from ready-made blocks.
In SimplyBook.me reminders and loyalty eat slots in your quota, and answering clients still falls to a person. StartaAI answers, books, reminds and wins back the ones who drifted off — and it doesn't consume a single slot.
StartaAI handles the clients. That leaves you running the business — also by conversation.
A traditional system hands you tools and leaves the work with you.
SimplyBook.me makes those tools flexible but issues them in portions: 77 plugins exist, and you can switch on 3, 5 or 8 depending on your plan — while you still run the client conversation yourself. Starta.one takes the client admin work on itself: StartaAI does it, with no quotas and no add-on fees.
Starta.one is assembled from blocks — services, staff, slots, payments, packages, equipment rental, group classes, walk-ins. The assistant composes your configuration from them in a conversation, so most "non-standard" setups come together right away. If a block doesn't exist, you'll hear that straight, not "someday". Message us in the chat before you sign up and we'll tell you whether it already works.
