Schedulinq vs

Setmore is a free, simple appointment planner with a generous free tier. Schedulinq is Dutch-language and schedules on travel time: it only shows times that keep your day tight, whether you drive to customers or work from a fixed location. Below you'll read honestly what each tool does and doesn't do.

The real difference: free booking vs smart scheduling

Both tools let customers pick a time themselves. The difference is which times they get to see.

No algorithm

Setmore: every open gap

Anyone can book any open moment in your calendar. Setmore only checks whether you're free — not where your customer is or how far you'll drive.

The result: you bounce criss-cross across your service area — one appointment here, the next all the way across. Appointments only end up close together if you get lucky.

With an algorithm

Schedulinq: only what fits

Before a time becomes visible, Schedulinq factors in travel time. If an appointment doesn't fit logically between your other appointments that day, the algorithm hides that slot.

So the customer only picks from times that keep your route tight. Your appointments cluster in the same area by themselves — not by luck, but by an algorithm.

On the road, at a fixed location, or both

Schedulinq isn't just for people who hit the road. If you work from a fixed spot, it schedules that just as well — and you can combine the two. Per employee and per day, you set where the work happens.

  • At the customer's location — only times that keep your route tight that day
  • From a fixed location — salon, practice, studio or workshop
  • Or both — e.g. Mon–Wed at customers, Thu–Fri in the salon
