A SimplyBook.me Alternative That Builds Your Booking & Quoting Forms With AI
ClickoBook replaces SimplyBook.me for service businesses: AI-generated booking & quoting forms, smart auto-rescheduling with credit fallback, per-staff time slots — at flat pricing with 0% commission.
Why professionals move from SimplyBook.me to ClickoBook
SimplyBook.me is a capable booking system — but its add-on pricing and setup overhead push many small and growing teams to look for a simpler, more complete alternative.
Add-on costs add up
SMS, custom domains and many capabilities are sold as extra features on top of the base plan — your bill grows as you add what you actually need.
Setup takes too long
Building the right intake or quoting form is manual and technical. Many teams spend hours just to get a workable booking flow.
Complexity for the whole team
A long feature list does not equal an easy daily workflow. Teams want reminders, payments and availability that simply work.
SimplyBook.me vs ClickoBook at a glance
An honest comparison of the capabilities that matter most to service businesses.
| Capability | SimplyBook.me | Clickobook |
|---|---|---|
| AI-generated booking & quoting forms Unique to ClickoBook | AI Voice Booking (voice booking) — but not generative booking/quoting forms from a text description | Describe a service in plain language; our AI builds a complete booking or quote form with dynamic pricing & conditional logic |
| Recurring bookings & memberships Unique to ClickoBook | Recurring/membership available on paid plans | Recurring with smart auto-reschedule + credit fallback when a slot is no longer available |
| Per-staff time slots Unique to ClickoBook | Standard per-service timing | Per-service AND per-staff duration overhead — each team member gets the time they need for the same service |
| Deposits & partial payment Included | Deposits offered as a paid capability | Deposits/partial payment included, plus a full-payment discount and balance tracking |
| Custom domain & white-label Parity | Available on paid plans | Available on the relevant paid plans |
| Payments 0% commission | Provider-based (Stripe, PayPal, Square, etc.) | Stripe + PayPal + cash at venue, 0% commission on top |
SMS reminders and accounting sync (e.g. Xero) connect through the provider account you bring — Twilio or Xero — so you keep the service you already trust. See the full, code-verified list in our features overview.
Capabilities SimplyBook.me does not offer
Three things genuinely set ClickoBook apart — and they are the reasons teams stay.
AI-generated booking & quoting forms
Describe a service in plain language. The AI builds the intake questions, options and dynamic pricing — and publishes them as a working form for your customers to book or get a live quote.
See the AI form generatorSmart auto-rescheduling & credit fallback
Recurring bookings generate the next session automatically. If a future slot becomes occupied, ClickoBook tries to reschedule on the same staff — and if there is no room, issues a credit so the value is never lost.
Per-service AND per-staff time slots
Give every team member their own time overhead for the same service. A senior or faster provider wraps up sooner; a slower one gets the time they need — with buffers built in.
What switching from SimplyBook.me felt like
Real-world feedback from businesses that made the change.
"We ran a barbershop on SimplyBook for two years. The move to ClickoBook took one afternoon — I imported my clients, and the AI built our entire intake form in about a minute. No more paying for SMS as an extra; it is just there."
Marco D.
Barbershop owner, single location
"My physio clinic lives on recurring appointments. With SimplyBook we scripted every reschedule by hand whenever a slot disappeared. Now ClickoBook moves the session itself and, if there is no room, the client gets a credit automatically. That alone is worth switching for."
Dr. Alina S.
Physiotherapy clinic, 4 practitioners
"I looked at ten booking tools before choosing ClickoBook over SimplyBook. The deciding factor was quoting: my auto-repair customers answer a few questions and get a live price. I honestly did not believe an AI could build that form until I tried it."
Victor P.
Auto repair & detailing

SimplyBook.me alternative — frequently asked questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us.
Mostly pricing and complexity. SimplyBook.me charges for many capabilities as add-on "custom features" (SMS, domains, custom features) and adds to your bill as you grow. Some teams also find the interface dated and unwieldy for everyday use. ClickoBook bundles the everyday essentials and adds unique capabilities like AI-generated booking and quoting forms, so you do not pay per feature just to run your business.
ClickoBook uses flat per-business pricing and does not charge per seat, add-on SMS or custom-domain fees. We also take 0% commission on tenant payments — you only pay your own Stripe/PayPal processor fees. For most small and mid-sized teams this works out cheaper than SimplyBook.me's per-feature pricing, especially once SMS, deposits and a custom domain are included on the plan.
Yes. ClickoBook supports customer CSV import/export and booking export, so you can bring your customer list and history over. Your clients can then book, reschedule and cancel through their own portal, and you keep full control of your cancellation policy.
It is our signature feature. Describe a service in plain language and the AI builds a complete booking or quoting form with the right intake questions, options and dynamic pricing logic — including conditional questions that only appear when relevant. This is something SimplyBook.me does not offer in the same way.
Yes. ClickoBook supports recurring bookings and customer subscriptions on Stripe and PayPal. What makes us different is smart auto-rescheduling: when a future slot becomes occupied, the system tries to reschedule automatically, and if no slot is available it issues a credit — so your customer's paid value is never lost.
Yes. On the relevant plans you get a custom domain with SSL and can remove the platform branding (white-label), so the booking experience looks like your own business.
Yes. ClickoBook exposes four signed webhook events (booking created, cancelled, rescheduled and completed) plus a REST API. You can connect these to Zapier, n8n, Make or your own application to push bookings into a CRM, accounting or marketing tool.
