A Setmore alternative
for teams that are scaling up.
Setmore is a popular free-to-start booking tool for small businesses. If you are growing into team routing, want reminders on WhatsApp, or need prices in rupees, udaybooking covers the same booking basics and adds what a scaling team tends to need next.
Why people look
Keep the free start, grow the team.
Setmore is widely used by salons, service providers and solo operators because it starts free and gets a booking page live quickly. For a single calendar and a simple service list, that is often exactly enough.
People start looking for an alternative when they add staff and want new bookings shared round-robin across the team, when they want routing questions in front of a booking, or when their customers are on WhatsApp and bill in a currency Setmore does not default to.
This page compares udaybooking with Setmore honestly — where they match, where udaybooking goes further, and who should and shouldn't move. Setmore is a capable tool; the question is which one fits how your bookings work as you grow.

This reflects udaybooking's features and Setmore's generally available, publicly-documented behaviour as of October 2026. Setmore updates its plans regularly, and some features vary by tier — check setmore.com for current details before you decide. “On request” means a feature our team enables for your account rather than a self-serve toggle.
What you get
What a scaling team gets.
The booking basics you already rely on, plus the routing a team needs as it grows.
A booking page per service
Create a booking type for each service you offer, each with its own length, availability and questions, and share one link. Customers book themselves, no account needed.
Round-robin team booking
As you add staff, share new bookings evenly across the team with round-robin, or use collective booking for appointments that need more than one person — on the standard paid plan.
Reminders customers read
Confirmations and reminders go out by email, and on WhatsApp on request, each with a one-tap reschedule or cancel link, so fewer no-shows and gaps that free up early enough to fill.
Prices in your currency
udaybooking publishes prices in INR as well as USD, so an Indian business is quoted in rupees rather than converting a dollar figure in its head.
Who should switch
udaybooking is the better fit when…
You are adding staff
When one calendar becomes a team, you want new bookings shared fairly rather than piling onto whoever replies first. Round-robin and collective booking are on udaybooking's standard plan.
Your customers are on WhatsApp
udaybooking can send reminders on WhatsApp on request, which lands where your customers actually read — particularly in India, where it is often the default channel.
You want to be billed in rupees
udaybooking publishes prices in INR as well as USD, so what you are quoted matches what you plan in, without a mental conversion every month.
Who should stay
When Setmore is the right call.
An honest alternative tells you when not to move. Here is when staying put makes more sense.
You are a single calendar, happy as you are
If one person sharing one booking page is the whole job and Setmore's free plan already does it, a move may add features you will not use. Switch when it removes friction, not for its own sake.
You depend on a specific Setmore feature
If your setup relies on a particular Setmore integration, payment flow or customisation, confirm udaybooking covers it before moving. We would rather you verify the fit than discover a gap after switching.
Making the switch
Moving from Setmore is a short step.
You should not have to rebuild your services by hand to try something new. Tell us how your Setmore account is set up — your services, their durations and availability, and which staff take them — and we will help you recreate that on udaybooking so the move is guided rather than a from-scratch rebuild.
The lowest-risk way to switch is in parallel. Put one service on a udaybooking booking page, keep the rest on Setmore, and see how the booking page, the calendar sync and the reminders work for a week with real customers before you commit to moving everything.
When you are ready, book a short demo and we will connect your calendars, set up round-robin across your staff, and turn on the reminder channels your customers actually read — email, and WhatsApp on request — in a single call.
Trial one service on udaybooking while the rest stay on Setmore. No big-bang migration, and no bookings lost in the handover.
Try it before you move anything.
Start free and set up a booking link in minutes, or book a demo and we will recreate your services and get your team's round-robin routing in place in one call.

Is udaybooking a good Setmore alternative?
It is if you want the same free-to-start booking basics plus team round-robin on the standard plan, WhatsApp reminders on request, and prices in USD or INR. If a single free booking page is all you need, Setmore already does that well.
Does udaybooking have a free plan like Setmore?
Yes. One person can run a booking link free on udaybooking, with calendar sync and reminders included and no card to enter, and move to a paid plan only when a second host or a team feature is needed.
Can I take bookings for a team?
Yes. Team booking types rotate new meetings round-robin across available hosts, or use collective booking to offer only times when every listed host is free, on the standard paid plan.
Can customers get WhatsApp reminders?
udaybooking can send reminders on WhatsApp on request, alongside email. This is useful where WhatsApp is the channel customers actually check, as it often is in India.
Can I be billed in rupees?
Yes. udaybooking publishes prices in INR as well as USD. The plans are the same everywhere; only the billing currency differs, shown for your market on the pricing page.
How do I move my Setmore setup across?
Book a short demo and tell us how your services and staff are set up; we will recreate your booking types and availability and get team routing in place, so switching is guided rather than a rebuild.
