Appointment Reminder App vs Setmore
Setmore offers free booking for up to 4 users with email reminders; Pro at $5 per user a month (annual) or $12 monthly adds SMS reminders with 500 credits a month, two-way calendar sync, video appointments and an API. A human Live Receptionist add-on costs $99 a month (as of October 2026; check with the vendor).
