The self-hosted Booksy alternative
Slotly — Self-hosted appointment booking engineered so it can't double-book. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Booksy every month.
Stop renting Booksy
4 months of Booksy equals this one-time price.
Assumption: The single-provider subscription; every additional team member is another $20 a month on top, so a four-person salon pays $89.99 before tax. Slotly is one payment for any number of staff.
How Booksy pricing grows with you
Booksy meters by TEAM MEMBER: $29.99 for the first, $20 a month for each one after, forever.

What Booksy does that we don't
Booksy is a consumer marketplace as well as a booking tool — clients find and book businesses inside the Booksy app.

Who should stay with Booksy
Stay with Booksy if the marketplace matters — new clients discovering you inside their app — or you want payments and no-show protection handled by the vendor. Slotly is booking on your own website and server; nobody discovers you through it, and it processes no payments. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Booksy
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Booksy's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Slotly vs Booksy comparison.
