The self-hosted Setmore alternative

Slotly — Appointment & Booking System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted) — Self-hosted appointment booking engineered so it can't double-book.. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Setmore every month.

Stop renting Setmore

Setmore — rented
Free tier; Pro $5/user/month [1]
billed every month, forever · your data in their cloud
Slotly — Appointment & Booking System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted) — yours
$34.00
one-time · self-hosted · your data, your server
3 months of Setmore equals this one-time price.
Buy once

Assumption: Per-user; figure shown for 3 staff x $5 = $15/mo. Free tier exists; Slotly is one payment, unlimited staff (read 2026-07-22).

Why owning beats renting Setmore

  • One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
  • Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Setmore'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 — Appointment & Booking System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted) vs Setmore comparison.
