Research

Every review, comparison and shortlist on this site is built from one evidence sheet per app. Each sheet holds what the vendor's own pricing pages, terms and help docs say, quoted and dated, plus clearly labelled third-party ratings. Here's what's on file.

Booking software pricing tracker

Our pricing tracker puts every app's entry price, what it covers, its published card fees and the date we checked it in one table, with a source link on every row and a free CSV download.

"Sources" counts the distinct web pages cited in each app's notes: the vendor's own pages, app-store listings and review sites. Updated November 6, 2026.

What the evidence shows so far

Among the 22 apps we track, Arketa, Glofox, Mindbody and Momence keep some or all of their plan prices behind a quote or sales call. Other apps publish an entry price, though some still quote their top tiers; each review says which. See every starting price, with its source and check date, on our pricing page.
