Why Global Businesses Choose Shareduled

The key advantages that make Shareduled the preferred choice for service businesses worldwide.

Unlike competitors focused on meetings or limited industries, we deliver the complete UBER experience - find availability instantly, book with one click, pay automatically, get real-time confirmations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it really cost to join Shareduled?

Joining is completely free. There are no monthly subscriptions. You only pay our small transaction fee (4.5%) when customers book and pay.

Can I keep my existing booking URL?

While it will be nice to keep your existing URL, switching to Shareduled will give you an upgraded customized URL, completely new, and will most likely work better due to Shareduled's unique and business-first features.

What if I'm locked into a contract with my current provider?

You can run Shareduled alongside your existing platform during your contract period. Many businesses find the real-time features so valuable they switch immediately despite contract obligations.

How does the 4.5% fee compare to other platforms?

Most platforms charge monthly fees PLUS transaction fees. Booksy charges $24/month + 2.4%, Acuity charges $14-50/month, and Mindbody charges $129+/month. With Shareduled, you save the monthly fees entirely.

Will my clients need to download a new app?

While it is not compulsory because users can book through a booking link, we highly recommend the convenience of an app, they should download the Shareduled app because it gives them avenues to do more actions like reschudling and cancelling appointments, rating your appointments and services, booking in 5 clicks or less, seeing Shareduled points that they've earned among other benefits.

How fast is the real-time sync?

Availability updates happen instantly across all devices and platforms. When an appointment is booked, it immediately shows as unavailable everywhere - no more double bookings.

What if Shareduled doesn't work for my business?

Since there's no monthly fee, you can try Shareduled risk-free. If it doesn't work for your business model, you can export your data and return to your previous platform at any time.
