Free includes unlimited appointments and payments. Two-way calendar sync, SMS reminders, recurring appointments and branding removal need Pro. So a 5-person clinic that needs calendar sync and SMS pays $300 a year on Setmore Pro billed yearly, or $720 billed monthly. NeetoCal includes calendar sync, recurring meetings and SMS reminders free, for unlimited team members. That same team pays $150 a year only if it wants to remove NeetoCal branding.

All of those are on the free plan, with unlimited scheduling links and bookings ([NeetoCal pricing](https://www.neeto.com/neetocal/pricing)). [Recurring meetings](https://www.neeto.com/neetocal/features/recurring-meetings) let a client book up to 25 sessions at once. [SMS reminders](https://www.neeto.com/neetocal/features/sms-reminders) run through your own Twilio or Telnyx account, so you pay that provider per text. The only paid option removes NeetoCal branding and adds custom CSS, at $5 per user per month or $30 per user per year. NeetoCal has no phone receptionist and makes no HIPAA claim, so practices that need a BAA should pick a tool that signs one. ## What a team really pays: Setmore cost example Say you run a physiotherapy clinic with 5 team members who take bookings. You need calendar sync and SMS reminders, so Free will not work. You also have one more user than Free allows. | Team size | Setmore Pro, yearly | Setmore Pro, monthly | NeetoCal | NeetoCal without branding, yearly | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 user | $60 a year | $144 a year | $0 | $30 a year | | 5 users | $300 a year | $720 a year | $0 | $150 a year | | 10 users | $600 a year | $1,440 a year | $0 | $300 a year | On Setmore, yearly billing matters a lot: monthly costs more than twice as much per user. Add the Live Receptionist and a 5-person team on yearly Pro pays $300 plus $1,188 a year. ## What Setmore Free includes, and what Pro adds Setmore Free is generous for very small teams. You get up to 4 users, unlimited appointments, a booking page, a mobile app, email reminders and online and in-person payments. Google Analytics, Mailchimp, HubSpot and Zapier integrations work on Free, and 24/7 human support is on every plan. The gaps show up fast. Free has no calendar sync, so personal events will not block your Setmore availability. There are no SMS reminders, no recurring appointments, no deposits, and Setmore branding stays on your booking page. According to Setmore's [Pro help article](https://support.setmore.com/en/articles/4475815-setmore-pro-team), Pro adds text reminders, Zoom and Google Meet video meetings, recurring appointments and classes, two-way sync with Google or Outlook, Google review requests, branding removal and the option to block specific customers. You also get unlimited users, deposits, custom availability per service, API access and priority support. One rule to know: Setmore counts every team member's calendar as a user, even if that person never logs in. A calendar for a room or a part-time team member is a paid seat on Pro, so count every calendar clients can book. ## When is Setmore Pro worth paying for? - You need a signed HIPAA BAA for a healthcare practice. - You want Setmore's 24/7 phone support, setup help or the Live Receptionist. - Your team already uses Setmore and switching costs more than the subscription. - You can pay yearly, which brings Pro down to $5 per user per month. Pro is harder to justify if your main reasons are calendar sync, SMS reminders and recurring bookings, since free tools include them. ## FAQ ### Is Setmore really free? Yes.
