VERDICT

Should I use Bookeo?

Booking software for appointments, tours, and classes - bookeo.com

Worth it. Buy if you run a booking-heavy small business — tours, escape rooms, salons, clinics — since it starts at $9/month with no commissions. Skip it if you only need simple 1:1 calendar booking, a free plan, or enterprise-grade admin controls.
