GetSetTime

GetSetTime is web-based appointment scheduling software for service businesses and tutors. It suits operators who need customer self-booking alongside staff and resource coordination. Its broad scheduling toolkit is strongest on Professional; the lower-cost plans cap bookings and keep team capacity to one seat.

Overview

Customers book through a public page by choosing a service, provider, date, and time. Businesses can shape availability with rules, buffers, and capacity settings, and let customers reschedule or cancel through defined flows. Support for recurring lessons and online payments also makes it relevant to tutoring and other repeat-appointment services.

Key features

Reminders and calendars

Automated confirmations, reminders, reschedule links, and follow-ups can go by WhatsApp and email. That gives appointment-heavy businesses ways to reduce manual follow-up, though these channels are included on Professional rather than the cheaper plans. Two-way Google Calendar synchronization helps keep schedules aligned. The product also presents Zoom, Microsoft, Slack, Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Teams as supported operational tools.

Team operations and reporting

Staff calendars, roles, working hours, leave days, rooms, resources, and service assignments are managed in the product. That breadth matters to clinics, salons, agencies, and other teams sharing people or spaces; a solo provider may not need it. Analytics cover booking volume, revenue trends, no-shows, reminder delivery, staff utilization, and service demand, giving managers several operational measures to follow.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes one seat, 50 bookings per month, a public booking page, email notifications, and community support. It offers a way to start with self-booking, but its monthly cap and single seat make it a limited fit for a growing practice.

Starter costs $999 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST. It allows one seat and 250 bookings per month, with basic Google Calendar integration, email notifications, basic reporting, and community support. It suits a solo operator whose volume exceeds the Free allowance but who does not need WhatsApp reminders or team tools.

Professional costs $1,499 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST, and includes two seats and unlimited bookings. Advanced calendar sync, WhatsApp and email reminders, custom branding, payment processing, staff management, advanced analytics, API access, and priority support make it the clearest choice for a small team that needs more than booking capture. Annual billing saves 10% on Professional and Enterprise.

Enterprise costs $2,999 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST. Its five seats and unlimited bookings come with multi-location support, advanced user roles, SSO, custom integrations, a dedicated account manager, 24/7 phone support, and an SLA guarantee. It is aimed at larger or more security-conscious operations; the higher price buys controls and support beyond the Professional package. Additional provider seats cost $799 a month, billed monthly, plus 18% GST, are prorated when added mid-cycle, and are available on all plans. A free trial is offered.

Platforms

GetSetTime is cloud-based and available on the web. It can be managed from a device without installing software, which suits operators who need to handle scheduling from different locations.

Who it's for

Clinics, salons, consultants, real estate businesses, fitness providers, and agencies are among the intended customers. Tutors can also make use of self-booking and recurring lessons. The strongest fit is a service team coordinating multiple people, calendars, or resources; solo businesses with modest volume may find the Free or Starter limits adequate.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Customer booking rules, rescheduling, and cancellations connect the public booking page to operational needs.
• Pros: Professional combines unlimited bookings, two seats, reminders, staff management, payments, and advanced analytics in one plan.
• Pros: Enterprise adds SSO, advanced roles, multi-location support, and an SLA for organizations that need more oversight.
• Cons: Free and Starter are capped at 50 and 250 monthly bookings respectively, and each includes only one seat.
• Cons: WhatsApp reminders and staff-management tools are reserved for Professional and above, so teams needing those capabilities face a substantial step up from Starter.

Alternatives

For a wider comparison focused on tutors, see Tutoring Scheduling Software.

SchedulingKit is another freemium scheduling option, with a free plan for one team member, one event type, and 50 bookings per month; consider it if Android and iOS availability matter alongside web access. Penji offers a free plan with full platform access for up to five tutors or staff, making it worth considering for an institution prioritizing staff capacity. Tutorbase offers a free core plan with all features and no monthly subscription, but charges a 1% fee when invoicing through the system; it may suit users who prefer that payment-linked cost model. Tutoressa is another freemium option for readers comparing tutoring software.

Pynath Booking has a free plan with three active services, ten attendees per slot, a seven-day activity log, and 0% platform commission; it may suit providers whose needs fit those caps. TutorTab keeps scheduling, reminders, and invoicing free for tutors, while parents pay a fee when payments are collected through it, making it an option for tutors focused on keeping their own software cost at zero. Twizzlo offers up to 150 monthly bookings on its free plan, along with unlimited employees and locations, but no SMS; consider it if its booking allowance and staffing model fit. TutorKit by Agilix is another web-based option to compare.

Verdict

GetSetTime is a strong fit for appointment-based businesses that want customer self-booking tied to staff schedules, reminders, and operational reporting. Professional is the sensible tier for small teams needing unlimited bookings and broader coordination; look elsewhere if the one-seat lower plans cannot support your team or if their booking caps are too restrictive.
