What Competitors Charge Extra For — We Include
We built AudraBooking because we were tired of platforms that nickel-and-dime you on every feature.
No platform commission
Many platforms take 1–3% of every booking. We don’t: no AudraBooking platform commission — payment-provider fees apply.
Bring your own payment gateway
Payments go straight to your own Stripe or PayPal account, on their standard processing fees. We never hold your money.
Ready-made industry templates
Salon, coach, studio, restaurant, rentals or events: one click creates booking pages, hours, prices and resources.
Email & text reminders
Send through your own email and Twilio account (Twilio's charges apply), or let AudraBooking send for you from $1 per 1,000 emails and 2¢ per text.
Full calendar sync
Google Calendar and Outlook sync included at every paid tier. No upsell.
Embed widget free
The booking widget is included in all paid plans — no add-on required.
Tax & VAT reports
Automated inclusive/exclusive tax calculation with exportable reports for your accountant.
What booking software really costs
An illustrative example: a business taking 300 bookings a month at an average of $60 ($18,000 a month through its booking page).
| Per month | AudraBooking | Typical platform with commission |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | $5 (Starter, 500 bookings) | about $30 |
| Platform commission (1–3% of $18,000) | $0 | $180–$540 |
| 300 text reminders | about $2.50 via your Twilio | $0–$15, depending on plan |
| Card processing (Stripe / PayPal) | Provider fees apply | Provider fees apply |
| Total (before card fees) | about $7.50 | $210–$585 |
That's roughly $2,430–$6,930 a year kept in your business.
Illustrative example, not a quote. Assumes a $30/month subscription and a 1–3% booking commission for a typical commission-based platform, and US Twilio pricing of under 1¢ per text for AudraBooking (or 2¢ per text if AudraBooking sends them for you). Card-processing fees from Stripe or PayPal apply either way and are not included. Your numbers will differ.

No AudraBooking platform commission — payment-provider fees apply. Payments go straight to your own Stripe or PayPal account. What counts as a booking?
Questions, answered
What counts toward my monthly bookings?
A booking counts in the month it is made, whether a customer books online or you add it in the dashboard. Each session of a recurring or class booking counts as one booking. Bookings cancelled 24 hours or more before they start don’t count, and bookings you import from another system don’t count.
Do you take a commission on my bookings?
No. There is no AudraBooking platform commission — payment-provider fees apply. Online payments go straight to your own Stripe or PayPal account at their standard processing rates.
How do text and email reminders work?
Reminders go through your own email and Twilio accounts (Twilio’s per-message charges apply) — or let AudraBooking send them for you at a small per-message price, shown in Billing.
How quickly can I get set up?
Most businesses are ready in minutes. Pick a template for your industry, check the hours and prices, and share your booking link. You can also build every booking page from scratch.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan includes every feature for up to 50 bookings a month, with no card needed. Upgrade any time — Starter is $5/month for 500 bookings.
What is the Business plan?
Business is our plan for busy teams: 5,000 bookings a month for $49. Need more than that? The Max plan is unlimited on a custom contract.
Can I try it before signing up?
Yes — open any demo business above to book as a customer or look around the owner’s dashboard. No sign-up needed.
