ApptHQ and Setmore, side by side.

Prices checked on November 11, 2026 from setmore.com. Prices change, so read their page before you decide.
What each one says.
The Setmore column repeats what their own pricing page says. A row is left out where their page does not say.

|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free: $0 per user a month, for up to 4 users. | Solo, for one person: $24 a month after a $12 first month. |
| Paid plan | Pro, with unlimited users, is shown as $12 and $5 per user a month. The $5 figure is marked as annual pricing. | No per-person fee. Team covers everyone for $49 a month, after a $24 first month. |
