Setmore has been around since 2011, offering a range of features for service-based businesses. They've built a solid reputation for appointment scheduling and payment processing. However, despite their longevity, we've noticed that some businesses find Setmore lacking in certain areas, particularly when it comes to more advanced scheduling needs.

At CozyCal, we've taken a fresh approach. We've designed our tool to be both powerful and intuitive, catering to a wide range of scheduling scenarios. Our goal is to make scheduling feel less like a chore and more like a breeze for you and your clients.

We're a smaller, more agile team, which allows us to respond quickly to user needs and implement new features faster. This means we can often add functionality that our users are asking for, sometimes even before larger competitors.

We believe in transparency, which is why we openly share our product map and changelog. Your feedback directly shapes CozyCal's development, ensuring we're always aligned with what our users actually need.

While Setmore has its strengths, CozyCal offers a blend of simplicity and advanced features that modern businesses require. If you're looking for a flexible, user-friendly scheduling tool that can grow with your business, we'd love for you to give CozyCal a try.
