Rated 5 out of 5
"I absolutely love using Booklink for my business. It's affordable, easy to use, and best of all, it's LOCAL!"
Rated 5 out of 5
"Booklink has been an absolute game-changer for our dance academy! The platform is user-friendly, efficient and, most importantly, backed by exceptional personal support."
Rated 5 out of 5
"There were a few features that I would have preferred to see on the system when signing up, but as soon as I mentioned them to the Booklink team, they jumped in and added the features quickly and effectively."
Rated 5 out of 5
"It allows you to categorise the different services you offer with photos so it's easier for clients to select."
Rated 5 out of 5
"I switched from other platforms like Fresha and Calendly because they restricted my scheduling options to rigid one-hour blocks. I needed more flexibility to set custom appointment slots of 1 hour and 15 minutes, which allows me to provide a better, unhurried experience and deeper relaxation for my clients. Booklink gave me that exact freedom."
Rated 5 out of 5
"They covered all the things I needed for a very reasonable price and even accommodated a special request that I had which was included to their system by the following day."

In one paragraph
How much does an online booking system cost in South Africa?
Booklink is priced for South African service providers in two tiers. The Free plan costs R0 forever and includes one service, one team member, thirty bookings per month, a fully branded booking page you can embed on your website, classes and group sessions, email notifications, and client management, which is enough to run a solo operation on a light caseload without paying a cent. The Pro plan is a flat R79 per month, billed monthly with no lock-in, and unlocks unlimited services and bookings, up to five team members with per-user permissions, Google Calendar sync, Google Meet links for online appointments, deposit and full-payment collection via Yoco, Paystack, PayFast, or iKhokha, bank transfer bookings and payment links, coupon codes, multi-service bookings, service areas for businesses that work at the client's address, automated WhatsApp reminders with 50 free WhatsApp credits a month, automatic follow-up messages after appointments (check-ins, aftercare, rebook and review requests), up to three configurable email reminders, multiple availability slots per day, GA4 and Google Ads conversion tracking, three booking page layouts and eight themes, storefront branding with your own colours and fonts, business contact details on your booking page, removal of Booklink branding, and priority support.
Booklink charges zero commission on any booking on either plan. The only transaction fees you pay are the standard processing fees charged by your chosen payment gateway, billed by that gateway rather than by Booklink. Compared to international marketplaces that charge between R400 and R800 per month for equivalent functionality, or marketplace platforms that skim a per-booking commission, R79 is calibrated to a solo stylist or one-room studio rather than an enterprise. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time without a cancellation fee.
