OneBookPlus vs Setmore:
scheduling, or the whole business?

It can be, but they aren't the same kind of product. Setmore is dedicated appointment-scheduling software, and it does that one job well, including a genuinely generous free tier: $0 for up to 4 staff with unlimited appointments (see setmore.com/pricing). OneBookPlus is an all-in-one Australian business platform: the same online booking page and calendar Setmore gives you, plus GST invoicing, quoting, job management, CRM, marketing, POS and accounting in one subscription. If all you need is a self-booking calendar, Setmore's free plan is hard to beat. If you also send invoices, chase payments and track GST, OneBookPlus replaces Setmore and the four or five other tools you'd otherwise bolt on.

Setmore's Free plan is $0/month for up to 4 users, with unlimited appointments. Its Pro plan is USD $5/user/month billed annually (or USD $12/user/month billed monthly) for unlimited users and appointments, with SMS reminders, 2-way calendar sync, recurring appointments and video; Team and Enterprise tiers are contact-sales (see setmore.com/pricing). Note Setmore prices in US dollars, so an Australian customer's AUD cost moves with the exchange rate. OneBookPlus has its own $0 free plan and flat Australian-dollar paid plans, and those plans include invoicing, CRM, accounting and marketing, not just scheduling. Where Setmore's free tier carries four users, ours carries one login and the paid tiers band the rest: one login on Free, three on Starter, five on Plus and ten on Growth, with no per-seat charge below the cap. Say it plainly, because it is the one place Setmore's free plan is more generous than ours. Repeating appointments are the one place both products draw a paid line: Setmore keeps them on Pro, OneBookPlus includes one repeating series on Free and makes them unlimited from Starter at $29/mo. One-off bookings are unlimited on every OneBookPlus plan, including Free. So Setmore can be cheaper if you only need bookings, but OneBookPlus replaces several paid tools at once.

No. Setmore is scheduling software, its own features pages show no invoicing, quoting, accounting/bookkeeping or GST/tax calculation, and no CRM beyond basic customer profiles (see setmore.com/features). You can take a payment at the time of booking via Stripe, Square or PayPal, but there's no tax invoice, no GST tracking, and nothing that feeds a BAS. OneBookPlus calculates 10% GST on every invoice and quote, validates ABNs via the Australian Business Register, tracks GST collected and paid, and generates ATO-ready BAS summaries, so the booking, the invoice and the tax line are the same record.

Setmore is a global product offered in multiple languages, not an Australia-specific one, and it prices in US dollars (see setmore.com/pricing). Its scheduling works fine for Australian businesses, but there's no GST calculation, ABN validation or BAS reporting because it isn't an accounting or invoicing tool. OneBookPlus is built in Australia and AU-hosted in AWS Sydney, with GST, ABN validation and BAS summaries built in from day one, so your bookings and your tax compliance live in the same place.

Two things stand out. First, Setmore's Pro plan includes built-in video appointments, which OneBookPlus doesn't currently offer natively, useful if you run telehealth or remote consults. Second, Setmore's free plan covers up to 4 users with no time limit, and it supports a wider set of payment processors, Stripe, Square and PayPal (Square on the Free plan, Stripe and PayPal on Pro) where OneBookPlus uses Stripe. If your business is purely appointment-based, doesn't invoice, and you specifically want free multi-staff scheduling with video, Setmore is a strong, focused choice.

For Australian businesses that want more than a booking calendar, OneBookPlus is a strong Setmore alternative. It keeps everything you'd use Setmore for, an online booking page, staff calendars, reminders and payments, and adds GST invoicing, quoting, a real CRM, job management, email marketing, review requests, POS and accounting, all built for Australian tax compliance and starting from a $0 free plan. If you only ever need scheduling, Setmore's free tier is excellent; if your bookings turn into invoices, OneBookPlus is built for the whole journey.

Yes, and it's a sensible way to switch. There's no native integration between the two, so keep taking already-booked appointments in Setmore while you set up services, staff and your booking page in OneBookPlus, then swap the links on your website and Google profile when you're ready. Running both permanently means double data entry, every Setmore booking you want to invoice has to be re-entered, so most businesses treat the overlap as a few weeks of transition rather than a long-term setup.

Yes, it's $0/month with no time limit and no card required. It includes your booking page and calendar alongside up to 10 invoices and 5 quotes a month and 250 contacts, which is a different shape from Setmore's free tier: Setmore is generous on appointments (200 a month, 4 users) but has no invoicing at all. If you outgrow the free limits, OneBookPlus paid plans start at $29/month in Australian dollars inclusive of GST, and you can export your data at any time on either plan.

Yes. Export your customer list from Setmore as a CSV and import it into OneBookPlus during onboarding, names, emails and phone numbers map across into proper CRM records, each ready for bookings, quotes and invoices. Set up your services and staff calendar, publish your OneBookPlus booking page, and point your existing booking links at it. You keep your Setmore account running until you've cut over, and you can export your OneBookPlus data at any time, so you're never locked in.
