Picktime

Picktime is a free appointment scheduling and booking platform designed for service businesses, professionals and organisations of many kinds — from salons and clinics to tutors, consultants, classes and events. Its main appeal is offering a broad set of scheduling features at no cost, making professional online booking accessible to small businesses on a tight budget.

Online booking and scheduling

Picktime gives businesses a booking page where clients can view services and availability and book appointments themselves 24/7. Staff and resources can each have their own schedules, and the system manages availability to prevent double-bookings. For businesses that want to move away from phone-and-paper scheduling to self-service online booking, Picktime covers the essentials without a price barrier.

Reminders and calendar sync

Automated email reminders help reduce no-shows by nudging clients before their appointments, and Picktime syncs with popular calendars so your bookings appear alongside the rest of your schedule and you avoid conflicts. These features, standard in paid tools, come free here, which is a significant draw for cost-conscious operators.

Classes, events and resources

Beyond one-to-one appointments, Picktime supports class and group bookings, event scheduling and resource booking (such as rooms or equipment). This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of use cases — a yoga studio scheduling classes, a clinic booking rooms, or a tutor taking sessions — all from one platform.

Payments and management

Picktime offers integrations for taking payments, along with customer management to keep track of client details and booking history, and reporting to help you understand your bookings. It aims to be a complete, if streamlined, scheduling solution rather than just a booking widget.

Who it's for

Picktime is ideal for small businesses, solo professionals and organisations that want capable online booking — with reminders, calendar sync and support for classes and resources — without paying for it. It's especially appealing to new or budget-conscious businesses that need professional scheduling on a shoestring.

For any service business that wants free, versatile appointment scheduling to fill its calendar and cut no-shows, Picktime is a generous and practical choice.

Why small businesses choose Picktime

Picktime's biggest draw is that it offers genuinely useful scheduling features — a branded booking page, staff and resource calendars, reminders, calendar sync and support for classes and events — at no cost, putting professional online booking within reach of the smallest and newest businesses. Setup is straightforward: add your services, availability and staff, share your booking link, and clients can self-schedule around the clock. For a business currently juggling bookings by phone, text or paper, moving to Picktime immediately cuts double-bookings and no-shows without adding a software bill. Whether you run a salon, clinic, tutoring service, studio or events, Picktime provides a versatile, free foundation for filling your calendar and looking professional while you grow.
