Scheduling & Appointments
Picktime
Free-friendly appointment-scheduling tool for small businesses, with online booking pages, calendar sync, and class/resource management.
✓ Source-checked profile2 sources cited
FindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
A strong value pick for small service businesses that want online booking without paying much. The free plan genuinely covers unlimited appointments, online booking, and calendar sync for a small team. Paid tiers are inexpensive (per user, billed annually) and add SMS notifications, recurring bookings, and integrations. It's USD-billed and lighter on deep customization than premium tools, so larger or highly branded operations may prefer Acuity/Zoho Bookings.
FindThatSoftware has source-checked this listing and keeps 2 public sources visible for buyer verification.
Should you use Picktime?
Use it if small service businesses wanting free or low-cost online booking. Avoid it if salons or clinics with more than 10 staff, because the published plans stop at 10 team members and anything larger goes through support.

Claim this listing →In short
Picktime is a commerce & operations / scheduling & appointments for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹223/mo for a GST-registered business ($2.25/user/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). That is per user with a 10-user minimum, so the smallest bill is about ₹2,230 a month. It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for small service businesses wanting free or low-cost online booking, and a poor fit if salons or clinics with more than 10 staff, because the published plans stop at 10 team members and anything larger goes through support.
The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- The free plan allows unlimited appointments with 3 team members, 3 resources and 2 locations, which is more generous than most free scheduling tiers.
- Starter costs 3 dollars per user per month on annual billing and adds Stripe and Square payments, two way calendar sync and SMS reminders.
- Booking widgets exist for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, Joomla and Drupal, so an existing website does not need rebuilding.
The catch
- Pro is sold as a 10 user bundle at 2.25 dollars per user, so the smallest Pro bill is higher than Starter despite the lower unit rate.
- Going past 10 team members or 10 resources needs a support conversation, because the published plans stop there and tell you to contact support.
- Several headline Pro features including the Zapier integrations, Classpacks and Vouchers are still marked coming soon rather than shipped.
- Prices are quoted in US dollars only, so Indian buyers absorb the card forex markup on every renewal.

Does Picktime give a GST invoice in India?
Picktime does not issue an India GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still reclaim the 18% through the reverse-charge route by raising a self-invoice, but there is no vendor GST invoice to claim against directly.
Is Picktime good for Indian small businesses?
Picktime can work for Indian buyers, but check currency, tax, billing, support, and whether the workflow justifies foreign-currency pricing.
Does Picktime have a free plan?
Picktime lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.
