Comparison
Setmore alternative for DACH — with a real German UI
Setmore is solid for solo freelancers on a free tier. But if you operate in the DACH market, run multiple staff or want to offer a full-fledged service-business booking experience, Setmore lacks the DACH depth: German servers, native translation, custom domain from day one.
EazyBooking is built from the ground up for German-speaking service businesses — from €59/month including 5 staff.
No credit card · Cancel anytime · GDPR-compliant
In short: when does what fit?
Setmore is better when …
- You're a solo freelancer and the free tier without reminders is enough
- You already run Square as POS (native Setmore integration)
- International customers outside DACH dominate your business
EazyBooking is better when …
- DACH market + GDPR + German UI are non-negotiable
- You want a real German translation instead of auto-translate
- Custom domain + multi-staff from day one matter to you
- You need deposit models (deposit + rest on-site)

What sets EazyBooking apart
Four concrete differences that matter
DACH-first, not global-first
EazyBooking is built from day one for German-speaking service businesses — UI, support, compliance, servers. Setmore is a global product with an auto-translated DE variant. If your customers read "Termin verabreden" instead of "Termin buchen", they feel it.
Custom domain from day one
Setmore hides custom domain behind their Premium tier ($25/month). With EazyBooking, "book.your-domain.com" is in the base plan — automatic SSL, one-click DNS setup. Brand trust comes from the domain.
Group booking for service businesses
A family at the hair salon, three friends at the nail studio, couples coaching — Setmore can't do this (their group is 1-to-many like a yoga class). EazyBooking books multiple customers into one slot with per-person services as a single bundled calendar entry.
Stripe Connect without the account hurdle
Setmore requires a full standalone Stripe account for online payments. EazyBooking is a platform vendor via Stripe Express — tenants onboard via a single Stripe-hosted form and are payment-ready in under 5 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Switching from Setmore — what you need to know
Is Setmore really free?
Setmore Free is generous (4 staff, unlimited appointments) — but no automatic reminder emails, no SMS, no custom domain, no online payments. For a "real" service business you'll need Pro ($12/user/month) or Premium ($25/user). With 3+ staff EazyBooking is cheaper, with all features included in the base plan.
How is Setmore's German translation?
Decent but visibly machine-translated. Phrases like "Sich verabreden" instead of "Termin buchen", inconsistent formal/informal address. For DACH customers that's a trust issue, especially for higher-value services. The EazyBooking UI is written by native speakers, plus Telegram support in German.
Can I migrate my Setmore bookings to EazyBooking?
There's no direct import (yet). And we don't sync Setmore directly — but you can run Setmore + EazyBooking side by side. Existing appointments stay in your Apple/Google calendar (we sync both); new bookings come in via EazyBooking. After 30 days we recommend cutting Setmore.
Does EazyBooking have a free tier?
Not currently — but 14 days of full access without a credit card. We believe "free + feature limit" breeds frustration: you build your business, hit the limits, get annoyed. Trial-then-decide is more honest. If after 14 days you don't need the features, Setmore Free is the right pick.
GDPR at Setmore — what's the difference?
Setmore has a DPA template (standard contractual clauses) and is accessible from the EU. But servers sit in the US/India, data flows out under SCCs. For sensitive industries (healthcare, lawyers, consulting) that's a risk factor. EazyBooking is 100% EU-Central — data never leaves Germany, DPA on request.
What if my customers already know Setmore?
Brand recognition isn't a conversion factor for booking pages — customers search "Appointment <your name>", land on your page, book. Whether Setmore or EazyBooking is behind it, they rarely notice. What matters: your domain, your logo, your brand colors. A custom domain on EazyBooking makes it invisible who's running in the background.
