Studiolution alternative — lean booking instead of all-in-one complexity
Studiolution is a German all-in-one salon platform (POS, inventory, marketing, booking) with a free entry tier. Strong on feature breadth — but that's exactly what makes it too complex for many: if all you want is modern online booking, you fight your way through modules you'll never use.
EazyBooking is booking-only, modern and lean — from €59/month, 5 staff included, native Apple calendar sync.

What sets EazyBooking apart
Four concrete differences that matter
Lean instead of all-in-one bloat
Studiolution wants to be your entire salon IT — POS, inventory, marketing, booking. If all you need is online booking, you pay for that in complexity and onboarding time. EazyBooking does one thing well: booking. It integrates with your existing POS instead of replacing it.
Native Apple calendar sync
EazyBooking offers two-way sync with Apple, Google and Outlook — appointments land instantly on your staff's iPhones, and private events block booking slots automatically. It's the most reliable sync on the DACH market.
Transparent flat rate instead of a module kit
Studiolution's freemium model looks cheap, but relevant modules (SMS, marketing) cost extra — the final price quickly becomes opaque. EazyBooking: €59 net, 5 staff included, no hidden module fees.
F-500 2026 design
Studiolution is functional but feature-dense. The EazyBooking booking page is in the modern Linear/Stripe style of 2026 — customers notice the difference; it feels premium and trustworthy. Plus: a 7-language booking page for international customers.
Frequently asked questions
Switching from Studiolution — what you need to know
Is switching from Studiolution to EazyBooking worth it?
If you use Studiolution primarily for online booking: yes. You get a more modern, leaner booking flow with native Apple calendar sync at a transparent flat rate. If you actively use Studiolution's POS + inventory, switching only pays off if you move those to specialised tools (e.g. SumUp for POS).
Can I export customer data from Studiolution?
Yes, a GDPR export is mandatory. Studiolution offers a data export, and EazyBooking imports it via CSV. A realistic migration takes 2-4 hours including service setup.
What if I use the Studiolution POS?
EazyBooking is booking-only. For the POS we recommend SumUp Solo (~€30/month) or Lightspeed. Combined with EazyBooking at €59 you land around €89/month — using specialised tools instead of an all-in-one compromise, and both modern instead of feature-overloaded.
Is EazyBooking free like the Studiolution base tier?
No, EazyBooking has a 14-day free trial, then €59/month. In return there are no per-module surcharges: SMS reminders, marketing recall, multi-staff and a custom domain are all included. Studiolution's free base quickly becomes paid through add-on modules.
How does the Apple calendar integration differ?
EazyBooking uses native CalDAV — two-way, real-time. Appointments in the admin land instantly on your iPhone, and private iPhone events block online slots. This depth of integration is EazyBooking's core USP versus most DACH salon tools.
How fast is the switch?
EazyBooking setup in 30 min: services, opening hours, staff, custom domain. Data migration from Studiolution takes 1-2 hours via CSV. A full move within half a working day.
