$0. Forever. Really.
One plan. Everything included. Unlimited bookings, staff and locations — with no paid tiers, no usage caps and no credit card. This page exists because nobody believes us.
The plan. (There's only one.)
No Starter, no Pro, no “Contact sales”. Every account gets everything — these aren't marketing tiers hiding server-side limits, because there are no limits in the backend to hide.
Everything
The whole product, for every account, from day one.
$0forever
Not per user. Not per month. Not a trial.
Unlimited bookings
No monthly appointment cap — 50 or 50,000 bookings, same price: $0.
Unlimited staff
Every team member, each with their own services and hours. No per-seat pricing.
Unlimited locations
Multi-location businesses pay exactly what solo founders pay: nothing.
Google Calendar sync
Keep your existing calendar in sync — included, not an add-on.
REST API + webhooks
Build on top of RZRV from day one. The API isn't an enterprise upsell.
Embeddable booking widget
A hosted booking page plus a widget for your own site.
And what RZRV takes from your revenue: nothing. No commissions, no client-acquisition fees, no payment processing of your bookings — your money never touches us.

Last verified: June 2026 — every figure above comes from the vendor's own pricing page, not third-party blogs: Calendly pricing, Acuity Scheduling pricing, Setmore pricing, Square Appointments pricing, SimplyBook.me pricing, Fresha pricing, Booksy pricing, GlossGenius pricing, Microsoft Bookings pricing, Cal.com pricing, Zoho Bookings pricing.
“—” means the vendor's own pricing page doesn't state it. We only print caps we could verify — we never guess.
Vagaro and Appointy publish no verifiable figures (their pricing pages resist automated verification), so their rows show only dashes rather than secondhand numbers.
Every “free” plan's catch, in one line
Sourced from each vendor's own pricing page, June 2026. Quote us on these.
Calendly
“Free means one event type on one calendar — payments, reminders and every team feature are sold back per seat.”
Acuity Scheduling
“There is no free Acuity — after the 7-day trial the cheapest way to keep one calendar running is $16/mo.”
Free Acuity Scheduling alternativeSetmore
“The free plan stops at 200 appointments a month and 4 users — and the SMS reminders your no-shows need are Pro-only.”
Free Setmore alternativeSquare Appointments
“Free for one human inside Square's payments ecosystem — the moment you're a team, you're on a paid tier whose price isn't even in the page source.”
Free Square Appointments alternativeSimplyBook.me
“Free is 50 bookings a month for one provider with a single ‘custom feature’ slot — everything else is an upgrade or a credit pack.”
Fresha
“The famous ‘free’ Fresha is gone — it's a per-team-member subscription now, with reminder messages metered after 20 a month.”
Free Fresha alternativeBooksy
“No free plan — $29.99 a month plus $20 for every extra staff member, and Boost takes 30% of a new client's first visit.”
Free Booksy alternativeVagaro
“Vagaro is a paid per-calendar subscription with a free trial — beyond that its pricing pages resist verification, so we make no specific claims.”
GlossGenius
“No free plan, and texting isn't unlimited either — the $24/mo tier includes 500 text credits a month.”
Microsoft Bookings
“You can't actually buy Microsoft Bookings — it's a Microsoft 365 feature, so every staff member costs at least a $6/mo seat.”
Free Microsoft Bookings alternativeCal.com
“The most honest free plan on this list — but it's for exactly one human; the moment you're a team, it's $12 per user per month.”
Appointy
“Appointy advertises a free plan, but its site blocks verification — so we make no claims about its real limits.”
Zoho Bookings
“Free means exactly one user with one event type on one calendar — fine for a solo founder, a dead end for a team.”
Why is it free?
In this industry, “free” usually means a teaser tier engineered to be outgrown: cap the bookings, charge per staff member, and wait. We think that's exactly backwards — the businesses most sensitive to software costs are the ones a scheduling tool should be helping.
We're early, and we're choosing distribution over revenue. The fastest way for a new scheduling product to matter is to be the one people can recommend without a disclaimer — no “free, but…”, no asterisk pointing at a pricing grid. You get the whole product; we get users who tell other people. That's the entire deal.
If RZRV ever charges for anything, it will be new, optional capabilities for larger organizations — built on top of the free product, not carved out of it. Nothing on this page moves behind a paywall. That's the commitment, in writing, on the page everyone can link to.
The questions skeptics ask
Fair questions, all of them. Here are the straight answers.
Is RZRV really free?
Yes — completely. There is one plan, it costs $0, and it includes the entire product: unlimited bookings, unlimited staff, unlimited locations, Google Calendar sync, the REST API with webhooks, and the embeddable booking widget. There is no premium tier to upgrade to — this page is the whole pricing model.
What's the catch?
There isn't one buried in a feature matrix, because there is no feature matrix. No booking caps, no per-staff seats, no commissions on your bookings, and no credit card field anywhere. The honest trade: RZRV is a young product, and we would rather earn users by being genuinely free than gate features behind tiers.
How will RZRV make money?
Right now we don't, by choice — we're building the product and the user base first. If we ever charge for anything, it will be new, optional capabilities aimed at larger organizations, never the scheduling features you're using today. The core product stays free.
Do I need a credit card?
No. There's no card field at signup, no trial countdown, and nothing to cancel later. A trial that needs a card isn't free, so we don't ask for one.
Is there a limit on bookings, staff, or locations?
No — all three are unlimited on the one $0 plan. Fifty bookings or fifty thousand, a solo chair or a fifty-person team, one location or ten: same price, same product. There are no usage caps to bump into and nothing that unlocks only when you pay.
What happens if you ever introduce paid plans?
Everything that's free today stays free, including for existing accounts. Any future paid offering would be a new, optional add-on — announced openly, not a quiet cap slipped into the free plan. No retroactive limits, ever.
Done doing pricing-page math?
There's nothing to calculate here. Unlimited everything, $0, live in minutes — no credit card to start, none later either.
