How does Bookamat compare to Punchpass?

Both Bookamat and Punchpass are affordable and easy to use. Bookamat adds multi-location support, mobile-first member booking with optional home-screen install, SMS reminders on paid plans, integrated payments (Stripe, Square, Paystack), and advanced membership management. Punchpass is simpler with native App Store apps but no SMS and limited multi-location.

Is Bookamat more expensive than Punchpass?

Bookamat is free for up to 10 active clients, then pay-as-you-grow pricing in your local currency. Punchpass charges $59–$149/month on flat tiers. Bookamat includes multi-location, SMS, and Square/Paystack at every tier — Punchpass adds no transaction markup on Stripe, which suits very small studios on a tight budget.

Do clients need to download an app with Bookamat or Punchpass?

Bookamat members book in the mobile browser — no app store required — and can optionally add Bookamat to their home screen. Punchpass offers native iOS and Android apps in the app stores. Bookamat also supports SMS reminders on paid plans; Punchpass is email-first for automated reminders.

Can I switch from Punchpass to Bookamat?

Yes. Bookamat offers free data migration from Punchpass. Most studios complete the switch in a weekend. Your client list and booking history can be imported.
