How Időzíts compares to other booking tools
We're not the only booking software out there. Here's an honest comparison to help you decide what's right for your business.
Időzíts vs. Minup
Minup is a well-established Hungarian booking platform with 5,000+ businesses. They're a solid product — and significantly more expensive for the features that actually matter.
| Feature | Időzíts | Minup Free | Minup Pro (€9.99/mo) | Minup Business (€15.99/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | €7.99/mo | Free | €9.99/mo | €15.99/mo |
| Services | Unlimited | 1 only | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| Push notifications | ||||
| SMS reminders | Prepaid ~40 Ft | |||
| Custom branding | ||||
| Custom scheduling | ||||
| Online payments | Stripe | |||
| Group bookings |
The key difference: Minup doesn't offer SMS reminders at any price tier — it's on their roadmap. With Időzíts, SMS is prepaid at ~40 Ft/message. At €7.99/month you get all features plus online payments via Stripe.
Minup doesn't offer push notifications at any tier. Időzíts does, because it's an installable app.
When to choose Minup over Időzíts: If you need group bookings or passes/packages — features we intentionally don't offer to keep things simple.
Időzíts vs. Calendly
Calendly is the global market leader in scheduling software. It's excellent — if you're an English-speaking professional booking meetings.
| Feature | Időzíts | Calendly Free | Calendly Standard (~€10/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hungarian interface | Native | ||
| Hungarian support | |||
| SMS reminders (Hungarian) | ~83 SMS/mo, no Hungarian | ||
| Push notifications | |||
| Mobile-first design | Desktop-first | Desktop-first | |
| Designed for | Solo service providers | Office professionals | Office professionals |
| Price | €7.99/mo | Free (limited) | ~€10/mo |
The key difference: Calendly Standard includes SMS, but Hungarian isn't one of the 5 supported languages — your clients get a message they may not fully understand, sent from a US number they don't recognise, capped at ~83 messages per month to Hungarian numbers. Időzíts sends every SMS in the client's own language, from a local number — prepaid at ~40 Ft/message.
When to choose Calendly over Időzíts: If you're scheduling meetings (not service appointments), work primarily in English, and need deep integrations with Outlook, Salesforce, or Zoom.
Időzíts vs. Reservio
Reservio is a Czech-based platform that goes well beyond booking — it builds you a full business website and includes a POS terminal for in-person payments. That broader scope comes with higher complexity and significantly higher payment processing fees.
| Feature | Időzíts | Reservio Free | Reservio Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hungarian UI | Native | (translated) | (translated) |
| SMS reminders | Prepaid ~40 Ft | Paid add-on | |
| Push notifications | Via app | Via app | |
| Install method | App — browser | App Store required | App Store required |
| Mobile-first | App-based | App-based | |
| Simplicity | Core focus | Feature-rich | Feature-rich |
| Business website included | Booking page only | Included | Included |
| POS terminal | Included | Included | |
| Online payment fees (HU cards) | 2.75% + 85 Ft (Stripe) | 3.9% + €0.35 | 3.5% + €0.35 |
The key difference: Reservio is a different category of product — it builds your website, handles in-person payments via a POS terminal, and gives you a full business management suite. If that's what you need, it might be worth it. Reservio's "free" plan isn't really free — they take 3.9% + €0.35 on every transaction you process. Upgrading to Standard drops it to 3.5% + €0.35, but that's still significantly more than Időzíts's 2.75% + 85 Ft for Hungarian clients paying with domestic cards. Reservio's business model is built around taking a cut of your revenue. You'll also need to download their app. Időzíts is the opposite: a focused booking tool you install from your browser, with SMS prepaid at ~40 Ft/message and payments via Stripe.
When to choose Reservio over Időzíts: If you need a full business website, in-person POS payments, or more complex multi-staff management.
Időzíts vs. booked4.us
Booked4.us is a Hungarian-developed booking system with good localization and local market knowledge.
| Feature | Időzíts | booked4.us |
|---|---|---|
| Hungarian UI | Native | Native |
| SMS notifications | Prepaid ~40 Ft | Pricing varies |
| Push notifications | ||
| Mobile-first app | Traditional web | |
| Simplicity | Core focus | More features |
| Multi-staff support | Solo only |
The key difference: Booked4.us serves a broader market including multi-staff businesses. If you're a solo professional, you're paying for complexity you don't need. Időzíts is purpose-built for one-person operations.

Minup starts everyone on a 14-day trial with all features, then drops you to a free plan limited to one service, no payments, no SMS, and no branding control. It's designed to show you what you're missing — and it works. You'll want to upgrade.
Reservio lets you keep going for free, but caps you at 40 bookings/month and 100 clients while charging 3.9% + €0.35 on every transaction and putting their logo on your booking page. No SMS unless you upgrade. No calendar sync unless you upgrade. The free plan captures your reservations and client list — and the longer you use it, the harder it is to leave.
We'll be straight with you: Időzíts doesn't have a free tier. To run a real booking business — with SMS reminders your clients actually read, payments that go straight to your bank, and a booking page that looks like yours — you need to pay. We think €7.99/month is fair for what you get. Try it, and if it's not for you, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Still Deciding?
The best way to find out if Időzíts is right for you is to try it. Setup is straightforward and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
