Comparison
SimplyBook.me counts bookings, Motice counts members
The most decisive difference between the two is the shape of the price list. SimplyBook.me publishes its plans and monthly booking quotas; Motice’s calculation looks at how many members hold an active package and which modules are switched on. The figures below come from SimplyBook.me’s own pricing page.
The plans SimplyBook.me publishes
Amounts and quotas from the vendor’s own page. Annual billing is offered at a discount to monthly billing.
Basic — €11.90/month annual, €13.90/month monthly
100 bookings a month, 3 custom features, 5 providers.
Standard — €24.90/month annual, €29.90/month monthly
500 bookings a month, 8 custom features, 15 providers.
Premium — €49.90/month annual, €59.90/month monthly
2,000 bookings a month, an unlimited number of custom features, 30 providers. Marked “most popular” on the page.
Enterprise — no amount published
Booking volume, custom feature count and provider count are set to order.
All plans include core scheduling, a booking website, administration tools and email notifications; the page states there are no transaction fees on bookings.
What a booking quota means in a studio
The quota counts the NUMBER of bookings per month, not members. Even a fifty-person weekly schedule produces several hundred bookings a month: every member joining every class is one booking.
That pushes cost upward with utilisation rather than with member count. Motice’s calculation looks at how many members hold an active package; the same member attending four classes or twelve in a month does not change it.
Which one works out better depends on your utilisation — and this page makes no claim about being cheaper: Motice publishes no list price, so there are not two figures to compare.
Features: purchased units, or switched-on modules
Neither product gives you everything at once, but the unit of counting differs.
SimplyBook.me: a per-plan allowance of “custom features”
The vendor calls features “custom features” and caps how many can be enabled per plan (1 · 3 · 8 · unlimited). Named among them on their features page are group bookings, classes, membership, packages and recurring services.
Motice: four modules, no allowance
Calendar, members, packages and attendance are in the core package; sales and payment records, instructor commissions and the member portal are switched on separately. There is no cap on how many can be on — all three or none.
What stands differently on the Motice side
These are Motice’s own published capabilities; none of them is a claim about what SimplyBook.me does.
An entitlement ledger and two separate pools
The remaining count is the last line of a ledger: every movement lands with who made it, why, and the resulting balance. Group and private entitlements sit in separate pools; a member out of group sessions cannot join a class on private entitlements.
The late-cancellation window is genuinely enforced
The window is configured per class and the system applies it: cancel outside it and the entitlement is consumed, cancel inside it and it returns. A member promoted from the waitlist who then cancels late does not lose the entitlement.
Turkish interface and an audit trail
Motice’s own interface is Turkish. Every sensitive change is recorded with who made it and the value before and after; a Motice support sign-in lands in the same ledger.
Data isolation at the database level
Each studio’s data is separated with PostgreSQL row-level security; isolation is not left to a filter in application code.
Where SimplyBook.me is the better answer
You work alone and volume is low
The free plan costs nothing up to 50 bookings a month and one provider. For a studio that just opened and runs a few dozen sessions a month, that is a real starting point; Motice has no free tier.
You want to see the figure up front
SimplyBook.me publishes amounts, so you can budget without a call. Motice shares the quote at the end of the demo call.
You run a service outside the studio world
SimplyBook.me is a general booking product aimed at a wide range of services. Motice was built for appointment- and class-based studios and turns on capacity-limited group classes, member packages and remaining entitlements. If your business sits outside that, Motice’s core will feel too narrow.
