SimplyBook.me alternative with website, AI replies and payments
SimplyBook.me gives you a booking system you extend with custom features. Kadaleo puts the pieces together for you: your own website with online booking, an AI agent that answers in five messengers, bookings and payments on one customer record, and your social media in the same place. It works for any business that sells appointments, classes or rentals. Below is why that matters, then the two tools side by side.
Why Kadaleo instead of SimplyBook.me
Your brand, your website
Kadaleo builds your website from your details and photos, with online booking, SEO settings and your own domain. Clients book you on your own site, under your own name.
An AI agent in five messengers
WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and email. It answers from your business facts in the client's language, understands voice messages, books open slots and hands over to you when needed.
Ready without choosing features
Website, booking, the agent, the customer record and payments come as one product, with no custom features to pick and count against a plan.
Payments for the whole visit
Deposits, payment links, invoices and refunds through Stripe, with cards and MB WAY. The paid status stays on the customer's record.
Social media planned for you
A month of posts around your goal, with images and short videos made by Kadaleo with Premium Usage. A post goes out only after your approval, to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and more.
A CRM with deals and tasks
Every message, booking, deal, task and payment for a client in one record, with CSV import and export.

How it works
Decide what you need around the booking page
A booking page with features you add one by one is what SimplyBook.me describes. If you want the website, the messages and the customer record to work as one, start from one place.
Bring your service menu
Add services, prices and durations, the staff and resources, and your available times. The same menu feeds your site and the agent.
Build your own site
Add your photos and Kadaleo composes a site around them, with online booking built in. Publish on a Kadaleo address or on your own domain.
Connect your messaging channels
Connect WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, Telegram or email. The agent answers from your facts and books open slots.
Connect Stripe and your calendar
Take deposits and payment links with cards and MB WAY, and show when you are busy elsewhere with Google Calendar.
What is included
Your own website
Made from your details and your photos, with online booking built in.
An agent in your DMs
WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and email, in the language the client writes in, with voice messages understood.
Staff and resources
Available times and rescheduling, with Google Calendar sync.
Payments through Stripe
Deposits, payment links, invoices and refunds, with cards and MB WAY.
A month of posts to approve
Instagram, Facebook Pages, Threads, X, TikTok (video), Pinterest, YouTube and Telegram channels.
Feedback and rebooking
A feedback request and one invitation to book again, only to clients who agreed.
What it connects to
Stripe, Google Calendar, your messaging accounts and your social accounts. You connect the ones you use.
Honest notes and limits
- SimplyBook.me may suit you better if you want to choose and add individual features, or take bookings by voice: its site lists a free plan, custom features such as coupons, gift cards, memberships and loyalty programs, AI voice booking, and a point-of-sale system. Kadaleo has no point of sale.
- Kadaleo can sell simple products from your site and follow each order, but stock and shipping are not managed in Kadaleo.
- Your website has no AI chat. It takes online bookings, and the Kadaleo agent answers in your messaging channels.
- AI replies and automation are on during the trial and on a paid plan. On the free plan they are paused, while your site and online booking stay online.
How it fits the rest of Kadaleo
- Online booking with payments for your business: How booking and payment work on one customer record.
- AI customer agent for WhatsApp and Instagram: What the agent knows, which channels it answers in and where its limits are.
- Booking software for classes, tours and workshops: Classes and tours as sessions with places that a group books together.
- Rental booking software for equipment, vehicles and stays: Rentals by the day or the night, with the units free on those dates.
Pricing
Kadaleo plans start from €49 per month + VAT. The trial needs no card, and your site and online booking stay online on the free plan after it. See pricing
Common questions
Can I use Kadaleo and keep my SimplyBook.me booking page?
You can. Two booking calendars can book the same time twice, so choose one as the place clients book. Kadaleo sees only the busy times of a connected Google Calendar.
Does Kadaleo reply to Instagram and WhatsApp messages?
Yes. The agent answers in WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and email, and books open slots. Availability depends on each provider's account and permissions.
Does Kadaleo run classes and rentals?
Yes. Classes and tours are sessions with places that a group can book together, and rentals are booked by the day or the night.
Can I move my client list?
You can add or import customers, and import and export contacts as CSV.
