bookme Hands-On Review (2026): Scheduling, Payments, Webinars & AI Assistants (MCP)

bookme is brandID’s scheduling and booking app. You publish event types, such as a 30 minute intro call, and people pick a time from your availability. bookme checks your calendar, adds the video link, takes payment if you charge, sends reminders and records how each meeting ended. It also runs webinars. New this autumn is an AI Assistants (MCP) page that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and other apps work inside your account under rules you set.

This is a long, screenshot-heavy review. We walk through the app in sidebar order, then spend a full section on AI assistants, which is the most different part. For each area we say what it does, what it costs, where the limits are and what is unclear. A few places in the app and Help Center disagree, and we name them.

About this review
bookme is made by brandID, the company that publishes this blog, so treat this as a first-party review. The screenshots come from a real Starter (free) test account. Names, emails and the username are masked, and some lists are empty because we created nothing for the review. Nothing was published or sent for this review beyond what the pages show. Every feature, limit and price below comes from the bookme app and Help Center as we saw them in October 2026, and the Upgrade plan page is our source for plans and prices. Where we could not check something, or where two sources disagree, we say so.

Key Takeaways

Key Takeaways
  • What it is: a browser-based scheduling app from brandID with event types, availability, meetings, webinars, paid bookings and teams.
  • Free plan: Starter is $0 with 10 bookings a month, 1 connected calendar and unlimited solo events. Extra bookings cost $1 each.
  • Paid plans: Pro is $2.99 a month and Elite is $11.99 a month. Annual billing saves up to 33%. Fees on paid bookings depend on plan and gateway.
  • AI assistants: one address connects Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT and other MCP apps. You pick View only, View and manage or Custom, and risky steps need your yes.
  • Unclear spots: team events depend on your plan, and the Webinars counters read oddly on Starter. We flag each one.
  • Limits: our account is Starter, so we saw no paid bookings, payouts or real invitees. We cannot vouch for results.

What Is bookme?

bookme sits between your calendar and the people who want your time. You set weekly hours and add event types. Each event type has a link. An invitee opens it, sees only the times that are really free, answers a short form and books. bookme writes the booking to your calendar, adds a video link, sends confirmation and reminder emails and lists the meeting on your dashboard. Afterwards you mark what happened, and bookme can send a follow-up.

The sidebar holds the whole product: a big Create button, then Events, Team Events, Meetings, Webinars, Availability, Organization, Contacts, Records, Reminder Workflows, Question Forms, Landing Templates, Integrations, AI Assistants, Earnings, Embed, Upgrade plan and Settings. Your page lives at bookme.brandid.app/book/your-username. bookme offers no custom domains.

The official bookme Help Center has a guide for every screen below, and we link to each where it fits. If you are still choosing a tool, our best appointment scheduling software guide gives the wider market view.

Key Features of bookme

1. Account setup and the dashboard

You can create your bookme account with Google or an email. Email sign-up sends a 6-digit code, and a password is optional. Starter asks for no phone number, card or ID. You then claim a username of 3 to 30 characters, which becomes your booking link.

A short onboarding wizard pre-fills a first event type and leaves you with one live event and a default schedule, which is all a link needs. A Getting Started checklist stays open on the right and suggests six steps. You can see it in every screenshot here. One tip from the guide: book yourself as a test from a private window. A test booking is real and sends real email, so use an address you can open.

2. Event types and the Create event wizard

The Events page is titled Events & Scheduling, with Event types and Archived tabs and list or grid views. Each card shows duration, location, whether it is 1-on-1 or Collective, price and badges such as Co-host (rotating) or a form name. Each also has an eye icon to preview, a Copy link button and a three-dot menu.

bookme Events page in list view showing event types with duration, location, 1-on-1 or Collective, price badges, Copy link buttons and the Event types and Archived tabs
Figure 2. The Events page: event types with duration, location, price and badges, plus Copy link.

Our test account had four event types and three archived ones. Archiving removes an event from your page and keeps its bookings. To create an event type, press + Create. The wizard has five steps: Type & name, Details, Availability, Questions and Review. A What invitees see card updates as you type.

bookme Create event dialog at step one of five with the event name field, Just me and My team options, Free or Paid choice and a What invitees see preview card
Figure 3. Create event, step 1 of 5: name, Who runs this event, Free or Paid, and the live preview.

We stopped at step 1, because going further saves a draft. The rest comes from the Help Center. Details sets the description, duration and location (Google Meet, Zoom, brandID Meet, Phone call or In person). Availability picks the schedule and the booking window, from 1 to 730 days ahead. You can also cap bookings per day and add buffers. Questions adds a form. Review ends with Publish event, which shows your link, embed snippets, a QR code and share buttons.

3. Team events, co-hosts and rotating hosts

Team Events lists collective events where several hosts attend one booking, and it is where co-host invitations arrive. Ours shows two pending invitations and two collective events with their hosts and rotating pools.

bookme Team Events page with an Upgrade to Pro button, two pending co-host invitations with Accept and Decline buttons and a list of collective events with Copy and Manage buttons
Figure 4. Team Events: Upgrade to Pro, pending invitations and collective events with Manage.

When someone invites you, you answer a co-host invitation with Accept or Decline. After you accept, the event shows a Co-host badge, and your bookings for it get a Co-host chip on Meetings. The guide says co-hosts can be on any plan.

To create a team event, choose My team under Who runs this event. The Help Center describes three styles: everyone attends, take turns, and a required group plus a rotating pool. Invited hosts stay Pending until they accept, and publishing sends the invitation emails.

Now the conflict. The Create event dialog marks My team with a PRO badge and says it is available on Pro and Elite. The Pro card says none of collective, group and rotating event types are included, while the Elite card lists them as unlimited. Both cannot be fully right. Team events depend on your plan, so check the Upgrade plan page and the dialog in your own account before you rely on them.

4. Availability schedules and days off

Availability has Schedules and Date Overrides tabs. Each schedule card shows a time zone, how many events use it and the weekly hours, with Edit, Dup and Del buttons. The first one is called Default and is the fallback for events with no schedule.

bookme Availability page with Schedules and Date Overrides tabs and a Default schedule card showing weekly hours and Edit, Dup and Del buttons
Figure 5. Availability: the Default schedule card with its time zone, event count and weekly hours.

To set your weekly hours, edit the card. Each day can be on or off with several time windows, so lunch is a gap between two windows. Each schedule has its own time zone, separate from Settings, so check both if times look an hour off. Buffers and notice are set per event.

bookme New Schedule dialog with a name, time zone, a Set as default schedule checkbox and per-day hours with Add time window and Copy to all buttons
Figure 6. New Schedule: name, time zone, default checkbox and per-day hours.

For one-off changes, block a day off with a date override. A blocked day applies to every schedule and event. If it cuts across existing meetings, bookme lists them and lets you reschedule, cancel or keep each one. There is no date range, so a week away means one override per day.

5. Meetings: filters and outcomes

Meetings lists every booking you are part of, split into Upcoming and Past. Status chips are All, Confirmed, Cancelled, Completed and Pending payment. Outcome chips are Any, Met, No-show, I missed it and Rescheduling. Our guide to find and filter meetings adds that the list shows 20 bookings per page, with no event type or date filter yet.

bookme Meetings page with Status and Outcome filter chips, Upcoming and Past tabs and an empty state reading Nothing coming up
Figure 7. Meetings: Status and Outcome filters and Upcoming and Past tabs. Ours is empty.

Open a row for the invitee’s answers, notes, hosts, guests and payment, and for Reschedule, Cancel and Refund. Rescheduling and cancelling email the invitee. After a meeting you record a meeting outcome from a check-in email, the Just ended band or the booking details. Each opens a window showing the follow-up email before anything is saved, and a switch lets you save without emailing.

6. Webinars and registrants

A webinar is one session at a fixed time with its own attendee list and emails, unlike an event type where invitees pick any slot. The Help Center groups these pages as Webinar help articles.

bookme Webinars page with counters under the title, an Upgrade plan link, a New Webinar button and an empty state reading No webinars yet
Figure 8. Webinars: counters under the title, + New Webinar and the empty state.

Under the title, counters show webinars, emails this month and attendees per webinar. Here is a second conflict. On our Starter account they read 0 of infinity, 0 of infinity and Unlimited attendees, while the Starter card says 1 webinar, 10 attendees and 100 invite emails a month. We do not know which is right, so read the card and the counters together before a big session.

To create a webinar, press + New Webinar and choose New Webinar from Scratch or Link existing event type, which copies its title, description, cover and location. Then add a title, a day and a time. Details cover time zone, duration, meeting type and repeat patterns.

bookme New Webinar dialog with the choice between New Webinar from Scratch and Link existing event type, a Title field, a month calendar and a time field
Figure 9. The New Webinar dialog: two setup options, Title, calendar and time.

People register on a public page or you add them by email, and each registration creates a booking with a Webinar chip. To invite people to webinars, use the Attendees, Emails and Send tabs. Templates cover an invitation, a reminder and a follow-up, and bookme tracks opens, clicks and RSVPs. Sending reaches the whole list and uses your monthly invite emails, so send yourself a test first. Our guide to check your webinar limits covers each plan, and we repeat the numbers in the pricing section.

7. Reminder workflows and follow-up emails

Reminder Workflows opens a page titled Email Workflows. Each card shows a trigger, its actions, the events it covers and an ACTIVE switch. Our account had four Post-Meeting Follow-up workflows, one per outcome, all active.

bookme Email Workflows page listing four Post-Meeting Follow-up workflows with ACTIVE switches, Edit buttons and Templates and New Email Workflow buttons
Figure 10. Email Workflows: four follow-ups with ACTIVE switches, plus Templates and + New Email Workflow.

Marking an outcome triggers the matching workflow. Met thanks the invitee, and No-Show sends a gentle note with your link. Edit the wording once and every future email follows it. Our guide to post-meeting follow-up emails lists merge variables such as the invitee name and your reschedule link.

bookme New Email Workflow dialog with a name field, six triggers from Before event to Meeting outcome marked and timing chips from 15 min to 7 days
Figure 11. New Email Workflow: six triggers and timing chips from 15 minutes to 7 days.

To build an email workflow, name it, pick a trigger (Before event, After event, Event booked, Event cancelled, Event rescheduled or Meeting outcome marked), set the timing and choose the event types. A workflow that emails invitees sends real mail, so test it with your own address. Starter includes unlimited email reminder workflows, and the Elite card adds an AI builder for them.

8. Question forms

A question form adds your own questions to the booking page. You build it once and reuse it on many events.

bookme Question Forms page with a New Form button and an empty state reading No question forms
Figure 12. Question Forms: empty on our account, with + New Form.

To create a question form, press + New Form, name it and add fields.

bookme New Pre-Meeting Question Form dialog with a Form Name field, a question label, a type menu set to Short text, a required checkbox and Add Field and Save buttons
Figure 13. The New Pre-Meeting Question Form dialog: name, fields with type and Req, + Add Field.

Each field has a label, a type (short text, long text, dropdown, radio or checkbox) and a Req checkbox. Name and email are always asked. Conditional questions are not available, so keep to three or four. Answers reach you in the calendar invite, your booking email and the booking details. One oddity: Events showed a form badge while this page said No question forms. We think the form belongs to a co-hosted event’s creator, but we did not confirm that.

9. Landing templates: the look of your page

Landing Templates sets how your public page looks. A cover photo box sits on top, with 1200 by 400 recommended, and a card per template follows. The active one is marked, and Preview booking page opens it.

bookme Landing Page Templates page with a Set Cover Photo box and template cards Classic marked active, Modern Dark and Minimal, with more cards below
Figure 14. Landing Page Templates: the cover photo box and template cards, with Classic ACTIVE.

Our notes list seven templates: Classic, Modern Dark, Minimal, Showcase, Elegant, Neon and Corporate. To choose a landing template, click a card. It applies at once to your page and every event page, and nothing else changes. Hero styles look best with a cover photo.

The count is another conflict. The Help Center says twelve templates, the app showed seven, and the Pro card mentions custom branding with 100 landing page designs. We cannot reconcile these, so the count is NOT VERIFIED.

10. Integrations: calendars, video and apps

Integrations & Apps shows counters (1 active, 10 available, 4 categories on our account) and tabs for All, Connected, Calendars, Payments, Video and Apps. Chatgram and DMpro, two other brandID products, are featured on top. A note explains the bookme Payment gateway.

bookme Integrations and Apps page with counters, filter tabs for Calendars, Payments, Video and Apps and featured Chatgram and DMpro cards
Figure 15. Integrations & Apps: counters, filter tabs and the featured Chatgram and DMpro cards.

Google Calendar is the supported calendar. To connect your calendar, press Connect and approve access. Busy time then blocks slots and new bookings are written to your calendar. Outlook is shown as coming soon, and iCloud, Apple Calendar and CalDAV cannot connect. You can connect 1 calendar on Starter, 2 on Pro and unlimited on Elite.

Video is chosen per event. brandID Meet is built in and runs in the browser. Google Meet needs Google Calendar, and if that breaks, the booking gets a brandID Meet room instead. Zoom needs a one-time connection. The guide to set up video meetings covers each. A custom link, such as Microsoft Teams, is not a location option.

11. Payments and earnings

Any event can be paid. In the wizard you choose Paid, set a price and currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD or IRR) and pick how you get paid: the bookme Payment gateway, your own Stripe or your own PayPal. To create a paid event, connect your own gateway first if you want one. The bookme gateway needs neither. The invitee pays at checkout, the slot is held for about 30 minutes, and Meetings shows Pending payment until it clears. Fees are in the pricing section.

bookme Earnings page with Available balance, Total paid out and Platform fees cards all at zero and a How it works note about the bookme Payment gateway
Figure 16. Earnings: Available balance, Total paid out and Platform fees, all $0.00 here.

Earnings covers only the bookme gateway. When you read your earnings, you see three cards, then a history with date, gross amount, fee, your share and a status of Pending, Paid or Refunded. Connect Stripe for auto-transfers or request manual payouts anytime. Refunds are full only and take 5 to 10 days to show for the invitee.

12. Contacts, Records and Organization

Contacts is a people list built from your bookings. Per the Help Center and MCP tool notes, it shows name, email, meetings booked, upcoming, no-shows, cancellations and first and last meeting dates, with search and sorting. We have no screenshot, so this is NOT VERIFIED on screen. The help category is contacts, records and organization.

Records lists recordings from brandID Meet. To find your recordings, press Record in the meeting or switch on Auto-record for the event. They download as MP4 and are kept for 30 days, with a temporary share link. Zoom and Google Meet recordings stay in those tools. Which plan includes recording is not stated on the plan cards, so that is NOT VERIFIED.

bookme Records page with the subtitle Meeting recordings from brandID Meet and an empty state reading No recordings yet
Figure 17. Records: recordings from brandID Meet. Ours is empty.

Organization is a shared workspace where members keep their own pages and calendars. Ours shows three members with Member and Owner badges and a managed event. To use your Organization, invite members, group them into teams with a team page and create managed events, which are templates assigned to members. The guide lists Owner, Admin and Member roles, but we saw only Owner and Member badges. The Pro card lists Organization and Managed Events, and Elite adds unlimited seats and teams.

bookme Organization page with three member cards, Member and Owner badges, a team label and a managed event line
Figure 18. Organization: member cards with Member and Owner badges and a managed event.

13. Booking links, sharing and embeds

Your booking page lists every live event. A direct event link opens one event’s date picker. To share your booking link, use Copy link on Events or the is-live screen after publishing, which offers an email signature line. You can pre-fill a name and email in the link. Changing your username or an event slug breaks old links.

The Embed page picks all events or one event and offers Inline Embed, Popup Widget and Popup Text, each with ready-to-paste code.

bookme Embed page with an Embed for selector, a Copy direct link action, tabs for Inline Embed, Popup Widget and Popup Text and an HTML snippet with a Copy button
Figure 19. Embed: the Embed for selector, three style tabs and the HTML snippet.

To embed your booking page, paste the snippet into a custom HTML or embed block. Each style accepts an onBooked callback. Embeds do not run inside email, so link to the event there. A test booking is a real booking.

14. Settings: profile, username and contact channels

Settings has Profile, Password, Calendars and Danger tabs. Profile holds your photo (up to 5 MB), display name, username, tagline, bio, brand name and cover photo. When you update your profile, the page changes at once.

bookme Settings Profile tab with profile photo, display name, username, tagline, bio, brand name, cover photo and the start of the contact channels section
Figure 20. Settings, Profile: photo, display name, username, tagline, bio, brand name and cover photo.

Optional contact channels feed merge variables for your emails: WhatsApp, phone, Telegram, LinkedIn and website. To add contact channels, fill the ones you share, save and place the variables in a workflow sign-off. They do not appear on the page by themselves. The same page holds Timezone and Country, which drives holiday blocking.

bookme Settings lower section with contact channel fields and their merge variables, the Timezone and Country fields and a Save Changes button
Figure 21. Settings, lower part: contact channels, Timezone, Country and Save Changes.

15. Plans, usage and upgrading

The Upgrade plan page is titled Plans & Billing, with a Monthly and Annual switch and three cards: Starter (CURRENT), Pro and Elite (BEST CHOICE). Our guide to compare plans and upgrade explains each card. Pressing Start Now begins a paid subscription, so read first.

bookme Plans and Billing page with a Monthly and Annual switch and Starter current, Pro at 2.99 dollars a month and Elite at 11.99 dollars a month cards
Figure 22. Plans & Billing: the Monthly or Annual switch and the three cards.

A Usage This Month box shows Bookings, Free left and Overage. To check monthly bookings, read it. A meeting counts when confirmed or completed, in the month it starts.

16. AI Assistants (MCP): what it is and how the page works

MCP is a standard way for an AI app to connect to another product. Once connected, you can say: create a 45 minute Strategy Call on Zoom for Monday and Thursday, list tomorrow’s meetings, block next Friday, or give me a no-show report. bookme gives AI apps 67 tools in 10 areas, plus 7 ready-made commands: daily briefing, weekly review, set up an event type, record outcomes, follow up no-shows, plan time off and prepare a webinar. The Help Center groups these pages as AI Assistants help articles.

The page top shows an AI access is on badge, Connected and Actions counters and a Pause all AI access button. Below sits one address for every app, https://bookme.brandid.app/mcp, with a Copy address button and tabs for Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT and Other apps. MCP access is listed on all three plans.

bookme AI Assistants page with the AI access is on badge, Connected and Actions counters, Pause all AI access, the connector address and tabs for Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT and Other apps
Figure 23. AI Assistants: the badge, counters, Pause all AI access, the address and four tabs.

17. AI Assistants (MCP): connect Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT and more

In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, press +, choose Add custom connector, name it bookme and paste the address. Press Add, then Connect, sign in to bookme and choose access. The steps to connect Claude to bookme end with a read-only test. Free Claude plans can add one custom connector, and on Team and Enterprise an owner adds it once.

In a terminal, one command adds it. To connect Claude Code, run claude mcp add with the http transport and the address, then type /mcp and sign in. ChatGPT needs developer mode, offered on paid plans, and a connector using OAuth. Here is how to connect ChatGPT to bookme.

Any app with remote HTTP MCP support can join, such as Cursor, VS Code or Gemini CLI. The guide to connect another AI app has the pattern. An app bookme cannot identify is marked Unverified and starts at View only. You always sign in on a bookme page, never inside the AI app, and bookme emails a 6-digit code if your last sign-in is older than 10 minutes.

18. AI Assistants (MCP): the permissions you choose

Each app gets one of three levels. View only looks things up and changes nothing. View and manage can also change your own settings within limits. Custom lets you decide area by area. The guide to choose AI app permissions says changes apply on the app’s next request.

bookme Connected apps card showing Claude marked verified with area chips, the levels View and manage, View only and Custom, and View activity and Disconnect buttons, with the start of Activity below
Figure 24. Connected apps: Claude is VERIFIED, with area chips, three levels, View activity and Disconnect.

Our account had Claude at View and manage, with Organization and Reports view only. There are ten areas.

19. AI Assistants (MCP): safety levels and what an assistant can never do

The box How changes stay safe shows three levels. RIGHT AWAY covers your own settings, which are listed in Activity and mostly undoable for 30 days. ASKS YOU FIRST covers anything that reaches people. The assistant must show exactly what will happen and wait for your yes, which works once, for those details, for 10 minutes. YOUR APPROVAL covers high-impact requests that wait on the AI Assistants page.

bookme AI Assistants page showing How changes stay safe with Right away, Asks you first and Your approval, and two boxes headed What an AI can do for you and What it can never do
Figure 25. How changes stay safe, plus What an AI can do for you and What it can never do.
LevelWhat lands here
Right awayEvent types, weekly hours, days off, question forms, workflows, meeting notes, profile
Asks you firstCancel or move a meeting, an outcome that emails the invitee, remove a guest, add a few webinar attendees, change who hosts a team event, delete an unused event type
Your approvalInvite someone new, email a whole webinar list, cancel several meetings, automations that send links outside bookme, change contact links, or more than 10 people-affecting changes in an hour

Waiting requests show Approve and Reject, a badge in the sidebar and an email, at most one every 10 minutes. They expire after 24 hours. Here is how to approve an AI request. Outside links are highlighted red and never clickable. If you did not ask for it, reject it and disconnect the app.

The never list is firm. An AI app can never touch payments, plans, billing, refunds or payouts, your password, email or sign-in methods, your calendar and video connections, your organization or members, its own access, or your account. Paid meetings are never cancelled by an AI app, and prices are never changed. Text typed by invitees is marked as coming from outside.

20. AI Assistants (MCP): activity, undo, pausing and security

Activity lists every request, kept for 12 months, with filters All, Changes and Refused. Each row has a status such as DONE or ASKED TO CONFIRM, a CHANGE label, a summary and the app name.

bookme AI Assistants Activity list with rows for list actions marked Done and a co-host invitation row marked Asked to confirm with a Change label
Figure 26. Activity: DONE and ASKED TO CONFIRM rows with a CHANGE label.

Your own changes have an Undo button for 30 days. The guide to undo an AI change says bookme restores the earlier version of an event type, hours, a day off, a form, a workflow, a note, a webinar or your profile. If you edited it since, you see Undo anyway. Sent emails and moved meetings cannot be undone.

Pause all AI access stops every app until you press Resume, and keeps the connections. Our guide to pause all AI access adds that a connection lasts up to 90 days, ends after 30 unused days, and that changing your password disconnects every AI app. bookme uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, and limits are about 90 requests and 20 changes a minute.

21. AI Assistants (MCP): what to ask for

The Help Center has four task guides with paste-ready prompts. Most advise ending with: show me exactly what you will do and wait for my yes.

To run your day, ask for a briefing, open times, a day off or a moved meeting. Blocking a day never cancels booked meetings, and moving one asks first. To build events with AI, describe the event, hours, form and reminder, and expect a preview. Prices are never changed.

To record outcomes with AI, start the record outcomes command, preview each follow-up and let it draft rebooking notes for no-shows. To plan webinars with AI, have it draft an invitation and a reminder and send you a test. Adding over 10 people, or emailing the whole list, needs your approval in bookme.

These figures come from the Upgrade plan page in October 2026, which we trust over older Help Center text. Annual billing saves up to 33%, but we saw no yearly price, so we quote none. You can switch anytime and pay only prorated differences.

Platform fees on paid bookings

PlanYour own gatewaybookme Payment gateway
Starter15%20%
Pro5%20%
Elite3%20%

The bookme gateway takes 20% on every plan, so its value is convenience: no Stripe or PayPal account is needed. Your own gateway costs less. We did not check Stripe or PayPal’s own charges.

Bookings, overage and calendars

PlanBookings a monthExtra bookingConnected calendars
Starter10$11
Pro100$0.502
EliteUnlimitedNot applicableUnlimited

For example, 12 bookings on Starter is 2 over the limit, so 2 extra bookings at $1 each. The Help Center says extra bookings are billed at the start of the next month.

This table comes from the plan cards. The Webinars page counters showed infinity on our Starter account, which is the conflict described earlier.

Open questions and what we could not verify

Here is where sources disagree, as of 18 October 2026.

  • Team events. The Create event dialog says Pro and Elite, but the Pro card says no collective, group or rotating events. Check your own Upgrade plan page.
  • Webinar counters. Infinity counters on Starter versus 1 webinar and 10 attendees on the card. NOT VERIFIED.
  • Landing templates. Twelve in the Help Center, seven in the app, 100 designs on the Pro card. NOT VERIFIED.
  • Recording. The plan that includes it is not stated. NOT VERIFIED.
  • Contacts page. No screenshot. The columns come from the Help Center and MCP notes.
  • Branding. Removal of bookme branding is on the Elite card only, and what Pro branding covers is NOT VERIFIED.
  • Team seat price. No price found for extra seats. NOT VERIFIED.
  • Pro extras. Recurring paid meetings and bundle sales are listed on the Pro card. We did not test them, and we say nothing about group event seats.

We also ran no live bookings, so payment flow, payout timing and calendar sync come from the guides, not from our own tests.

How to Get Started With bookme

  • Step 1. Create an account. Sign up with Google or an emailed code and claim a username.
  • Step 2. Set your hours. Edit the Default schedule on Availability and check its time zone.
  • Step 3. Create one event type. Use the wizard, choose a location and publish when ready.
  • Step 4. Connect your calendar. Link Google Calendar on Integrations.
  • Step 5. Test the page. Open your link in a private window and book yourself with an address you can read.
  • Step 6. Share or embed. Copy the link from Events, or use the Embed page.
  • Step 7. Add an AI assistant if you want one. Copy the address, connect with View only first and widen access later.

Final Verdict

bookme is a broad, sensibly controlled scheduling app. The sidebar is clear, the wizard keeps drafts private until you publish, outcomes and follow-up emails are built in and the free plan is enough to learn the product. Paid prices are low, and fees on paid bookings fall on higher plans if you use your own gateway.

The AI assistant section is the most distinctive part. One address connects Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT and other MCP apps. You pick a level, risky steps ask first or wait for approval, Activity lets you undo changes for 30 days and one switch pauses everything. It can never touch payments, plans, passwords or calendar connections. What we cannot offer is proof from live use, and a few points are unclear, mostly team events on Pro and the Starter webinar counters. Start on Starter, build one event and read the Upgrade plan page before you pay.

Try it
Start on the Starter plan, publish one event type and test it from a private window. The bookme Help Center has a guide for every screen shown in this review.

bookme Review FAQs

What is bookme?

bookme is brandID’s scheduling and booking app. You publish event types, people pick a time from your availability, and bookme handles the calendar, video link, reminders, payment and follow-up. It also runs webinars and has an AI Assistants (MCP) page.

Is bookme free?

Yes. Starter is free and includes unlimited solo events, 10 bookings a month, 1 connected calendar and MCP access. Extra bookings cost $1 each. Pro is $2.99 a month and Elite is $11.99 a month, and annual billing saves up to 33%.

What counts as a booking?

A meeting that is confirmed or completed and starts in the calendar month. The Usage This Month box on the Upgrade plan page shows Bookings, Free left and Overage.

What are the fees on paid bookings?

With your own gateway the platform fee is 15% on Starter, 5% on Pro and 3% on Elite. With the bookme Payment gateway it is 20% on all plans, and no Stripe or PayPal account is needed.

Does bookme support team events and round robin?

Yes, but the plan rule is unclear. The Create event dialog says Pro and Elite, while the Pro card says no collective, group or rotating events and the Elite card lists them as unlimited. Check the Upgrade plan page in your account.

What are the webinar limits?

Per the plan cards, Starter has 1 webinar with 10 attendees and 100 invite emails a month, Pro has 2 webinars with 20 attendees and 1,000 emails, and Elite has unlimited webinars and attendees with 5,000 emails. Our Starter counters showed infinity, so check both.

Which calendars and video tools work?

Google Calendar is supported and Outlook is coming soon. iCloud, Apple Calendar and CalDAV cannot connect. Video can be brandID Meet, Google Meet or Zoom. Starter allows 1 calendar, Pro 2 and Elite unlimited.

Can Claude or ChatGPT use bookme?

Yes. Copy the address from the AI Assistants page, add it as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or any app with remote HTTP MCP support, sign in to bookme and choose View only, View and manage or Custom. ChatGPT needs developer mode on a paid plan.

Is the AI assistant safe?

It has layers. Changes to your own settings happen right away and most can be undone for 30 days. Anything that reaches other people asks you first, and high-impact requests wait for your approval. It can never touch payments, plans, billing, refunds, passwords or calendar connections.

How do I turn off every AI assistant?

Open AI Assistants and press Pause all AI access. Connections are kept, and Resume AI access switches them back on. To remove one app, press Disconnect on its card. Changing your bookme password disconnects every AI app.
