Booqinq review
A flexible booking platform with nail-specific workflows and strong automation options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Booqinq is an online booking and client-management platform for nail studios and other appointment-based service businesses. Its workflow covers branded booking pages, multi-staff scheduling, employee availability rules, nail-specific service menus, automated reminders, client records, walk-in queues, deposits, and Stripe payment processing. It suits independent nail technicians, growing salons, and multi-location operators that want scheduling, client history, payments, and automation in one web-based system.
The pricing structure starts with a Free plan at €0 per month, billed monthly. It includes a booking page, unlimited staff, unlimited bookings, a website builder, and 500 email reminders per month. Solo costs €21 per month when billed annually or €25 monthly, adding a custom domain, payments and deposits, full CRM, and WhatsApp, SMS, and voice credits. Pro costs €57 annually or €69 monthly, adding no Booqinq branding, AI rebooking, packages and memberships, and SDK/API access. Business costs €107 annually or €129 monthly, adding multi-location support, an AI phone agent, MCP, webhooks, and priority support. A 14-day Pro trial is available for paid signups, while the Free plan requires no card. Prices exclude VAT or sales tax.
Integration and platform fit are central strengths. Booqinq connects with Stripe, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar, iCal, WhatsApp, HubSpot, and AgencyAnalytics, while its web, API, export, webhook, and MCP options support broader workflows. Packages, memberships, gift cards, stored-value features, deposits, card-on-file payments, and cancellation policies extend beyond basic appointment booking. Salons seeking core scheduling and client management can start free, while automation-heavy or multi-location businesses have clear upgrade paths. Smaller operators may find the higher-tier automation unnecessary, and businesses that need advanced capabilities should compare the plan boundaries before choosing.
