LemonBooking review
A broad scheduling platform for studios that also need website and finance tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LemonBooking is a web-based booking platform for dance studios, schools, community venues and other organizations that schedule classes or rent facilities. It combines online class sign-ups with capacity limits, automatic waitlists, recurring weekly or biweekly classes, memberships, payments and rental availability calendars. Organizations can also publish a website, sell event tickets with QR-code check-in and let members or parents book from phones, tablets or computers. Each system can serve up to three physical locations.
The published plans show a paid-only structure. Bronze starts at $265 per year with the LemonBooking calendar, two customizable booking forms, unlimited bookings and customers, website hosting with SSL, five staff accounts and SumUp, Stripe and PayPal payments. Silver includes everything in Bronze, then adds invoices, credit notes, Xero, Sage and QuickBooks integrations, payment reconciliation, a reporting dashboard and ten staff accounts. Gold adds bookkeeping modules, bulk invoicing, advanced reporting, auto-repeat bookings and automation rules and workflows. A 30-day free trial is available, while the higher tiers use dynamically calculated pricing.
LemonBooking is a strong fit when class scheduling needs to sit alongside website publishing, ticketing, rentals and financial administration. Its integrations cover payments, accounting and selected venue controls, while the read-only REST API provides an option for connected systems that only need access to platform data. The trade-off is a web-centered product with no free plan and a read-only API, so organizations seeking a broader application ecosystem or write-enabled API should compare alternatives. Studios that value an integrated operational toolkit should consider LemonBooking; those needing a narrower booking tool may not need its wider finance and website features.
