Patch review
A focused web booking tool for independent trainers who need payments and reminders.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Patch is web-based booking, scheduling and payment software for independent personal trainers, massage therapists and other appointment-based businesses. It combines a branded online booking page with a day, week and month scheduling diary, configurable service pricing, a photo gallery and repeating bookings. Custom booking questions can collect client information before an appointment, while customer records and history keep relevant details in one place. It is aimed at solo operators and small businesses that want a straightforward way to manage appointments and payments from a phone, tablet or computer.
Pricing is available through two plans: Patch monthly costs £24.99 per month, while Patch yearly costs £249.90 per year. Both plans include unlimited bookings and customers, the online booking page, scheduling diary, Stripe deposits and card payments, QR-code payments, payment links, and text and email reminders. A 14-day trial is available, and there is no free plan. The annual option changes the billing period but does not add different listed features, making the monthly plan the more flexible choice for businesses that prefer shorter commitments.
Patch’s strongest fit is for trainers who need booking, intake, client history, reminders and payment collection in one web-based service without a broad studio-management system. Stripe is the listed integration, and payment options extend beyond standard card transactions through QR-code Scan to Pay and payment links. Businesses that need a mobile app, memberships, packages or a wider integration ecosystem should look elsewhere. For independent operators focused on appointment booking and payment administration, Patch offers a narrow, practical feature set with clear plan coverage.
