Solovi review
A UK-focused booking platform with automated reminders, payments and calendar tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Solovi is a booking and website platform for UK service businesses, including salons, barbers, personal trainers, cleaners, pet groomers and tutors. It combines online booking, payments and staff calendars with appointment reminders sent by SMS and email. Messages can use the business name as the sender, include change-or-cancel links and target UK mobile numbers. Solovi is suited to businesses that want reminders alongside core booking tools rather than a standalone messaging service.
Pricing is structured across three paid monthly plans. Solo costs £19 per month and includes email reminders the day before, online booking and payments, one staff calendar and loyalty cards. Local costs £39 per month and adds 250 SMS texts per month, email reminders, up to three staff calendars, an own domain and gift cards. Bespoke costs £79 per month and includes 500 SMS texts per month, email reminders, unlimited staff calendars and a custom-designed website; an AI phone receptionist add-on is available. A 30-day free trial is available. Local and Bespoke also include SMS reminders sent 24 hours before appointments.
The reminder workflow focuses on practical controls: quiet hours from 9am to 9pm UK time, an SMS allowance counter, automatic email fallback after the SMS cap and opt-out handling for STOP requests. Online booking, calendars and payments make Solovi a broader fit for service businesses managing appointments in one system. It is less suitable for teams that need two-way SMS conversations or higher messaging allowances than the stated plans provide. Businesses wanting a UK-focused booking platform with structured reminders should consider Solovi; those needing conversational texting should choose an alternative.
