We started BookingNinja because we founded our own board game cafe here in England, and couldn't find an online platform that allowed us to set up that sort of business.

Since then, we've partnered many other businesses that needed booking software that offers something beyond simple table bookings. Whether you are an escape rooms, soft play, role plays and more, we are a great alternative to Bookedit.

If you're considering BookingNinja vs. Bookedit, here's how we think we set ourselves apart.

#1 - Clear, Honest Pricing Without Hidden Costs

Bookedit's pricing page sounds good to be true... everything is "free", and they'll even pay your transaction charges.

And just like most things that are too good to be true... it is!

Bookedit isn't free. It charges a fee per booking. That can get very expensive very fast if you're the type of venue that takes a lot of payments or deposits through your form, like most venues.

We move people over to us from Bookedit regularly, so can say with confidence our paid package is between 2 - 5 times cheaper -- and it's significantly more flexible. On BookingNinja, for a comparable service, our gold account is £90 a month, and charges no commission on bookings. 

Not only does that mean one simple monthly payment, it means if you get busy, or want to raise your prices, or want to take large deposits for things like parties, you aren't paying substantially more for the exact same service.

#2 - Keep Control Of Your Money & Offer More to Customers

Unliked Bookedit, when you take a booking payment through BookingNinja, the money instantly appears in your Stripe account. We don't hold your money - we don't need to, because other than your monthly subscription, we don't take any of it.

Instead, our modern booking platform uses modern solutions, integrating with Stripe so you can run refunds, deposits and card captures directly through our platform and offer highly demanded services, like Google and Apple Pay directly to your customers from day one.

#3 - Check out BookingNinja Right Now - No Need For a Sales Call

We're confident enough in our platform we don't need to jump on a sales call before you're allowed to use it -- but if you do want to chat, we'd love to do so! Register a free account with no card details, and you'll be able to access all of our features and having a booking form live in less than five minutes, so you can see for yourself if we live up to expectations without the pressure of something trying to sell you something.

#4 - Importing is Easy

You can import bookings and customers easily from Bookedit to BookingNinja. We've moved many business across to us directly from Bookedit already so you'll be in good hands.

Sometimes Bookedit may own your website making it difficult to move, but using our Sites system we can simply replicated a Bookedit site and move your domain across to us. 

We offer the initial move for our Gold customers free of charge, and after that it's only £10 to host your site with us.

#5 - Improved Customer Experience

We could try to convince you our booking process is nicer with words, but we think the best way to do that is to try using a venue that uses BookedIt, versus one that uses BookingNinja

You can go all the way to payment on both forms without making an actual booking, so don't be scared to try them out!

Which one felt better and easier to use to you?

Having a fast, attractive and easy to use booking form is vital to running a modern hospitality business. We think our forms speak for themselves, and we think your customers will think so too.
