All Gold-tier features with no monthly subscription. Accept up to 50 bookings a month with no payment required, then unlimited paid bookings with a small customer fee. Busy month? Quiet month? Your cost is always the same: zero.
No credit card required. No contracts. No catches.
No fixed monthly cost means no stress when bookings dip. Busy season or quiet week — you never have to worry about covering a subscription.
Each month you can accept up to 50 bookings that don't require a payment — no deposit, no prepayment, no fee to anyone. Ideal for walk-in style reservations where you just need a name and a time.
Beyond your 50 free bookings, accept unlimited additional bookings. These bookings must require a payment (deposit or full prepayment). A small fee is added to the customer's transaction — you receive the full booking value.
With a subscription, you pay the same whether you take 10 bookings or 500. With Free Forever, your cost is always £0. Quiet January? No bill. Packed December? Still no bill. The fee-based model means you never have to worry about covering software costs during slow periods.
Each month you can accept up to 50 bookings that don't require any payment. After that, additional bookings need a deposit or prepayment attached.
Once you've used your 50 no-payment bookings for the month, every additional booking must include a payment — either a deposit or full prepayment. This is how the Free Forever plan works without charging you a subscription: the small booking fee is collected from the customer's payment at checkout.
Bookings with no payment attached are only available within your 50 monthly allowance. If you'd prefer to accept unlimited no-payment bookings, our paid plans remove this requirement entirely.
Your customers already expect small service fees when booking online. Here's what they'd pay on a £40 booking across different platforms.
Based on publicly available pricing as of 2026. On a £40 booking, your customer pays just 80p with BookingNinja.
