Which one fits you?

Spreadsheets are a good fit if…

  • You have a handful of regular clients and it all fits in your messages
  • You don't want any monthly cost right now
  • Your clients are happy to book by message or phone

Bespire is a good fit if…

  • Bookings, payments and passes are starting to take your evenings
  • You want clients to book and pay without messaging you first
  • You want every client's bookings, passes and payments in one place

Side by side

The spreadsheet column describes running things by hand with everyday tools: a spreadsheet, a notebook or stamp cards, and your phone.
