Free salon booking & appointment scheduling software — no card, no trial clock.
Looking for a free scheduling app that actually stays free? TextBook lets clients book and confirm right in the text thread they already use — with 24-hour reminders that stop the no-shows draining your week. Start on the free plan and never touch a card.
Free forever — up to 20 bookings a month. No credit card, no expiry. Need more? Unlimited bookings start at $9/mo, only when you're ready.

Booking by text
Cost to start
$0
No spreadsheet to upload, no data to migrate, no point-of-sale to figure out — and no card to enter.
Drop one "book me by text" link into your social profile. That's the whole setup.
They tap it, reply with a number, and lock a slot — no app to download, nothing new to learn.
A simple screen shows the dollars you saved this week from no-shows a reminder prevented.
Clients reply to a text to lock a slot, all inside the thread they already message you in. Every message also quietly offers them their own booking link — so happy clients bring you new stylists for free.
One number, front and center: the dollars you kept this week because a reminder or deposit stopped a no-show. It turns "this might help" into "this already saved me $60."
Paste a single link into your profile and text it to your contacts. Clients opt themselves in within a day. No import, no spreadsheet, no manual entry.
Not a 14-day trial. Not free-until-you-need-the-good-part. The free plan takes real bookings, sends real reminders, and shows real money saved — for $0, up to 20 bookings a month, with no card on file. When your book outgrows 20, unlimited starts at $9/mo — a choice you make later, never a wall you hit today.

"I wanted a free scheduling app and kept hitting trials that wanted a card. This one just… stayed free. Clients text, pick a slot, done — and I kept about $90 my first week."

Solo stylist · Austin, TX
"Every other salon booking software wanted me to import a client list and learn a dashboard. This is just my text messages. My regulars book without downloading anything."
Devon T.
Barber · Chicago, IL
"The free plan carried me the whole time I was part-time — no card, no pressure. The 24-hour reminder alone cut my no-shows roughly in half."
