Planity alternative from DACH — save €40–70/month

Planity is the French market leader and active in DACH since 2022. But: €99–129 per month, a French-designed UI with clunky DE strings, multi-staff only in the Pro tier, limited Apple calendar support.

EazyBooking costs €59/month (including 5 staff), is DACH-first with a native-speaker German UI, has full Apple calendar integration, and your own domain from day one.

The best alternatives in 2026

The best Planity alternatives at a glance

Looking for an alternative to Planity? Here are the most honest options for 2026 — briefly explained, with a clear note on who each one fits. Our recommendation is at the top, followed by fair options you can compare for yourself.

  1. EazyBooking

    Our recommendationLean, not a full suite

    If you don't need a point of sale and just want clean online appointments: your own booking page on your domain, 0% commission, a fixed price of €59/month including 5 staff members — instead of Planity's €99 for the POS package. Every appointment lands as a native invite in your Apple or Google Calendar, servers in Germany, personal setup by the founder. The strongest choice for service businesses without a counter till.

  2. Planity

    Salon with POS

    Established salon software: calendar from €69, with a white-label website €79, with POS/fiscal module €99 (includes 100 SMS). A good all-in-one solution for larger salons that want appointment booking and an integrated point of sale from a single source — pricier in return than pure booking tools, and built around its own marketplace model.

  3. Treatwell

    Marketplace reach

    A beauty marketplace with its own consumer app that can bring in new walk-in customers — in return, around 35% commission on every first booking made through the platform. Makes sense if new-customer reach matters to you; less suitable if you want to keep your margin and your own brand.

  4. Shore

    Marketing & CRM

    Broad all-in-one SaaS for appointments, customer management, marketing and POS (from roughly €130/month plus fiscal module and payment fees). Strong on CRM and marketing functionality — commission-free, but one of the pricier options and with no native Apple Calendar invite.

  5. Phorest

    Larger salon chains

    Premium salon management for multiple locations and chains, with extensive marketing, loyalty programs and reporting. Very capable, but at enterprise price levels (usually three digits a month, quote-based) and overkill for a single studio.

  6. Avana

    Budget entry

    A lean, commission-free booking tool at a small flat price — a good budget entry for solo operators. Rather limited with several staff members, when you want hands-on local setup service, and when you want a native calendar invite.

What sets EazyBooking apart

Four concrete differences that matter

€40–70/month cheaper at comparable feature scope

Planity Starter starts at ~€99, Pro at ~€129. EazyBooking €59. Per year you save €480–840 — and get multi-staff, your own domain and Apple calendar sync in the base plan, which on Planity are Pro features.

Native German UI instead of French-translated

Planity's UI is designed in French. DE strings are visibly translations, some stylistically off. EazyBooking is DACH-first from day one — UI written by German native speakers, DACH customers pick up that trust signal immediately.

Apple calendar fully integrated

Planity's Apple calendar integration is limited (read-only / one-way sync). EazyBooking offers native bidirectional sync with Apple, Google and Outlook — appointments land instantly on the practitioner's iPhone, private appointments automatically block booking slots.

Multi-staff in the base plan

Planity Starter (€99) is solo only. Multi-staff from Pro (~€129). EazyBooking €59 already includes 5 staff — and offers advanced setups like per-practitioner hours, staff specializations and resource separation (treatment bed/cabin) at no upcharge.

Frequently asked questions

Switching from Planity — what you need to know

Is switching from Planity to EazyBooking worth it financially?

On Planity Starter (~€99) you save €40/month = €480/year. On Planity Pro (~€129) you save €70/month = €840/year. Plus: EazyBooking offers features that are Pro-tier on Planity (own domain, multi-staff, full Apple calendar) — you win twice: money + features.

Can I migrate customer data from Planity to EazyBooking?

Yes. Planity has a GDPR export button (legally required) — a CSV with all customer data and appointment history. EazyBooking ingests that via CSV import, realistic migration in 2–4 hours including service setup.

What about the Planity app's visibility?

The Planity app is very strong in FR, limited reach in DACH. DACH customers usually search for salon name + city directly on Google — not via the Planity app. Your own domain + local SEO is more effective long-term than marketplace dependence.

Will I lose regulars when I switch?

No, if you run an announcement email campaign. Regulars are happy to come along when you communicate clearly: "From the 15th we book via book.our-salon.com". Typically 75–85% transfer in the first 4 weeks.

Apple calendar sync — what's different at EazyBooking?

EazyBooking uses native CalDAV integration for Apple, plus Google Calendar API and Microsoft Graph for Outlook — all bidirectional. An appointment in the EazyBooking admin lands instantly on the practitioner's iPhone; a private appointment on the iPhone automatically blocks the booking slot. Planity's Apple integration is more limited (often read-only export).

How fast is the switch?

EazyBooking setup in 30 min: add services, opening hours, staff. Data migration from Planity 1–2 hours via CSV. Full takeover realistic in half a business day.

What if I'm from France but operating in the DACH market?

The EazyBooking UI is available in 7 languages (DE, EN, ES, FR, RU, TR, AR). You can set the admin language to French; your customers still see the German (or chosen) locale. Best of both worlds — no language break in the workflow.
