Microsoft Bookings - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Microsoft Bookings is an online booking and appointment scheduling solution for small businesses, available as part of Microsoft 365. Clients can visit the booking page whenever they want, book the time and service they need, get a confirmation email and calendar invitation, and reschedule or cancel if they must. For customers who prefer to book by phone, users can simply enter their appointment details and Microsoft Bookings sends all confirmations and reminders. Microsoft Bookings provides small businesses with a unique appointment booking webpage which allows their customers to select their desired service, appointment date and time, and which staff member they wish to see. Staff and appointment availability is updated in real time, so customers can book appointments 24/7 without needing to make a phone call or wait for confirmation that their desired time slot is available. Microsoft Bookings automatically sends out confirmation emails to customers, and users can also define when automated reminder emails are sent. Customers can also reschedule or cancel their existing bookings through the scheduling page, with users able to control how much notice is required for cancellations or changes. The centralized booking calendar in Microsoft Bookings gives users an overview of all customer appointments, with month, week, and work-week views, and a day ‘split view’ which displays staff availability for a given day. Users can manually create appointments for customers who enquire in-person or over the phone, and cancel, reschedule, or reassign existing customer appointments. Customer contact details and notes are stored in the customer list, and when a new customer makes a booking online, a new contact is automatically created for that customer. Microsoft Bookings’ mobile app allows users to manage customers, appointments, and staff availability on-the-go, and can also be used to access directions to the user’s next appointment.
