Artichoke Pricing, Features, Reviews & Comparison of Alternatives

Pros
It's dependable and customer service is excellent. Any time I have had questions they were quick to respond.

Cons
If a new client is booking the same time as another client-they believe it just went through because they don't realize if they actually got the appt they would get a confirmation email.

Pros
I love that my clients can book online. It keeps track of my referrals, gift certificates, client history, and goals.

Cons
It doesn't run very fast. Has a lot of glitches. Most of the time I have to write down when my client would like to rebook and finish after they've left so they don't have to wait forever. Also so I can move on to my next client. I wish I could set up a clean up time to the end of my services and customize those clean up times. Since I need more for a Stone Massage or body wrap than a quick 30 minute massage. I would also like to be able to pay for two clients on one ticket. My hope is that this software will get better with time.

Pros
It was offered as an add-on for my practice insurance at a reduced rate

Cons
Have been waiting for days for a response to a simple but critical function of adding a tip to a transaction. As a company that gets a break on each transaction I make, forcing me to make more transactions per customer (i.e. not offering a tip function on certain sales) is egregious. There is no call back and the most rudimentary response to a critical issue is inexcusable. Do not use this service. They were hawking me for investment in the company within my first months with the service - not a good look. Stay away.

Pros
User friendly! Clients love it. Customers find online booking easy to use. Fits within my budget. Great notation system.

Cons
No app :( Doesn't show all info I need from intake. Not sure how I can limit online Booker's to only x amount a day but that's a matter of asking I'm sure.

Pros
Very easy to set up and use. Did not take a ton of time to do. Love the ability to upload clients into the system.

Cons
I don't really see a ton of negative things with this software. I guess the only thing I would like the ability to see a report on the notifications. being sent out.
