CUTE NAME. SERIOUS BOOKING ENGINE.A little more moo.
A little more moo.
A lot more you can do.
Your next offer should be a new service, not a new booking system.
Your bookings. Connected to your business.
The public API reads services and bookings, creates manual bookings and can redeem a subscription credit. Connect a custom tool or reporting workflow.
Explore the API (beta) ↗React to what happens next.
Eight webhook events cover booking creation, confirmation, rejection, cancellation, rescheduling, attendance and two subscription events.

MAKE THE SWITCH WITH CONFIDENCE
Bring your hardest booking to the trial.
Hoppy is a sensible candidate when avoiding a monthly app fee is the main requirement. Start with a real paid test appointment and verify what the customer sees after checkout.
If you already use Outlook, Teams or Apple Calendar, confirm whether the integration exports events, synchronizes busy time, or both. The presence of a logo alone does not answer that question for any app.
For a business adding bundles, recurring subscriptions or custom integrations, compare documented workflows. Cowlendar publishes a public API and webhook guide alongside its booking features; validate the beta limitations against your requirements.
Your questions, answered.
Does Cowlendar have a free plan?
Yes. Cowlendar has a free plan with all features. Usage allowances apply; the pricing page shows the limits and revenue-based paid tiers.
Is Cowlendar cheaper than Hoppy?
It depends on the features and booking revenue. Use the calculator above: it compares the lowest documented plan for your selected features and shows the assumptions, rather than comparing unrelated starting prices.
Does Cowlendar support subscriptions, an API and webhooks?
Yes. Recurring service subscriptions and bundles are supported. The public API and webhooks are documented as beta, including subscription-credit bookings and eight webhook events. Review the linked API limitations before planning an integration.
When should I choose Hoppy instead?
Merchants testing a booking offer with no advertised monthly app subscription. A free listing does not establish every operational limit or service commitment. Test reminders, calendar conflict handling and rescheduling with your theme before depending on them.
