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.

Eight webhook events cover booking creation, confirmation, rejection, cancellation, rescheduling, attendance and two subscription events.

Both automate. Compare the actual events.
Meety documents booking-created, updated, cancelled and rescheduled webhooks. Cowlendar additionally documents attendance changes, subscription creation and failed subscription billing among its eight events. That gives you specific triggers to evaluate for a CRM, class-pass business or billing follow-up.
Meety’s API appears on its $47 Enterprise upgrade. Its webhook guide uses the older “Premium” plan name, so confirm the current tier with Meety. Cowlendar’s API and webhooks are beta; verify access and endpoint requirements with our team.

MAKE THE SWITCH WITH CONFIDENCE
Bring your hardest booking to the trial.
Meety's free plan is worth checking for a team needing basic capacity and notifications. Build one complete service before comparing paid features; confirm any service-count limits with support.
For packs, subscriptions and Google Calendar, compare Starter with the Cowlendar revenue tier your store would actually use. If deposits are essential, move the Meety comparison to Enterprise.
If you depend on automated messaging, test the timing, sender, cancellation links and opt-in requirements. A long integration list is useful only when the actions you need work on your selected plan.
Your questions, answered.

Is Cowlendar cheaper than Meety?
