"We piloted the Free plan with our check-up appointments only. In two months online booking had taken enough calls off reception to justify Starter, with its automatic reminders, for the whole clinic. Nobody had to sign anything to start."
Free booking software for dental clinics: online appointments at €0, no catch
Test online booking in your dental clinic without a budget line: the Free plan costs €0 with no time limit and includes 24/7 online appointments, a calendar and records for up to 50 patients. Automatic reminders arrive with Starter when you are ready.
No credit card · Cancel anytime · Unlimited bookings
Trying online booking should not require a purchase order
Many dental clinics know they lose appointments every day the phone is busy, but adopting software means convincing whoever signs the invoices. So reception keeps confirming appointments one by one and the "we should try online booking" plan stays parked for another quarter.
The "free" options do not help: trials that expire in two weeks — too little for a clinic to change habits — or booking marketplaces that charge per patient, which quickly costs more than any subscription.
A €0 plan with no time limit changes the conversation: you can pilot online appointments at no cost, measure the drop in calls, and only then move to Starter (€29/month), which adds automatic reminders, or Pro (€79/month) for the whole team.
What the Free plan includes for your clinic
Online appointments 24/7 — at €0
A clinic-owned booking link for Google, your website and social media. The patient picks the visit type and a free slot without going through reception.
Patient records, free
Up to 50 patients with their appointment history in one place, included in the €0 plan: enough to run a real pilot with one professional.
Visit types with real durations
Check-up, cleaning, filling, emergency… each visit type with its duration, so a 15-minute check-up never takes the slot of a long treatment.
No time limit, no card
The pilot decides when it ends, not a countdown. Sign up with an email, no card, and keep the Free plan for as long as it serves the clinic.
A calendar reception can trust
Appointments in one shared online calendar instead of notes around the desk — reachable from any computer or phone in the clinic.
Starter and Pro for the whole team
When the pilot works, Starter (€29/month) adds automatic email reminders and up to 3 professionals, and Pro (€79/month) adds unlimited professionals and locations, with a 14-day free trial.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes, and honestly so: the Free plan costs €0, has no time limit and asks for no card. It includes your online booking page, the calendar and client records (up to 50 clients) for 1 professional. It does not include everything — automatic reminders, more staff and more locations live in Starter (€29/month) and Pro (€79/month). We earn money when clinics outgrow Free and upgrade, not by selling data or charging commissions.
What is the difference between Free, Starter and Pro?
Free (€0) covers the essentials to get started: online booking 24/7, your calendar and client records for 1 professional (up to 50 clients). Starter (€29/month) adds automatic email reminders, up to 3 professionals, unlimited clients and removes the BookingForNow branding from your booking page. Pro (€79/month) is for teams with more staff and several locations. You can start on Free and switch plans whenever you want.
What exactly does the Free plan include for a dental clinic?
Online appointments 24/7 with your visit types and their real durations, a calendar and records for up to 50 patients, for 1 professional — at €0, with no time limit and no card. Automatic reminders, more professionals and more locations belong to Starter (€29/month) and Pro (€79/month). For the full feature tour, see our booking software for dental clinics page, linked below.
Is there an appointment app for dental clinics?
Yes — with nothing to download: BookingForNow works as a web app on any phone or computer, with no installs and no updates to keep up with. You manage your calendar from the browser and your patients book from your business link.
Do I need a card for the free trial?
No. The 14-day trial does not ask for a credit card. You create your account with your email, set up your services and hours, and decide at the end whether to continue. If you do not, you are charged nothing.
Do you charge a commission per booking?
No. BookingForNow has flat pricing: you pay your monthly or yearly plan and bookings are unlimited within your plan. We take no percentage per booking or per new client, unlike marketplaces that charge 20-25% commission.
