BookingKoala alternative — FAQ

Is Claver a good alternative to BookingKoala?
Yes, especially if you need more than booking. BookingKoala is booking-first. Claver does online booking, recurring plans, and customer self-signup and adds a full field-dispatch board, card payments, a built-in phone, and job costing. Pricing is $19/mo (Starter), $39/mo (Crew), and $79/mo (Business) — flat seat buckets, no free tier. BookingKoala Solo is $27/mo and Growth is $67/mo.
Does Claver do recurring and online booking like BookingKoala?
Yes. Claver includes an online booking widget with live slots, recurring service plans, and customer self-signup. On top of that it runs the rest of the job — dispatch, in-field management, invoicing, and payments — so booking and fulfillment live in one place.
Can I import my data from BookingKoala?
Yes. Export your customers and bookings from BookingKoala as CSV and upload them in Claver's import wizard, which maps the columns for you. Most businesses finish in 20–30 minutes.
Do my payments come with me if I use Square or another processor?
Yes. Claver runs payments through Stripe Connect, so you create a free Stripe account and connect it in about two minutes — money goes straight to your own bank, and ACH runs at 0.8%. Your Square history stays in Square; Claver handles new invoices, deposits, Tap to Pay, and recurring billing going forward. Prefer to keep collecting in Square for now? You still get the full app and mark invoices paid in Claver. We don't yet plug into Square or PayPal directly — if that's a dealbreaker, tell us.
Does Claver charge extra for multi-language?
No. Claver includes multi-language (Spanish) customer surfaces on the Business plan at $79/mo. Email and SMS marketing campaigns are coming soon on Business — no extra charge when they ship. With BookingKoala, multi-language and campaigns are part of the Premium plan at roughly $197/mo.
Can Claver do the online booking BookingKoala is known for?
Yes. BookingKoala is a polished booking-first platform, and Claver covers that same online booking and recurring-scheduling workflow — live pricing, customer self-signup into recurring billing, and a customer portal. On top of it, Claver adds drag-and-drop dispatch, GPS, route optimization, card and ACH payments, and a built-in phone line with a 24/7 AI receptionist, at flat pricing from $19/mo. If you want booking plus everything that happens after the booking, that is where Claver pulls ahead.
