What it really costs as the team grows

| 2 | €14.99 | €19.99 | Saves €60 |

- BUK's €15.99/month Pro plan requires annual billing. Month to month it starts at €19.99 plus €5 per extra collaborator; agend.pt Pro month to month is €17.99 and stays cheaper at every team size.
- To embed booking on your own site, BUK requires Pro+ (€25.99/month annual, plus €4 per extra collaborator). On agend.pt the widget is included in Premium and Pro.
- BUK currently promotes three months of Pro for the price of one. The promotion lowers the first quarter; after that the table prices apply.
- If you don't need SMS, agend.pt Premium is €11.99/month, or €9.99/month annually, also with unlimited staff.
- Certified invoicing: on BUK it is an optional Pro+ module. On agend.pt, Premium and Pro connect your InvoiceXpress or FIZ account, a separate subscription you pay to that provider, so we don't compare the total cost of invoicing.

Why professionals choose agend.pt
-
Flat price, no per-seat billing
agend.pt Pro is €17.99/month, or €14.99/month annually, with unlimited staff. On BUK, every collaborator beyond the first adds €4/month annually or €5/month monthly.
-
Cheaper on either billing period
Annual against annual, agend.pt Pro is €14.99/month and BUK Pro is €15.99/month for a single collaborator. Month to month it is €17.99 against €19.99. The gap widens with every person who joins the team.
-
Annual billing is optional
BUK's advertised €15.99/month requires annual billing; month to month it is €19.99. On agend.pt annual billing is optional: pay monthly from €11.99 and cancel whenever you want.
-
Widget without moving up a tier
The website widget is included in agend.pt Premium. On BUK, website embedding is exclusive to Pro+.
-
Counter-proposal workflow
When a time doesn't work, propose an alternative. The customer accepts or declines with one click.
-
No-show tracking
Mark missed appointments, see how often each client missed, and win back those who missed from a dedicated queue.
-
An assistant that runs the agenda for you
Say "book a haircut for Pedro tomorrow at 10" or "close on Mondays" and it prepares the change, shows you exactly what will happen and saves it when you confirm. Understands European Portuguese, by voice or text, included in Pro.
