What It Is

Booked Up is an appointment-booking app service from Antistatique, a team based in Lausanne, Switzerland. It is positioned as a branded mobile booking app for businesses, allowing customers or prospects to book services via iPhone and Android smartphones. Rather than a fully self-service standard SaaS product, it is closer to a customized mobile booking solution.

Core Features and Integrations

The product emphasizes “dual personalization.” First, on the design side, app buttons and the home screen can be customized to match a company’s visual identity. Second, on the functional side, the booking flow is built around the company’s services and requirements. Booking data is synchronized and automatically backed up; businesses can modify or correct appointments without losing records. Booked Up is based on Google Calendar, and the text states that businesses do not need to change their existing habits—they can continue using electronic calendars such as Outlook, iCal, SunBird, and Google Agenda. Once a customer makes a booking, the appointment is also automatically added to their personal calendar, while the business receives a new-booking notification and can access customer information and statistics.

Pricing and Service

The public price is CHF 50/month per calendar, covering app hosting and support. Implementation fees are charged separately and depend on specific requirements, including app personalization and publication to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The Lausanne team handles adaptation, follow-up, and maintenance, with an emphasis on Swiss Made and local support.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a high degree of branding, making it suitable for service businesses that want their own standalone mobile app; calendar-based synchronization, which keeps the learning curve relatively low; and the ability for customers to book outside business hours, helping reduce phone communication. Limitations include the lack of disclosed information on a free trial, permission management, APIs, data security compliance, and detailed integration capabilities. Implementation costs are not transparent, and the per-calendar monthly pricing means costs need to be calculated carefully for multi-location or multi-staff scenarios.

Best Fit and Access from China

Booked Up is better suited to appointment-driven local businesses in Switzerland or Europe, such as beauty services, consulting, clinics, training providers, and retail service locations—especially customers that value a branded app and hands-on customization. The text does not provide information on access from mainland China. Since it depends on ecosystems such as Google Calendar, the App Store, and Google Play, use in China may face network and app distribution adaptation issues. If the primary target audience is Chinese customers, alternatives such as WeCom, mini-program booking, Tencent ecosystem tools, or local scheduling and appointment-booking tools may be more appropriate.
