Having already purchased the Bookafy deal last year, I was reluctant to really get another "booking solution," but I decided to give it a try and then refund if there was really no noticeable difference...

I'm glad I did. While you can argue the two services "basically do the same thing," the user experience interface is worlds apart with BLAB.

I made a test page on my website to compare an embedded Bookafy calendar vs a BLAB calendar, and the Bookafy calendar is just awkward and cumbersome to schedule with.

In contrast, the BLAB calendar is minimalistic and clean with a very simple selection process for the desired appointment time.

What I found even more appealing was the notification emails that were sent out, and not just the professional image they represented but the ease in which it would allow for a client to reschedule or cancel if needed.

In fact, I liked what I saw so much that I did decide to double stack the offer in order to get the custom domain (so I can use my own domain for scheduling) as well as the removal of the rather in your face BLAB branding (which could be toned down a bit for those who are still in fact paying customers vs free users)

I do look forward to future updates based on the comments from the BLAB team on their roadmap, tho I must say I wasnt overly a fan of the sudden shift to requiring past buyers to have to purchase another two deals into order to remove branding from their existing purchases...

I'm pretty sure from a "positive review / happy customer base" standpoint it wouldnt have been that hard to upgrade past Sumolings to the Venti plan... but ah well... I do understand the new to fund future growth for the company with these deals... but I can see how it would leave a bitter taste in the mouths of many Sumolings...

Hopefully, this is not going to be the approach moving forward in future years should BLAB return to Appsumo again with more deals.

All in all, I'm content with this offer. Just my 2 cents!
