Bookings

Booking software for coaches

Clients book sessions from your link in bio, pay upfront by card or transfer and get reminder emails, so fewer sessions are missed.

Start free

Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.

Fill your calendar from your bio

Coaching clients usually find you on Instagram or WhatsApp. The quicker they can book and pay, the more of them turn into sessions.

startbuddi gives you a booking page and a link in bio that points to it. Clients choose a session, pay upfront through Paystack or Stripe and get reminder emails. Programmes can be sold as monthly subscriptions.

  • Single sessions and discovery calls.
  • Payment upfront, so no-shows still pay.
  • Link in bio with your booking button.
  • Monthly coaching plans with automatic renewals.
