No software to learn. No app for your customers to install. Just a link they click to book and pay.
We read your real availability from whichever calendar you use — Google or Outlook. Customers only see times you're actually free. No double-bookings, ever.
Create job types with your own deposit or trip charge. Choose appointment or window scheduling. Set up team pages if you have staff.
Text it to new customers, add it to your website, put it in your email signature. They book and pay in under 2 minutes.
SMS reminders go out automatically at 48h and 2h before each job. No-shows keep their deposit — you keep your time.
No other booking tool does all of this. Most don't do any of it.
Sign in with Google or Microsoft — your choice. Your calendar availability syncs automatically. We're the only no-show deposit tool that integrates with both. No other competitor does Outlook.
Your choice, per booking page. Appointment mode lets customers pick an exact time slot. Window mode lets them pick an arrival window (e.g. 'between 8am and noon') so you can sequence jobs by route. Switch between modes anytime.
Start as a solo operator. Add team members as you grow. GrabMySlot pulls availability from all your techs and assigns bookings round-robin. No other tool in our class does this.
We use Stripe Connect — deposits hit your Stripe account directly. GrabMySlot never holds your money. Connect an existing Stripe account or create one during setup.
Set your cancellation window. Cancel inside it — deposit stays with you. Cancel outside — automatic refund. No manual work. The policy is shown to customers before they pay.
Sign in, connect your calendar, set your job types and deposit amounts, share your link. No onboarding call, no sales process, no monthly fee unless you're collecting.
Jobber and Housecall Pro cost $59–$599/month whether you use them or not. GrabMySlot charges 3% only when you collect a deposit — and ships features they don't have at any price.

Connect whichever calendar you use. Customers only see real availability. We're the only deposit tool with both Google and Outlook integration.
Industry-standard card processing. Deposits go directly to your Stripe account — we never hold your money. Connect an existing account or create one.
Your customer gets a text 48 hours out and again 2 hours before. Fewer no-shows, zero effort on your part.
Set your own window. Customers who cancel inside it — you keep the deposit. Outside — automatic refund. No awkward conversations.
Set buffer time between appointments so you're never double-booked or scrambling to get across town.
You choose how to present the charge — as a deposit applied to the bill, or a non-refundable trip fee.
One link. Works on any device, no app download. Text it, email it, add it to your website or Google Business Profile.
See all your upcoming jobs, payment status, and earnings at a glance. Reschedule and cancel with one click.
Every SMS, email, and action is logged with timestamps. If a customer disputes a charge, you have a full paper trail.
Offer arrival windows (e.g. "between 8am and noon") instead of exact times. Customers book the block — you arrive when it suits your route.
Add team members — their Google or Outlook calendar plugs right in. Bookings are assigned round-robin. Reassign from your dashboard anytime.
Customers pick a specific time slot from your available calendar — ideal for jobs where you need to be there at a set time. Buffer time between appointments is set automatically so you're never double-booked.
GrabMySlot is built for independent tradespeople and small shops who are tired of driving 45 minutes to an empty driveway.
No monthly subscription. No setup fee. No contracts. If you're not collecting deposits, you're not paying us anything.
Plus Stripe's standard card processing fee (2.9% + 30¢). We never mark up payment processing — that fee goes directly to Stripe, not us.
Example: Customer books a $95 trip charge.
You pay $2.85 to GrabMySlot + $3.06 to Stripe = $5.91 total.
You receive $89.09 — better than chasing a no-show for $0.
