Both are free to download. Vev Booking Software sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. SimplyBook.me admin asks for nothing beyond the download.
SimplyBook.me admin holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimplyBook.me admin has 128 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of SimplyBook.me admin's written reviews are positive against 40% of Vev Booking Software's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SimplyBook.me admin ships an update every 2 months, Vev Booking Software every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
