4 min read

Looking for a Bokadirekt alternative? Bokadirekt is the dominant booking marketplace in Sweden, with more than 15,000 businesses and 2.5 million users a month (Bokadirekt's own figures). It charges a flat monthly fee instead of a new-client commission, but the higher plans are what buy you better search placement, and the pricing page states a three-month notice period. Calendia has no marketplace and no commission, and you can cancel month to month. It does not send you marketplace traffic, though.

What does Bokadirekt cost?

According to Bokadirekt's price page for businesses (checked October 2026), SEK per month:

  • Free: 0, but not visible in search.
  • Mini: 295. Plus: 395. Premium: 695. Higher tiers buy better search placement.
  • Add-ons: cash register system from 295, journal from 199, card terminal 299, loyalty 199, Fortnox integration 170.
  • No-show fees: a 30% "success fee" on invoiced no-show amounts, charged only when the customer pays.
  • Notice period: three months.

We found no commission on new clients. The cost is the plan you need for visibility, plus the add-ons you stack on top.

What does Calendia cost?

Calendia has two billing models, and you choose one:

  • Per bookable employee: a fixed monthly price for each person who takes bookings. Staff who never take bookings are free.
  • Per completed booking: a small fee per completed appointment. Cancellations and no-shows are not charged.

There is no commission, no setup fee and no binding period. The trial includes every feature and needs no card. See current prices on the pricing page, where a calculator compares both models. Prices are shown excluding VAT.

When is Bokadirekt the better choice?

  • You want the best-known Swedish marketplace, because many customers start their search there.
  • You prefer a flat fee over a commission on new clients, and a higher plan gives you the visibility you need.
  • You need a cash register declared in Sweden. Bokadirekt POS is on Skatteverket's list of manufacturer-declared registers.
  • You want a Swedish-first system with Fortnox and a journal add-on from one vendor.

When is Calendia the better choice?

  • Your clients already find you through Instagram, Google or word of mouth, so paying for plan-based visibility does not pay back.
  • You want no notice period: month to month, no binding and no setup fee.
  • You want deposits, no-show fees, gift cards, loyalty, memberships and journals without stacking add-ons.
  • You run a clinic and need consent forms, care-team scoping and access logging next to your calendar.

How to switch from Bokadirekt
