SimplyBook.me: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

SimplyBook.me is an online booking and appointment platform for service providers of all sizes, from sole traders to large organisations, including beauty and wellness, sports, health, education and the rental of rooms or equipment. Clients book through the provider's own website, Facebook, Instagram, Google or a branded client app. The platform sends reminders by WhatsApp, SMS and email, supports online and in-person payments, deposits, gift cards, memberships and waiting lists, and integrates with tools such as Google Calendar, Outlook and Zapier. It is delivered as a web service, with apps for iOS and Android.

SimplyBook.me Ltd is based in Limassol, Cyprus, and has been part of team.blue since 2023, a European group headquartered in Ghent, Belgium. The website states that the platform is hosted in the EU; the pages consulted do not say where exactly. The software is not open source. For a European organisation this means a vendor and owner within the EU, with EU hosting according to the vendor itself.

Why digital sovereignty matters with SimplyBook.me

SimplyBook.me is headquartered in CY and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in BE, also within Europe.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so SimplyBook.me scores best on data residency.

SimplyBook.me is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs SimplyBook.me together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
