rezervaya vs Setmore
Setmore has a free plan, but its own policy leaves Costa Rica out of SMS reminders, its payment processors do not operate here, and there is no WhatsApp or SINPE.

What actually matters for a business in Costa Rica: charging in colones, no per-booking commission, and support that speaks your language. Every row is verified against each platform's public information.

Comparison verified in August 2026 (Agendé in September 2026). Other platforms' prices and features can change; each card links to their official information.
WhatsApp is included free in your 14 day trial. After the trial it is included on Pro and Unlimited and an optional add-on at ₡4,900 a month on Essential, and your booking page keeps its WhatsApp button either way.
Fair is fair: here is what Setmore genuinely does well.
A real free plan (unlimited appointments for up to 4 users, email reminders only); the Pro plan costs 12 dollars per user per month, or 5 paying yearly. The catch: its own policy excludes Costa Rica (+506) from SMS reminders, so the paid plan's flagship feature never reaches your clients.
Where it shines
Its free plan is real and generous to start with, and its booking page exists in many languages. For no-frills scheduling on no budget, it does the job.

rezervaya is built for Costa Rica: it reminds by WhatsApp and email (Setmore's SMS never reaches +506 numbers per its own policy), charges in colones, and takes direct SINPE deposits. Setmore is a global scheduler; rezervaya is the country's rails.
Email only. Its own SMS policy lists Costa Rica (+506) among the countries SMS reminders cannot be sent to, and WhatsApp does not exist in Setmore. In other words: paying for Pro does not make reminders reach your clients' phones.
Hard: its payment integrations are Square, Stripe, PayPal and LawPay, and neither Stripe nor Square accepts Costa Rican businesses per their own country lists, while LawPay serves law firms in the United States. With rezervaya you charge in colones and take SINPE Móvil deposits straight to your account.
