Which to pick
Checkfront suits businesses that are happy at $99 a month plus 3% online, with an API at no extra fee. daybooked suits businesses that want to start at $0, pay a flat monthly price with no percentage on online bookings, and connect an AI agent through MCP.
daybooked is deliberately small: classes, private sessions and rentals, a booking page and widget, card payments through Stripe on Pro, and the API and MCP server. If you need more than that, compare feature lists before you switch.
