BookingKoala alternative for home service pros
Zippy Pro vs BookingKoala
BookingKoala is online booking and business-management software for service companies: booking forms, a website builder, scheduling, invoicing and customer and provider dashboards.
Zippy Pro is the app for home-service pros: customers book and pay on zippydoes.com, Zippy prices the job and gathers the details, and you claim the job with one tap and get paid when you finish — for $2/mo, deducted from the first job you complete each month — nothing in a month you don’t work.

Which one is right for you?
BookingKoala is probably the right call if…
- •You run a branded company site and want the booking form to live on it
- •You manage a team of 15 to 50 providers under your own brand
- •You work outside the area Zippy serves today
Zippy Pro is the right call if…
- •You want work, not software — you’d rather clean, mow or haul than configure forms
- •You’d like your customers to book and pay without you quoting first
- •You want new customers in your area to show up on your map alongside your own
Using both
You don’t have to choose on day one. Keep BookingKoala if it’s working, give your customers your personal Zippy link, and let Zippy price, book and collect for the jobs that come through it. Those jobs are reserved for you first, and new Zippy customers in your area show up on your map too. Zippy charges nothing in a month you don’t complete a job.
Questions pros ask about BookingKoala and Zippy Pro
How much does BookingKoala cost compared with Zippy Pro?
BookingKoala’s plans run $27, $57 and $197 a month, with larger plans from $237 to $597, before tax. Zippy Pro costs $2 a month, deducted from the first job you complete each month, and nothing in a month you don’t work.
Does Zippy Pro give me a booking page like BookingKoala?
Zippy gives you a personal share link and QR code. Your customers book on zippydoes.com, see your open time slots and pay up front; Zippy prices the job for them, so there is no form to build.
Can I keep BookingKoala and use Zippy Pro too?
Yes. Many Pros keep their existing tools while they move customers over. Zippy charges nothing in a month you don’t complete a job, so trying it costs nothing.
Does Zippy send me leads?
No, and that is the point. Customers book and pay before a job reaches the map, so every job you see is real, funded work you can claim with one tap. Jobs booked through your own link are reserved for you first.
