How is Planoora different from a salon calendar or an experiences app?
Planoora is an all-in-one booking marketplace and business platform. You are not limited to beauty appointments in a store. Run staff bookings, shared resources, home services, multi-day stays, events and ticket sales from one calendar, one Store and one consumer app. Greece is our launch market today, but the product is built for global expansion with 10+ languages.

Platform comparison: common questions
Direct answers for teams selling appointments, events, stays, home services and more.
Is Planoora only for salons and beauty businesses?
No. Planoora supports beauty and wellness, but also fitness, events, education, home services, travel and stays, pet care, photography and other booking models. One platform covers appointments, resources, packages, events with tickets and range bookings.
How is Planoora different from Fresha, Booksy or SimplyBook?
Those tools focus mainly on appointment scheduling for specific verticals or widgets on your site. Planoora is a broader marketplace and operations platform: events and ticket sales, range bookings, home services, client benefits, Store pages and consumer app discovery in one system.
Does Planoora compete with Airbnb?
Planoora covers overlapping ground for experiences, stays and local services, but with full business operations behind each listing: calendars, payments, staff, resources, tickets and your own Store. It is closer to an all-in-one booking marketplace than a listing-only site.
Can I sell event tickets on Planoora?
Yes. Partners can publish events and sell tickets through Planoora with the same payment and booking infrastructure used for appointments and packages.
Is Planoora only available in Greece?
Greece is our primary launch market and onboarding focus today. The product already supports 10+ languages and is built to expand internationally as partners join new regions.
What are client benefits on Planoora?
Planoora includes client-side benefits designed to reward repeat use of the app and bring businesses more returning bookings over time, not just one-off marketplace traffic.
