Do I need a credit card to try SchedMate?
No. The seven-day trial fully unlocks the core workspace without a card and includes 3 SchedMate AI actions. There is no automatic charge when it ends.
What happens when the trial finishes?
Nothing is charged automatically. If you want to keep going, SchedMate Pro is $29.99 per month, billed monthly, and you can cancel at any time.
Is the trial a limited version of the product?
The core workspace is not cut down: bookings, clients, invoices, payments, reports, the public booking page, Automation Hub, and Team & Access are available. SchedMate AI is capped at 3 actions during the free trial so AI provider costs stay controlled.
Will SchedMate AI message customers or change records by itself?
No. The AI assistant is read-only: it analyzes, drafts, and recommends. You review the result and decide what to do. Autopilot is a separate workflow engine that only runs the rules and channels you explicitly enable.
What counts as one AI action?
One accepted AI request — Daily Brief, Qualify Lead, Draft Reply, Summarize Customer, Find Opportunities, or a focused Ask SchedMate request. Normal work such as adding a client, creating a booking, or recording a payment does not consume an AI action.
Can I bring my team in?
Yes. Team & Access has four preset roles — Owner, Manager, Front Desk, and Service Provider — so each person gets the access their job needs. Billing and workspace ownership are never handed over by an invitation.
Can I get my data out again?
Yes. You can export your data, or delete the workspace, whenever you decide.
Does SchedMate connect to the tools I already use?
The Automation Hub sends outgoing webhook events and supports public forms and email notifications, so you can connect n8n, Make, Zapier, Slack, a CRM, or your own server.
What does Google Sign-In access?
Google Sign-In is optional. If you use it, SchedMate receives your email address and basic profile information to authenticate you. It does not request access to Gmail or Google Calendar, and SchedMate does not currently offer a Google Calendar integration. Read the Privacy Policy →
Can inquiries from my website or Facebook enter SchedMate?
Yes, through SchedMate Forms & Links. You can share a tracked SchedMate inquiry URL in Facebook or Messenger, or use the supported website form/embed flow. A regular Messenger conversation is not automatically copied into SchedMate unless you use a separately supported integration.
Is SchedMate a replacement for full accounting software?
No. SchedMate provides operational accounting-style visibility for invoices, payments, balances, expenses, and reports connected to your service workflow. Businesses with formal bookkeeping, tax, payroll, or statutory accounting needs should continue using the appropriate accounting process or professional tools alongside SchedMate.
