When I hit upon a problem a quick email is always responded to and questions solved by their helpful team. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the improvements that Baluu have been making so this is both a positive and a negative \!\! > > I’ve been a happy customer of Baluu for about 5 years now. They have worked hard to improve and add features which makes mine and my clients experience of bookings easier. ----- ### "Excellent booking system with 5\* support" — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *2 September 2026* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service is amazing. The team is really responsive and helpful. Baluu is a great booking system for our business. > > **Cons**: The platform is evolving fast which sometimes means there are some changes to get used to - but overall this is a positive. > > Really positive - the team are so helpful and open to ideas. They've really supported us to implement Baluu and use it effectively. ----- ### "Optimised our booking system with our customers" — 4.0/5 > **Julie** | *2 September 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to talk with online. The team understands and listen to our issues, and don't dismiss our frustrations. > > **Cons**: The chat option says it can take a few hours before you get a reply, especially if you don't contact them in the morning so you might have to wait till next day to get a reply. > > We feel supported by Baluu's team and they have optimised our booking system with our customers making it all smoother to support our customers and their bookings with us. ----- ### "Completely transformed our Art School business" — 5.0/5 > **Zena** | *23 May 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. FINALLY we can do it all in one place. We sell tickets to a daily schedule of in-person \& virtual Art Classes, we sell Art Kits globally, we sell Gift Cards, and we send invoices out for bespoke private corporate events. We used to have different plug-ins for each of these things: Mindbody for classes, Etsy for kits, GiftUp for gift cards, Xero for manual invoices. Each of these have their own monthly costs, and each system needed to be taught to our admin team one by one. Now we use Baluu: one dashboard for our whole business: one monthly cost, one system for our admin team to learn to use, and one system for me to look at for our monthly bookkeeping\! 2. SO much more affordable: Not only have we been able to consolidate lots of different subscriptions into one (Baluu), but it's a fraction of the cost. Mindbody was costing us £££s each month on its own, let alone the rest added in on top of that. 3. We can do it all ourselves: It's so easy to use, we can now manage our whole website without the need for a web developer at all. We used to spend a few hundred pounds getting someone to help us every time we needed to load up a new class, experience, product, or if our website broke - getting someone to fix it. Now we can manage absolutely everything ourselves through a super user-friendly interface, we don't spend any money on developers any more. The Baluu team feel like our in-house tech team\! > > **Cons**: Whilst you can customise each page with your own images, copy etc. you can't do things like change the page structure, change the size and shape of different components etc. But what we've lost in terms of customisation we have gained in terms of ease of use. And to be honest, the Baluu pages have been built a certain way for a reason: because they have optimised them for conversion. Sometimes less is more in that respect: just help your customer get to where they need to go: the check-out page, and keep it super simple for them to get there\! > > We met the Baluu team at a critical turning point for our business. We were about to air on Dragons Den (where we got funding from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]) and we knew that the traffic to our website was going to go nuts. Our tiny team could have never managed the tsunami of engagement that happened on our old website. All those different systems that didn't talk to each other. All the manual work we used to do to fix people's bookings and orders for them behind the scenes. We'd have fallen over. Baluu made it possible for us to handle that huge moment in our business, totally seamlessly. And the team felt like they were by our side throughout: totally committed to our shared success. Grateful is an understatement. ----- ### "Just what we needed." — 5.0/5 > **Pam** | *16 June 2022* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were at a stage where we needed help managing our growing bookings and Obby came at just the right time. We are hoping it will grow with us and eventually we will be able to use Obby to also manage our website etc. > > **Cons**: We are quite a niche business so sometimes it doesn't do exactly what we want it to. Having said that, most of our suggestions have been implemented when we have asked. I would prefer the classes to integrate into our website, rather than being re-directed, but it does work well as it is. > > Very happy with the support we receive. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/343814/baluu?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/343814/baluu) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
