## What to watch for besides the monthly price

- **Free-tier limits.** Tabloy Free has 50 bookings a month and 8 tables, Tableo Freemium 100 guests a month, and Dotykačka’s SNADNO licence 100 bookings a year. A busy restaurant outgrows the limit in its first weekend.
- **Trial periods.** Bookio, Stolio and Tablein are free for 14 days, then a plan applies.
- **Fees per guest or per booking.** Tablein charges €0.67 per booking above the plan’s limit. International platforms such as OpenTable or TheFork charge per guest; more in [Commission-free reservation system](https://booklio.ai/en/articles/commission-free-booking-system).
- **Text messages and one-off fees.** Some systems charge for texts separately (Reservanto CZK 1.10 to 1.50) or for the form design (RezervujStůl CZK 1,500).
- **VAT.** Some price lists exclude VAT. VAT-registered businesses reclaim it; others pay it on top.

## What you pay for Booklio

Booklio has no monthly fee and no plans. Every venue gets the core and all 9 add-ons and pays only for what is actually sent, from prepaid credit topped up by bank transfer with a QR code.

**What Booklio charges for (excl. VAT)**

| Service | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Text messages to guests (confirmations, reminders) | CZK 3 per text |
| Drafts by Claude (a suggested review reply, an event translation, an invitation text) | CZK 3 per draft |
| AI floor plan suggestion from a photo of your plan or room | CZK 5 per suggestion |
| Emails to guests | CZK 0, up to 3,000 a month |
| Bookings through guests’ AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT) | CZK 0 |
| Bookings, tables, spaces, admin, statistics | CZK 0 |

> **A worked example**
>
> A venue with 200 bookings a month, where half the guests give a phone number and get a confirmation and a reminder, sends 200 texts: CZK 600 a month excl. VAT. Guests who give an email address get their messages for free. Work out your own numbers in the [calculator on the pricing page](https://booklio.ai/en/pricing).

For CZK 0 you get a booking widget for your website and a standalone booking page, occupancy rules, manual and automatic confirmation, texts and emails in three languages, an iPad admin, arrived and no-show tracking with a no-show list, statistics and the Monday summary. Everything is described on the [Features](https://booklio.ai/en/features) page.
