How much does Square Appointments cost?
Short answerSquare's appointments pricing page lists a Free plan with no monthly fee, Plus at 49 dollars per month per location, and Premium at 149 dollars per month per location, each with its own card processing rate [1]. Plus and Premium offer a 30 day free trial [1].
The explanation
The page prices per location and lists unlimited staff calendars even on Free [1]. Plus adds a cancellation policy with no-show fees, multi-staff booking and a waitlist, and Premium adds a future bookings report, service cost tracking and resource management [1].
Processing fees fall as the tier rises, so a business with heavy card volume can weigh the monthly fee against the saving on each payment [1]. That means the real cost depends on what you run through the card reader and booking site, not only the plan price.
Square also lists custom pricing for businesses processing over a stated yearly volume [1]. As always, confirm amounts on the vendor's page, and ask whether the product covers routes, quotes and crews if you run a mobile service. Ask what is missing from the free tier.

How Apex does it
In progress
Part of this is built. The rest is not. Status as of 2026-10-07; the badge shows the least-built feature involved.
Apex is priced by number of users rather than by location, from $59 a month for one user. Its design includes a cancellation policy with no-show fees and a waitlist, both in progress, and card processing is the processor's own rate.
