CalMov

What CalMov is

CalMov is web-based booking software for mobile service businesses that need to account for travel between customer appointments. On Lite, businesses set their own fixed travel gap. Pro checks roads and expected traffic around a proposed booking, then checks the journey again before confirmation. It can also calculate one-way travel charges from the business base using distance or journey-time brackets. Businesses can set a service-area limit, working hours, breaks, time off, booking notice and appointment start intervals. Reusable profiles store details about a person, pet or vehicle; customers can retrieve them by email without an account or password. CalMov connects to Google Calendar to display confirmed bookings and account for busy time when checking availability. Booking pages can be linked or embedded on a business website, and customer payments use Stripe, subject to plan and location. Lite is free for one person and up to two services; its unlimited-services upgrade is $6/mo. Pro is $29/mo Founder price, with a stated standard price of $39.

Our review of CalMov

CalMov is an online booking service for mobile businesses, including groomers who travel to customers. It best suits a solo operator working within a defined service area. Its free tier supports basic booking, while Pro adds route-aware scheduling and travel charges. Overview CalMov is built around the practical demands of appointments at customers’ locations. Its service-area and availability controls help a business shape when and where customers can book, and Google Calendar sync helps account for existing commitments. The founder launch is limited to one person taking bookings, so businesses that need staff scheduling should look elsewhere. Key features Travel handling is the main difference between plans. On Lite, the business sets a fixed gap between appointments and remains responsible for allowing enough travel time. Pro checks roads and expected traffic around a proposed booking, then checks the route again before confirmation. That makes Pro a better fit for variable routes; a fixed buffer may be enough for operators with predictable journeys. Pro can apply automatic travel charges based on distance or journey-time brackets for the one-way trip from the business base. Businesses can also set a maximum distance, working hours, breaks, time off, minimum booking notice and appointment start intervals. These controls help keep a solo schedule within a chosen service area. Businesses can save reusable details for a person, pet or vehicle. Customers can retrieve saved profiles by email without an account or password, reducing the need to re-enter details. Google Calendar shows confirmed bookings and checks existing busy time when assessing availability. CalMov says it uses Calendar free/busy data without importing event titles, descriptions, attendees or contents. Bookings can be linked or embedded on a business website, and online payments run through Stripe. Payment availability depends on plan and location. CalMov describes security measures including encrypted transport, access controls, tenant boundaries, authenticated API routes, restricted service credentials, audit logging and anti-abuse controls. Pricing Lite is free, with no monthly fee. It allows one booking person and up to two services, with an online booking page, working-hours and time-off controls, and self-set travel gaps. The $6/mo unlimited-services upgrade removes the service cap while keeping Lite’s fixed-gap approach. Pro costs $29/mo at the Founder price, with a standard price of $39. It includes one booking person, unlimited services, road and expected-traffic checks, automatic travel pricing, online payments and priority support. For a solo mobile operator who needs travel-aware bookings, this is the most complete current plan. Team is $49/mo at the Founder price, with a standard price of $59, and is coming soon. It is set to include two people, everything in Pro for each person, and priority support; extra people are $12/mo each, also coming soon. It is not a current answer for businesses that need multiple staff on bookings. CalMov offers a 14-day trial. Its pricing note says paid plans start at $59/mo, while Pro’s stated Founder price is $29/mo; check the applicable price before choosing a paid plan. Platforms CalMov is web-based. Its booking page can be linked or embedded on a business website, and Google Calendar integration provides a way to account for calendar conflicts. Who it's for CalMov fits solo mobile groomers and other service businesses that travel to customers, especially those that need bookings constrained by distance and availability. Lite is suitable for a low-cost start when the operator can set travel buffers manually. Pro is the stronger choice when route variability or automatic travel charges matter. It is not yet suited to multi-staff scheduling or automated recurring appointments. Pros and cons Pro checks expected traffic before confirming bookings. This is more responsive to changing journeys than a fixed travel gap. Travel charges can be automated on Pro. Distance or journey-time brackets provide a way to price the one-way trip from the business base. Lite is free for one person and two services. That gives a solo operator a way to start taking online bookings without a monthly fee. Lite requires self-set travel gaps. The business must decide how much time to leave between appointments. Every current account is limited to one booking person. Multi-staff scheduling and automated recurring appointments are not available yet. Alternatives For a broader comparison, see pet grooming software . GroomWork is worth considering for mobile access across Android, iOS and web, or for its free plan capped at 40 monthly appointments; its Solo plan is $24 per month for unlimited appointments. Seglo may suit a pet-care business that needs pet records, rostering and pay calculation on a free plan for one person and one location, with Android, iOS and web access. Cartoply is a simpler scheduling alternative with a free personal scheduling page, Google Calendar and Outlook sync, and custom event types and durations. DaySmart Pet is an alternative for businesses seeking a paid pet-care platform with Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows support. Groomsoft offers a 30-day demo with online booking, payment processing, Google Calendar sync and maps for mobile grooming. Pawfinity is a paid option with an annually billed Royal Package at $100 per month, which includes unlimited calendars, appointments and employee logins. ShakeYourTail is another free-plan option for web-based scheduling, with a stated allowance of 100 clients and one user or resource. Furbello may suit a business needing support for up to three active staff and 250 automated texts per month on its $39/month Solo plan. Verdict CalMov is a good match for a solo mobile operator who wants online booking shaped around service areas and travel time. Pro’s route checks and automatic travel charges are the clearest reasons to pay. Choose another platform if you need multiple staff taking bookings now, automated recurring appointments, or mobile apps.
