While I can't tell you specifics on each of these, it's clear that they're gaining traction among customers from this Compete graph (note: HourBook is now called BookFresh): <a href='http://siteanalytics.compete.com/bookfresh.com+bookingangel.com+genbook.com/?metric=uv' rel="nofollow"><img src='http://grapher.compete.com/bookfresh.com+bookingangel.com+genbook.com_uv_310.png' /></a> I haven't seen many customer reviews for any of the services, but the traffic growth - particularly for Genbook - seems to show they're gaining business for themselves - and for their users.

Thanks for the info. Now over a year since your post on the subject, what kind of track record have these firms built up? What percentage of clients in the "caring" professions make use of online scheduling? I know I would!! I'm suggesting to my own client that we go and talk to a couple folks here in the Portland, OR, area who are using such packages. One is signed up with what appears to be a new firm (Australian) which is free. Do you imagine they will start charging when they are better established? Would we essentially be beta testers?
