BookNox vs 17hats
BookNox vs 17hats. Half the monthly price. Sharper scope.
17hats is $60 a month billed monthly, or $600 a year billed yearly, per its pricing page. That works if you use every feature; if you mostly need proposals, contracts, and a deposit link, you’re paying for a lot of platform you don’t touch. BookNox is $29/month for the same booking surface.

Honest comparison
When 17hats is the better choice.
- You want bookkeeping in the same tool. 17hats can bring your expenses in through bank connect, a $5 a month add on per its pricing FAQ. BookNox doesn’t.
- You manage projects in pipeline stages. 17hats applies your workflow steps to each project, beyond “signed and paid”. BookNox treats each proposal as its own lifecycle.
- You use scheduling heavily. 17hats lists online scheduling, and its advanced online scheduling takes payment at the time of booking. BookNox syncs your Google Calendar.
- The feature breadth matters more than the price. 17hats lists workflows, online scheduling, and bank connect for expenses on its pricing page. BookNox is the booking flow only.
When 17hats’ extra tools don’t earn the price difference ($31 a month against its monthly price, $21 a month against its yearly price; in a first year bought on its $300 offer, 17hats costs less than BookNox), BookNox is the tighter tool for the same booking outcome.
