Why businesses choose BeNotely over Shortcuts
Three differences that show up in how your week actually runs, and you can see all of them for yourself in 30 days.
Start free, and properly
There's a genuine free plan for one person: online bookings, your website and the AI booking assistant, with no card to begin. You can run on it for as long as it suits you, and only pay when you want the team and marketing tools.
A website comes with it
BeNotely drafts you a full business website on your own domain, from your own services and photos, with booking built into every page and its own analytics. No separate site to commission or maintain.
An assistant that works while you do
An AI assistant answers your customers from your real calendar and turns questions into booked appointments, while nudges tell you who's due back and rebook them at checkout on their own rhythm.
BeNotely and Shortcuts, compared
How the two line up on the things that shape your month.

Questions, answered
Getting started, pricing and the fair print, in plain words.
Shortcuts has been around a long time. Why pick BeNotely?+
Shortcuts has decades behind it, and we won't pretend otherwise. What BeNotely offers is a platform built on today's tools, with a website builder, an AI booking assistant and rebooking intelligence included rather than bought separately, a real free plan, and a setup you can finish in an afternoon. Both are Australian, so this one comes down to fit rather than flags.
What does BeNotely cost?+
There's a real free plan for one person: online bookings, your website and the AI assistant, no card required. Paid plans start at $29 AUD a month for one person taking bookings and from $69 for a team, GST included. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on.
Can I bring my existing clients across?+
Yes. Adding a customer takes seconds per person and a name alone is enough to start a record, with the details following later. Your client book also fills itself as you go, because a record is created the first time anyone books. And nothing is ever locked in: your client book exports whenever you want it.
Can I try BeNotely before I decide?+
Yes, and without a card. Every new account starts with 30 days of everything switched on, so you can set it up properly, take real bookings and see how it fits your business before paying anything. There are no lock-in contracts and you can cancel any time. Every new account is also offered a free 15-minute setup call if you'd like a hand.
Does BeNotely charge commission on my bookings?+
Never. BeNotely takes 0% of your bookings on every plan. You pay a flat subscription, or nothing at all on the free plan, and when a customer pays a deposit that money is yours and lands in your own account. We earn from the subscription, never from a cut of your work.
Is BeNotely built for Australia?+
Yes. It's built in Melbourne, and it shows in the details: pricing in Australian dollars with GST included, text messages to Australian mobiles, support from people who know the local market, and your money paid into your own Australian bank account.
Everything in one place, free to start
Free for 30 days with everything switched on. No card, no lock-in contracts, and your booking page can be live this afternoon.
