Microsoft Bookings fits if …
your business already pays for Microsoft 365, wants everything inside Outlook and Teams, and appointment slots with an email confirmation are enough.
terminio.ai fits if …
you have customers who book from a list of services with durations and prices, get reminded by WhatsApp and should pay when they book.
The biggest difference
Internal calendar versus customer business. Bookings hands out slots inside your Microsoft account; terminio.ai brings WhatsApp, prepayment, a phone assistant and an app of its own.
Point by point.
The same eleven rows as on the comparison page, just for these two. Whatever Microsoft does not confirm stays a question mark and never counts as a no.

What a year costs.
Where Microsoft Bookings is stronger.
Where terminio is.
Microsoft Bookings
- If you already pay for Microsoft 365 Business, Bookings comes with it at no extra cost; there is no second subscription.
- It sits right inside Outlook and Teams, exactly where your calendar and your meetings already live.
- For internal appointments and advice calls with an email confirmation it is solid, with no commission and no customer account.
terminio.ai
- A booking page with services, durations and prices, plus prepayment via Stripe – Bookings has no confirmed online payment.
- Reminders by WhatsApp from your own number, unlimited in Pro and with no cost per message; Bookings confirms by email, and SMS only in North America.
- A native app for iPhone and Android including your smartwatch, and in Pro Voice an AI phone assistant with a German number.
Typical in these industries.
Microsoft Bookings appears on our comparison page for these industries. Each has a page of its own, with the workflow and the questions it really has.
From Microsoft Bookings to terminio
in three steps.
- 01
Set up your services
Tap your industry, adjust the prefilled services, set durations and prices. Your Bookings services become bookable services; ten minutes, and the page is live.
- 02
Bring your customers
Import your contacts and confirm existing appointments once by WhatsApp. From then on reminders go out from your number instead of by email.
- 03
Swap the link
Booking link in your signature, Google profile and website instead of the Bookings page. You keep Microsoft 365 anyway; only the booking moves.
What gets asked
before switching.
Nothing extra if you already have Microsoft 365 Business: Bookings is included in it and is not sold separately, and there is no free plan of its own. The cost sits inside the 365 subscription, which starts at about €12.50 per user a month for the whole suite. terminio.ai starts at €0 with 50 bookings a month; Pro costs €19.99 and can be cancelled monthly.
