Appointment scheduler from Microsoft built into Microsoft 365 and Outlook, with a booking page for customers.
Microsoft Bookings is an American appointment scheduler that is part of Microsoft 365 (including Business Basic, Standard and Premium) and works with Outlook and Teams. You do not buy it separately; we could not verify a price for Bookings alone, so we do not show one. According to Microsoft, all data is stored in Exchange Online and follows the storage rules of Microsoft 365; that page does not say whether this is in the EU for you. Microsoft offers a Data Protection Addendum for its online services.
Below are the appointment schedulers we checked.
