Looking for enterprise tools like floorplans, usage analytics, or single sign-on?
We’re focused on simplicity right now — but let us know what you need!

Skedda is built for enterprise-grade scheduling — which may not suit smaller teams needs or budgets.

Skedda is powerful — no question. However, many small teams and venues may find it:

Expensive, with pricing that doesn't scale well
Restricted on admins and spaces (especially on lower-tier plans)
Contains features they may not need
Some features only available on higher plans
Lacking branding options on starter plan

How Much Can You Save?
