Our take

Pick the one that fits how you work.

If you need HIPAA, more channels, or many languages — or you’ll pay a year up front — Frontdesk is a strong choice. If you run appointments yourself and want calls and texts answered, booked, and followed up for a flat $89 a month with nothing to meter, that’s exactly what Skye is for.

Keep your own payments — no forced switch, no cut

Skye works on top of how you already get paid. Venmo, Zelle, and cash are tracked and never marked paid until you verify. There’s no new card processor to adopt and no percentage taken out of every transaction.

Try Skye free for 30 days.
