Support shouldn't happen while you're sleeping

When your booking system goes down or you have a question, you can't afford to wait 8 hours for the US West Coast to wake up. Baluu's team is based in the UK and Europe. We work the same hours you do — fast answers, local knowledge, and zero lag time.

Schedulicity (US-Centric)

  • Support runs on US time zones, leaving EU teams waiting.
  • US-hosted data adds compliance risk in Europe.
  • Marketplace listings can distract clients from your brand.

Baluu (Local & Secure)

  • Local UK/EU support when you are awake.
  • GDPR-native data hosting in Europe.
  • White-label booking that keeps customers focused on you.

Privacy and usability, side by side

Get local support and data sovereignty without losing features.

Appointments, classes, and courses. Simplified.

Schedulicity handles appointments well, but struggles with complex course structures. Baluu lets you seamlessly mix 1-on-1 appointments with group workshops and term-based courses — all in one dashboard.

Why Choosing European Matters

When you use Schedulicity, you are sending your data and your money to a Silicon Valley giant subject to the US CLOUD Act. This allows US authorities to access data stored on American servers, even if it belongs to a European citizen.

Baluu is different. We are a proudly independent European business with real people working across the UK, Portugal, Spain, and Lithuania.

We do not just follow GDPR because we have to; we follow it because we live here. We understand your market, your values, and your timezone because we share them.
