Where SimpleERB is stronger
SimpleERB is honest about pricing, easy to use and has been around for years. Its Pro plan has unlimited covers, which suits very high volume venues, and it has a plan for small chains.
Where Tablez is stronger
Cost for most independents. Tablez counts bookings rather than covers, so a venue doing 250 bookings a month at an average of three people (750 covers) would need SimpleERB Plus at £47 a month, while Tablez Standard covers it for £9.99. Tablez also has a free plan with no end date for quieter venues.
Switching from SimpleERB
Sign up free, set your opening hours and tables, add your upcoming bookings, then swap the widget on your website and the booking link on Google, Instagram and Facebook. Most venues are done in under an hour, and we will do it with you for free if you would rather. Run both side by side until your old bookings have passed.
FAQ
Tablez vs SimpleERB questions
Is Tablez cheaper than SimpleERB?
Usually, yes. SimpleERB starts at £21 a month for up to 300 covers. Tablez is free up to 60 bookings, and £9.99 a month covers up to 1,000 bookings, whatever the party size.
What is the difference between covers and bookings?
A cover is one person. A booking is one table. A table of four is one booking but four covers, so a limit on bookings goes much further than the same limit on covers.
Can I move my bookings from SimpleERB?
Yes. Add your upcoming bookings to Tablez, then change the booking link on your website, Google, Instagram and Facebook. We will help for free.
