Comparisons
Most booking tools are good at something.
Sesami works for salons, spas, studios, clinics and retailers, and so do most of these. The difference is not who they are for. It is how old they are.
Most of these were built for a world of sales calls, onboarding fees and multi-week implementations. Sesami you install yourself and take bookings the same day, with a public API and SDK underneath for when you want to build something of your own. Each comparison still says plainly where the other product is the better answer.

And Sesami?
Sesami is for service businesses that want to be running today rather than after an implementation. You install it, set up your services and take your first booking without speaking to anyone. Free bookings, paid bookings, classes and events all work the same way.
When money is involved, it settles through the checkout and the counter you already use, so bookings and sales end up in one place instead of two. And the engine underneath is open — public API, SDK, apps and agent access — which is there when you want it and invisible when you do not.
