Bottom line
OnceHub is a scheduling and customer-engagement platform for expert-led conversations. It combines booking pages, routing forms and team distribution with AI phone and web agents that screen, qualify and book around the clock. Native calendar, video and CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot), Zapier, APIs and an MCP server let teams fit scheduling into existing workflows. A free one-user plan is available; paid seats start near $10 per seat per month.
Frequently asked questions
What does OnceHub cost for a mid-sized team?
OnceHub has a free Basic plan for one user. Paid plans are billed per seat, per month: Schedule ($10/seat/month on annual billing), Route ($19) and Engage ($39). The security and compliance add-on (SSO, SCIM, HIPAA BAA) is $5/seat/month annually, extra phone numbers are $4/month, and SMS notifications need credits. Enterprise is a custom agreement for 30+ users. A 10-seat Route team is roughly $2,280/year before add-ons.
How long does it take to get live?
Most teams are self-serve: sign up free, connect a calendar and publish a booking link the same day, using pre-configured templates instead of building from scratch. Routing forms, distribution rules and chatbots take longer, and larger organisations typically add the security add-on and an enterprise agreement review. Plan on days rather than months for first bookings, and a few weeks for a full rollout across teams.
Which security and compliance standards does OnceHub support?
OnceHub's pricing page states SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS Level I and TX-RAMP Level II for all plans and references GDPR, FINRA, HIPAA and FERPA. HIPAA BAA agreements, guest communication compliance (journaling), SSO, SCIM and custom security policies require the paid security and compliance add-on. Two-factor authentication is on paid plans, and AI features are off by default and can only be enabled by the account owner.
Does OnceHub integrate with our CRM, calendars and AI tools?
Yes. Native integrations cover Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Exchange, iCloud, Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, n8n, Make.com and Microsoft Copilot Studio. Slack, many CRMs and marketing tools run through Zapier, and there is a documented REST API with webhooks. OnceHub also ships an MCP server so assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can manage scheduling under secure OAuth.
Who is OnceHub not a good fit for?
Teams that only need a shared internal calendar, or that want practice management, time tracking, billing and scheduling in one suite, will find it over-featured. Organisations needing on-premise deployment, FedRAMP authorization, or clinical documentation inside an EHR should look elsewhere; OnceHub is a cloud engagement layer that sits beside those systems.
