We make MotherBot, so it’s first on our own list — read it knowing that. To keep it fair, every competitor figure is quoted from that company’s own page, “Not published” means they don’t say (not that they can’t), and each card names where the tool is weaker, ours included.

• Confirm straight away. With the date, time, address and a reference.

• Remind twice. A day before and an hour before, with Confirm and Reschedule buttons.

• Let them move it. Self-service rescheduling inside your cut-off keeps the slot filled.

• Mark the outcome. Completed or no-show, so repeat no-shows are visible.

• Follow up. A review request or a 'time for your next visit' message later on.
