Great list! All businesses should be using scheduling software in 2014! BookMyCity (https://www.bookmycity.com/) would make a good addition to this list, offering businesses local exposure, online booking, online payment processing, website integration, CRM, analytics, and more. Not to mention, great customer service 😉
