Like EasyTable, we handle table reservations, guest management, waitlists, and no-show prevention, and both of us publish our prices instead of hiding them behind a sales call. Where we differ is what you pay and how long you commit to pay it.
Where EasyTable shines
Let’s be fair, because EasyTable does several things genuinely well.
Their pricing model is cleaner than ours in one respect: one plan, every feature included, priced only by how long you commit. There’s no working out which tier has the floor plan or which add-on covers deposits. Resos tiers by booking volume and sells some capabilities as add-ons, so if you want a single all-inclusive number, EasyTable gives you that and we don’t.
Their switching offer is also better than most in the category. A free first month with no card, plus covering your cost during the notice period at your existing provider, removes the awkward overlap where you pay two vendors at once. That’s a thoughtful thing to offer and worth acknowledging.
They’re a Danish company that’s been at this since 2012, with a native Danish product and Danish-language support from Copenhagen. For a Danish restaurant that wants a local supplier it can phone, that’s a real advantage. They also support 10 languages and are actively shipping new work, including an AI guest chatbot and an AI phone assistant, which is more than can be said for some longer-established systems.
What makes Resos different
The clearest difference is cost.
EasyTable’s published price is €67 per month on a rolling monthly basis, falling to €60 on a one-year term and €53 on a two-year term, excluding VAT. Resos Basic is €45 per month for up to 350 bookings, or €36 a month on annual billing. So our annual rate sits below EasyTable’s best two-year rate, without asking you to commit for two years, and our standard monthly price is well under their rolling monthly one.
The second difference is commitment. EasyTable’s discounts are earned by signing up for longer: two years for the best rate. Resos has no contract and no binding period at any price. You can pause or cancel whenever you like, and our annual billing discount of 20% doesn’t require a multi-year term.
Third, there’s a free plan rather than a free month. Resos includes a permanent free tier for up to 25 bookings a month. A quiet neighbourhood place can genuinely run on it indefinitely, and a busier restaurant can use it to test the system properly before paying.
How Resos and EasyTable compare
| Feature | Resos | EasyTable |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free plan, then €45/month (€36 annually) | €67/month rolling, €53/month on a two-year term |
| Free tier | Permanent free plan, 25 bookings/month | Free first month, then paid |
| Minimum contract | None – pause or cancel anytime | None required, but the best price needs two years |
| Cover fees and commissions | None on any plan | None |
| Feature packaging | Core features on every plan, some paid add-ons | All features included in the single plan |
| Prepayment fee | Add-on with a 30-day free trial | 1.6% of the amount paid |
| Languages | 17 | 10 |
| Switching help | Free import of bookings and guest data | Free first month, plus your old notice period covered |
| Guest marketplace | No – guests book through your own channels | No – widget plus channel listings |
When Resos might be the better fit
Resos tends to work well for restaurants that:
- Want to spend closer to €36 a month than €67 for table reservations
- Would rather not sign a two-year term to reach the advertised low price
- Want a free plan they can stay on, not just a free first month
- Serve guests in languages beyond the ten EasyTable covers
- Prefer to pay for booking volume they actually use rather than one flat all-in price
If you run a high-volume restaurant that uses every feature in EasyTable’s single plan, their all-inclusive pricing may work out fine. If you mostly need reliable table management, reminders, and a booking widget, you’re likely paying for more than you use.
Switching is easier than you think
Worried about losing your booking history and guest data? We’ve built an import tool that makes migrating from EasyTable, or any other system, straightforward. Your existing reservations and guest information come across, so your regulars stay in the system with their preferences and notes intact and your team keeps the context they need.
Most restaurants finish the migration in a single session. If you’re part-way through a term with EasyTable, check your notice period first, since that usually decides the cleanest date to move. Our support team will help you plan the timing at no extra charge.
Try both and see what fits
The best way to choose between reservation systems is to run them on real service. Resos has a free plan with 25 bookings per month, so you can build your floor plan and take live bookings before paying anything. EasyTable’s free first month lets you do something similar on their side. Run both and see which one your team prefers when the phone is ringing.
New restaurants currently get 50% off paid monthly plans for the first three months, so trying a paid tier costs less than the list price suggests.
Frequently asked questions about switching from EasyTable
How does Resos compare to EasyTable on price?
EasyTable publishes €67 per month on rolling monthly billing, €60 on a one-year term, and €53 on a two-year term, excluding VAT. Resos Basic is €45 per month for 350 bookings, Plus €85 for 750, and Unlimited €125, with a free plan for up to 25 bookings a month. Annual billing brings Basic to €36 a month, below EasyTable’s two-year rate, with no multi-year commitment. New restaurants currently get 50% off monthly plans for the first three months.
Am I locked into a contract with Resos?
No. There’s no binding period and no minimum term on any plan. You can pause or cancel at any time. Annual billing saves 20% but isn’t required.
Can I import my bookings and guest data from EasyTable?
Yes. Our import tool brings over your existing reservations and guest information, so you keep your booking history rather than rebuilding your guest database by hand.
Does Resos charge commission or per-cover fees?
No. Resos never charges commission or per-cover fees on any plan. You pay a flat monthly subscription based on booking volume, so a busy Saturday costs the same as a quiet Tuesday.
Is Resos available in Danish?
Yes. Resos supports 17 languages, including Danish, across the back office and the guest-facing booking flow, so your team and your guests each see it in their own language.
What does Resos include that I should check against my EasyTable setup?
Table management with a drag-and-drop floor plan, online bookings from your website, Google, Facebook, and Instagram, waitlist management, no-show tracking, automated email and SMS reminders, guest profiles, and reporting. Core booking features are on every plan; SMS notifications, prepayments, and custom design are paid add-ons with a 30-day free trial.
How do deposits and prepayments work?
Prepayments are a paid add-on on Resos paid plans, with a 30-day free trial. EasyTable charges 1.6% of the amount prepaid. Worth comparing against your own volume of deposit-taking bookings.
Is Resos difficult to set up?
Most restaurants are live within an hour. Add your tables and floor plan, set your booking rules, and embed the widget on your website the same day. No sales call and no lengthy onboarding.
What about customer support?
Fast, free support on every plan, including the free one. It’s included rather than sold as a premium tier, and our team takes time to understand your setup rather than sending you a help article.
Does Resos integrate with Google?
Yes. Resos works with Reserve with Google, so guests can book straight from Google Search and Maps, and it supports bookings from Facebook and Instagram.
How do I get started?
Sign up at resos.com and add your first tables. It takes a few minutes and needs no credit card on the free plan.
