Apps from ₹50,000 · Fixed quote within 2 hours of the meeting · Serving businesses across India
Quick answer
How much does an appointment booking app cost in India, and who can build one?
Mana Studio builds it as an Android + iOS app with a web admin panel, with optional AI features, starting from ₹50,000 for a focused first version (slot booking and reminders) and ₹1,00,000 for a full product with online payments, staff scheduling and repeat-customer tracking. Book a free 30-minute meeting and you get a fixed quotation within 2 hours of the meeting. The MVP takes 6–8 weeks, the full product 10–12 weeks. Mana Studio is based in Warangal, Telangana, and builds for clinics, salons and service businesses across India, in English, Telugu and Hindi. Automatic reminders are the single biggest lever on no-shows, and they're built in from the MVP.
A receptionist juggling calls and a paper diary double-books slots and forgets to call back. Customers who don't get a reminder simply forget the appointment, and that slot is lost revenue for the day.
What we build
Slot booking by service and staff member, with live availability
Automatic SMS/WhatsApp reminders before the appointment
Online payment or advance-booking deposit
Reschedule and cancellation handled by the customer, not the front desk
Repeat-customer history: past visits, preferences, notes
No-show and cancellation reports for the owner
Who uses it
A web app / PWA version — usable from a browser, no store install — is also possible if that fits your users better.
Owner/admin: schedules, staff, reports
Staff: sees their own day's bookings
Customer: books, reschedules, gets reminders
What you own at the end
Full source code, the store accounts in your business's name, and the complete booking and customer database.
AI that removes manual work
AI is optional. These are the add-ons that pay for themselves by taking a repeated manual job off someone's desk.
WhatsApp booking assistant
Today: Customers call to ask for available slots and someone checks the diary manually.
With automation: A WhatsApp chatbot shows live availability and books a slot directly from the chat.
No-show risk flags
Today: The front desk has no way to know which bookings are likely to be no-shows until it happens.
With automation: Customers with a history of no-shows are flagged so staff can call to confirm ahead of time.
Review request follow-up
Today: Happy customers rarely leave a review because nobody asks at the right moment.
With automation: A review request goes out automatically a few hours after a completed appointment.

An MVP with slot booking and reminders is ₹50,000; the full app with payments and staff scheduling is ₹1,00,000. A fixed quote comes within 2 hours of a free meeting.
How long does it take to build?+
6–8 weeks for the MVP, 10–12 weeks for the full product.
Can customers book without an internet connection?+
The app itself needs a connection to check live availability; reminders go out via SMS/WhatsApp so customers don't need to open the app to get them.
Does it support Telugu and Hindi?+
Yes, the customer-facing app and reminder messages can be built in English, Telugu and Hindi.
Who owns the customer booking data?+
You do, fully. The database and store accounts are registered in your business's name.
Can you customise an existing booking platform instead of building new?+
Only if its API allows real customisation. Most generic booking apps charge a recurring fee per booking or per staff member indefinitely; a custom build is a one-time cost.
Is there a monthly maintenance cost?+
An optional care plan at ₹8,000 per month covers updates and bug fixes; it's optional.
