Get
booked.
Voice, piano, guitar. Your students pick a time and pay from one link, and you stop texting about times.
- 3 questions
- signup to a live page
- Your Stripe
- payouts land in your account
- Zero rake
- free to start, never a cut
Tired of being
your own
receptionist?
Right now a booking happens across three apps and a favor. A scheduling link that doesn’t know your prices. A message thread where the real negotiation happens. A bank transfer you chase on Sunday night.
- The link
- Shows times, not what you charge.
- The thread
- Where every change quietly becomes your job.
- The transfer
- Owed, forgotten, asked about twice.
Vekela is the one page that does all three, so the admin stops being a second job.
Built for one person selling their own time. A voice teacher, a tennis coach, a barber, a dog groomer, a piano tuner, a charter captain, a private chef.
Three questions. Then bookings come to you.
Say what you offer
A name, a length, a price. At your place, theirs, on video or on the phone.
Set your week
Days, hours, a gap between jobs. Customers see their own timezone.
Send it and get booked
Paste it into a text, your bio or your email signature. The link never changes, even when your hours do.

The parts other tools make you give up.
We read the market before we built. These are the trade-offs solo providers keep being asked to accept, and the ones Vekela refuses.
Your link works the same in a hall, a home, a shop or somebody’s driveway.
Get paid your way.
Venmo, Zelle, cash, or a card on your own Stripe. Nothing about your page waits for Stripe: connect it if you ever want to, or never.
Free to start. Never a cut of a booking.
Marketplaces take 20–30% of what a new customer first pays you.1 Per-seat tools bill you again for every calendar. We don't send you customers, and we don't charge you as if we did.
Paid to you, not to us.
Card charges are created on your own Stripe account and never pass through our balance. Payouts, refunds and your 1099 are yours.
Four taps. No password.
No sign-up, no account, nothing to remember. Rescheduling works straight from the link in their confirmation email.
Made to be sent, not embedded.
No website required. The link goes in a bio, a WhatsApp reply, a parents' group chat.
Identical on a phone and a laptop.
One page that reflows instead of a cut-down mobile version. Every control is thumb-sized.
1 Marketplace commission on a new client the marketplace itself sent you, charged on that client’s first booking, not a cut of every booking. Checked against two marketplaces in the category, August 2026.

Zero rake. You keep 100% of what you charge.
Stripe’s standard processing fee goes to Stripe. We never touch it and never add anything on top. The subscription pays for the software; the booking is yours. No per-booking cut, no commission on new clients, no fee that grows as you do.

Setup help · optional
We’ll set it up with you
Want a hand getting started? We set up your page with you: your services, hours and policies, your photos and words, and a test booking. A one-time fee, quoted before you pay, on Free or Pro. It isn’t a plan, and it isn’t a website build.
Request setup →Questions
worth
asking.
- What does joining the waitlist do?
- It puts your address on one list. We confirm that you joined, and then write once more, when Vekela opens. It doesn't create an account, start a subscription or hold a launch date for you, and there's no card to give.
- Do my customers need an account?
- No. They open the link, pick a time, leave a name and a number. Nothing to install, nothing to remember.
- Where does the money go?
- Into your own Stripe account, directly. We never hold it and never take a percentage. Stripe's processing fee is Stripe's.
- Can I take payment in person instead?
- Yes. Show your price, get booked, settle however you already do. There is nothing to switch on or off — connecting Stripe is optional, and your page never waits for it.
- What if someone needs to move a booking?
- They reschedule or cancel from the confirmation email, no login. Inside your cutoff they're asked to contact you instead.
- Who is this actually for?
- One person selling their own time — teachers, coaches, barbers, groomers, tuners, captains, chefs. Not clinical work, and not a business with staff: everything here assumes one person, and that person is you.
Be there when it opens.
We'll write once, when it's ready to use. No newsletter, no product updates, nothing else in between.
