Where a rival says its prices exclude VAT, so do we show them; ResoFlow currently charges no VAT.

Unlimited on every plan (fair usage)

ResoFlow's Plus is £21 a month less than Tablein's Starter, and Pro brings unlimited online bookings (fair usage) for £79/month. Tablein's Starter carries every Tablein feature from its first plan — the section below sets out when that matters.

Both sides

Where each one wins.

Four things Tablein's own pages offer that ResoFlow does not. They are real, and for some venues they are the whole argument.

When Tablein might suit you better.

  1. You want bookings straight from GoogleTablein lists Google Reserve on its pricing page — bookings straight from Google Search and Maps. ResoFlow instead walks you through putting your booking link on your Google Business Profile.
  2. You want every feature on your first planEvery Tablein plan says “All the features included” — the plans differ only in reservations. ResoFlow's gift cards, ticketed events and loyalty are in the plan from Pro (£79/month), or on their own.
  3. You’d rather pay per extra booking than reach a limitTablein’s Starter and Growth charge for each reservation over the allowance. On ResoFlow’s Free and Plus plans, new online bookings are declined at the monthly allowance until it resets — upgrading is the fix.
  4. You’re outside the UKTablein says it works in 50+ countries and takes subscription payments in euros, pounds and dollars. ResoFlow is built for UK venues and priced in pounds.

Why venues choose ResoFlow

  1. A free plan, not a free trialResoFlow's Free plan is free with no time limit — 30 online bookings a month, with tables, your floor plan and the booking widget. Plus is £39/month with 500 online bookings a month, and when you first subscribe you get a 14-day money-back guarantee. See the plans
  2. Unlimited online bookings from Pro — fair usagePro (£79/month) and Complete take unlimited online bookings (fair usage), with gift cards, ticketed events, promotions and loyalty in the plan. Gift cards, events and loyalty can also be had on their own — Events is free to start, gift cards and loyalty from £25/month. See every feature
  3. Your guest data stays yoursOn any paid plan, import from CSV or Excel and export to CSV whenever you like. Guest profiles, visit history, allergies and preferences live in your own dashboard, hosted in the EU, covered by UK GDPR, and never sold for advertising. How your data is held

If Google Reserve or every feature at the lowest price is what you need, Tablein is a sound choice. If a free plan, unlimited online bookings (fair usage) from Pro and the toolkit in the plan matter more, that’s the ResoFlow side of the argument.

The switch

Move from Tablein in three steps.

Before you switchDownload your Tablein guest list and reservations before you cancel anything — only an Owner or Manager can export them. It’s your data.

  1. Export your data from Tablein

    Your guest book is your data. In Tablein, open the Guestbook (Database → Guests), click Download, choose CSV or Excel and give an email address — Tablein emails you a download link. Reservations export the same way from the Reservations Database, up to 1,000 records at a time, so export your history in date ranges that each stay under that.

  2. Import it into ResoFlow

    Open Settings → Data import in your ResoFlow dashboard and upload each file — CSV or Excel. The wizard matches your columns to ResoFlow fields, shows a preview before anything is written, and imports up to 10,000 rows per file. Guests with a matching email are merged, never duplicated, and a booking that's already in your diary is skipped — so overlapping date ranges are never doubled. Gift cards you’ve sold come across too — each keeps its old code and what’s left on it, so guests’ cards still work.

  3. Point your channels at your new booking link

    Your public booking page is live the moment set-up is complete. Put the link on your website, social profiles and Google Business Profile — or embed the booking widget directly on your site. Bookings arrive in real time.

Import (CSV or Excel) is included on Plus (£39/month) and above, and with a paid Gift Cards, Loyalty, Events or Order & Pay product (booking import needs a venue plan as well). Bringing gift cards across needs gift cards on — Pro and above, or the Gift cards product. Full venue set-up — free on every plan just now — does the import with you on a paid plan or product.

“We’ve used ResoFlow from the very start, and it’s part of how we run every shift. Guests book on their phones, we see it straight away, and the diary is always right — no more worrying that a booking’s been missed. On a busy night we can see at a glance who’s in, who’s due and which tables are free, so seating people is quick and calm. The whole team finds it easy to use. Less stress, happier guests, stronger team — that’s honestly what it’s given us.”

Questions

Tablein vs ResoFlow, answered.

More in the Help Centre
How is ResoFlow different from Tablein?

Both charge a flat monthly price with no commission. The difference is what the plans count: Tablein's plans all carry every feature and differ in the reservations included (50, 150 or unlimited); ResoFlow starts with a free plan, counts online bookings only on Free and Plus (30 and 500 a month), and adds the toolkit — gift cards, events, loyalty and promotions — from Pro (£79/month).

What does Tablein cost?

Published per restaurant, billed monthly (as at 6 November 2026): Starter £60/month with 50 reservations included, Growth £105/month with 150, and Success £157/month with unlimited reservations. Extra reservations are charged in euros — €0.67 each on Starter and €0.37 on Growth. Annual billing is offered on Success. Tablein's pricing page doesn't say whether its prices include VAT.

What does ResoFlow cost?

Free is free with no time limit (up to 30 online bookings a month, with unlimited staff-created bookings and walk-ins, fair usage), Plus is £39/month (500 online bookings a month), Pro is £79/month and Complete is £129/month (unlimited online bookings, fair usage) — two months free if you pay annually, and a 14-day money-back guarantee when you first subscribe.

Can I bring my Tablein guest list and reservations with me?

Yes. Tablein lets an Owner or Manager download the guest database and the reservations database as CSV or Excel files (reservations up to 1,000 records at a time). Then use ResoFlow's import wizard at Settings → Data import — it matches columns, previews before writing, and handles up to 10,000 rows per file. Guests with a matching email are merged, never duplicated, and a booking that's already in your diary is skipped. Gift cards you’ve sold come across too — each keeps its old code and what’s left on it, so guests’ cards still work. Import (CSV or Excel) is included on Plus (£39/month) and above, and with a paid Gift Cards, Loyalty, Events or Order & Pay product (booking import needs a venue plan as well).
