Cabinet.fm and Introwise are online assistants for those who consult regularly.
The services help self-employed experts who conduct online training for free. True, while Introwise takes a commission of 9.8% for payments. Considering that there is no commission in the professional tariff, and in the advanced tariff the commission is 4.9%, you involuntarily wonder - why is the tariff called free?
We can imagine the situation. The coach conducts 50 consultations per month for $50. How much will he receive including the Introwise commission? $2,255, and the commission in the system is $245. We can conclude that this is not a free tariff at all.
The Introwise and Cabinet.fm platforms provide a free opportunity to host group events.
Event participants can pay organisers for the online meetings through the Stripe payment system, which works with Cabinet.fm and Introwise. Only Introwise has commissions up to 9.8% in the free tariff.
On the Cabinet.fm platform, video meetings can be held using Google Meet and Zoom services. To do this, a connection is established with these applications.
The developers of Cabinet.fm have created a great tool — a landing page for those who hold online meetings. On the personal page, a coach or teacher can add their photo, change the cover image, add information about themself, links to social networks and sites.
In Introwise, after registration, a personal page is also available. At the same time, the system itself adds you free services and a simple description. If you don't need it, just delete it. The last step of registration is to establish connection with payment systems. For those who have not worked with online payments, and who only want to try their hand at online consulting, this stage will be very scary. If this happens, choose the format of work without payments, which is not at the top, but at the end of the list.
On the Cabinet.fm platform, in your personal account, you can easily connect to various services — Google Meet, Zoom, Google Calendar and others. How this is done in Introwise is unknown. There is no such item in the site menu.
Another service difference. In Cabinet.fm you can automatically collect reviews and manually decide which to publish or hide. This feature is not provided by Introwise.
Both services work great with notifications, but in Cabinet.fm there is a great feature to receive Whatsapp messages. You can also set up email notifications and reminders.
