About Held

Held is booking software for service professionals across Africa. Clients choose a package, pick a date and pay a deposit through Paystack, which helps professionals secure booked work and reduce no-shows.

Each professional gets a single booking link for appointments and services. Held offers a free plan with a 5 percent Held fee and a Pro plan at $12 per month with no Held fee, with processor fees charged separately. It is available in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Côte d'Ivoire, and the company is based in Ilorin.
