Bookly PRO

Bookly PRO costs $99 once for 1 site. The annual plan costs $99 a year, so the lifetime license pays for itself after 12 months. Over five years you save $396 compared with renewing every year.

Yes, for a single business site that takes appointments every week. The lifetime license includes updates and support for life when you buy on the official website. That removes the limits of the free plugin and the yearly renewal at the same time.

Count the add-ons before you decide. Recurring appointments, packages, coupons and similar extras are sold separately in the add-on marketplace, and they can cost more than the core license. If you mainly need unlimited staff, online payments, reminders and calendar sync, the PRO license alone is enough. The refund window is 30 days.

The free plugin on wordpress.org gives you a working booking form with limits on services and staff. For a one person business with a short service list that can be all you need, and it lets you test the booking flow with real customers.

The PRO license removes those limits: unlimited services and staff members, online payments, Google Calendar sync, a customer cabinet where clients manage their own appointments and notifications by email and SMS. It builds on the same plugin, so your services and bookings stay in place.

Booking plugins stay on a site for as long as the business takes appointments, which is usually many years. A lifetime license keeps updates and support running without a renewal date, as long as you buy it on the official website.

Purchases through CodeCanyon follow different support terms, so check where you buy. The lifetime PRO license covers one site; Business and Ultimate plans add add-ons and more sites.

You keep the free plugin, add the PRO plugin from your account and activate your license. Then you add staff, services and working hours, connect a payment method and Google Calendar and set up reminders. Appointments and customer data stay in your own WordPress database. Add the add-ons later, one at a time, once you know which extras your customers actually ask for.
