No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I have been using this plugin for several years now to manage bookings for my photo appointments, and I am still very impressed by its wide range of features. Despite offering so many options, the plugin remains clear, user-friendly, and easy to use. It includes everything I need, including PayPal payment functionality. I would also especially like to highlight the excellent support: responses are very quick, and the help provided is truly first-class. Thank you very much for this great plugin!

    I am new to it so I am still in discovery mode but the page created with booking calendar is working as I was expecting. Need to dig a little bit for multiple booking in the same time slot though.

    I’m leaving a review because I got a notification to do so, but nobody has used it on my site yet. I will give actual feedback when it is being used.

    It worked perfectly out of the box. Once I decided I wanted to modify the look of the free version, I contacted support, and they actually guided me through the process. It’s a great plugin with amazingly fast and competent support.
