How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I am highly impressed with the Bookster plugin, but what truly stands out is their support team. They went above and beyond to help me with custom translations (into Polish) and technical adjustments for my medical practice website. The plugin is intuitive, and whenever I faced a challenge with the calendar view or payment integrations, the developers were responsive and dedicated to finding a solution. It’s rare to find such a committed team behind a WordPress tool. If you are looking for a reliable booking system with top-tier support, I highly recommend Bookster! Thank you for all your help with “Oddech dla Siebie” project.

    Hello Bokster Comunity, I hope everything is going well! I’ve used the bookstore plugin and I am happy to use this plugin. However, I’ve faced some issues with using this plugin. The first thing is that when I’m approved for the pending appointments, I don’t receive any confirmation mail. The second thing is that when users want to change their profile image from the dashboard, there is no response. Thank you. Leon Bhuiyan This topic was modified 1 year, 11 months ago by leonbhuiyan.

    It’s easy to use & efficient. Hence, a must-have for anyone serious about improving their service availability. On admin view, the dashboard provides real-time analysis of WordPress appointments and agent rosters, helping admins and members to gain actionable insights and suggestions for improvement.
