Biggest opportunity: Swap “appointment booking”, “booking calendar” and “google calendar” for “conferencing”, “dental” and “clinic”. “appointment booking” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “conferencing” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “booking calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “dental” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “google calendar” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “clinic” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.3%
of downloads still active
At least 90 of 3.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 31 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Finally found a booking tool that isn’t a headache to set up! I had this running on my site in about two minutes. The shortcodes make it really easy to put a “Book Now” button or the whole calendar anywhere you want. Fast! The best part is how it handles time slots – it’s very visual and simple to pick when you’re available. I also love that it can syncs with Google Calendar and sends out email notifications automatically so I don’t have to keep checking the dashboard. It’s clean, lightweight, and just works. Definitely worth a try if you need a no-fuss appointment system.

After I tried a few other plugins I found this and I am really happy I did.It was really simple to get it up and running and now I enjoy my clients can book appointments when its convenient for them without emailing or chatting back and forth and its integrated with my Google calendar, so I avoid double bookings! 🙂

I’ve been using a rival plugin for many years, but the latest release has become bloated, and removed a feature that was vital for my work. So I went on the hunt to find a replacement and stumbled across this one. This has the potential to be the game changing booking plugin IMHO. It has enough features to make it flexible to be used in 99% of situations with zero bloat. Being able to choose whether to create a calendar inline (ie on a single page) or as a popup window is a HUGE win. My previous plugin (and most others I’ve tried) holds the explanation about the booking (ie “One hour coaching session with Jane Doe”) within the plugin’s internal pages. This plugin can do that (inline mode), but alternatively you can write all this information in WordPress pages and place a button (using the supplied shortcode) to open up a popup for the specific event (popup mode). This allows for much richer explanations for potential clients. Also Google Calendar integration is included and is simple to set up. The devs are really responsive to bugs and suggestions – the latest release dropped 24 hours after I alerted them to a critical logic bug (which fixed the issue). I am really impressed with this, and cannot recommend it highly enough. I urge you to try it to see if it fits your needs.
