It has been a highly successful booking product. The integration with my Google calendar has been the key to its success for me. Especially as I have clients all over the world in multiple timezones. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, like most booking software providers they have split the product into individual features that are being charged for. This makes an otherwise value packed product, now more expensive for the average consumer. > > I have had great success with Bookly as a product and definitely recommend it to the point that there is no other product on the market that I bother to look at. Bookly works. Bookly is flexible for most business situations where booking appointments is important. ----- ### "Regarding Service" — 1.0/5 > **Danny** | *12 August 2024* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the platform, but it’s a scam. It’s not working. It’s only work for short time. > > **Cons**: Never like anything Worst ever experience I purchased a license code to use Bookley plug-in to my website, however I purchased for 12 month is work only 3 months it got cancelled after that. I was not sure what’s the reason. I tried to contact the customer service regarding this issue while I was doing that I did not want to my booking system to be down, I purchased another one. It didn’t work either because The code they sell it to me it was registered under different domain company. I’m not sure how they sell a code when it’s already registered under different company almost 2 weeks going back and forth with Customer Service never got any result. When I send an email to Customer Service they get back to me the next day asking me for stupid things never answering my question or resolved my problem , finally I give up I purchased different plug in company never again. This is a scam company. > > Worst ever experience I purchased a license to use Bookley plug in to my website, however I purchased for 12 month it work only 3 months it got cancelled after that.

Online bookings are not a big part of my business so I can't justify the cost of upgrading. ----- ### "Booking software with advanced functions\!" — 4.0/5 > **Behruz** | *27 December 2018* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I must admit, that i'm surprised of how advanced the plugin is. That you're actually able to use it without woocommerce and alone by it self. I like the most, that it actually integrates with woocommerce helping my customers achvie complex soultions > > **Cons**: The frequent changes to packages and pro solutions. The latest changes have done much hazzle. > > Well developed plugin with additional options (their add'ons). They're also listening to the community and implementing features that are requested by the users. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/279607/bookly-plugin?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/279607/bookly-plugin) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
