Every Bookly Pro license is a one-time per-site purchase that unlocks the full feature set above — there are no per-staff seat fees, no per-booking commissions, and no monthly subscription gates on core functionality. A single Bookly Pro plugin install turns WordPress into a complete booking system: customizable forms, multi-step checkout, calendar sync, payment processing, and notifications. From a one-person consultancy to a multi-location service business, the same Pro license scales without changing the WordPress booking system you already know.

Bookly PRO FAQ

What is Bookly?

Bookly is the WordPress appointment booking plugin published on WordPress.org since 2014, with 60,000+ active installations and 3.5M+ cumulative downloads. It lets service businesses — salons, clinics, consultants, coaches, tutors — accept online bookings directly on their WordPress site, with staff schedules, service catalog, payments, and automated notifications.

Not to be confused with Bookly Book Tracker (an unrelated iOS reading app) or bookly.com (not affiliated). The official Bookly resource is booking-wp-plugin.com; the free plugin lives at wordpress.org/plugins/bookly-responsive-appointment-booking-tool.

How much does Bookly PRO cost?

Bookly PRO for 1 WordPress site is $49/year or $129 lifetime. Both include full PRO features on one licensed domain with unlimited services and staff.

If you need more sites or want add-ons bundled in, Business (1 or 5 sites, from $149/year or $349 lifetime) and Ultimate (20 or 100 sites, from $249/year or $599 lifetime) include add-ons that would otherwise be purchased separately. Full breakdown: booking-wp-plugin.com/pricing.

Is Bookly PRO free? What's the difference from the free plugin?

Bookly PRO is a paid upgrade to the free Bookly plugin. The free version on WordPress.org covers up to 5 services and 1 staff member with basic booking. Bookly PRO adds:

  • Unlimited services and staff
  • Notifications (email, SMS, WhatsApp)
  • Coupons and deposits
  • Custom booking form fields
  • WooCommerce integration
  • Google Calendar 2-way sync (via add-on)
  • Access to 40+ paid add-ons

PRO starts at $49/year for a single site.

How do I install Bookly PRO on WordPress?

  • Purchase Bookly PRO on booking-wp-plugin.com/pricing. You receive a license key and a download link for the PRO ZIP file.
  • In your WordPress admin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload the ZIP, click Install Now, then Activate.
  • Enter your license key in the Bookly menu (Settings → License). Done.

If you already run the free Bookly plugin, install PRO on top — no data migration needed. Services, staff, appointments are preserved and continue on PRO.
