Our Verdict
Bookly's $89 one-time price looks attractive, but essential add-ons (Google Calendar, Zoom, recurring appointments) push the real cost to $200-400+, plus $49/year for updates. It also locks you into WordPress. SchedulingKit runs independently, includes calendar sync free, and adds AI chatbot and voice agent, all for $12/seat/month. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your team size, budget, and which integrations you rely on daily. Testing each platform with a free trial before committing to an annual contract is the most reliable way to evaluate fit.
