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.
