“They did the responsible and amazing thing of checking their own code and fixing the issue without blaming my setup like many other plugin developers, and only for that amazing service I am sure that I will be happy to purchase more licenses for friends of my wife who are interested in the same booking system.“

“I mean, I think you should provide the possibility of adding more than one employee to the reservations. That when creating a reservation from the calendar, it is not possible to enter the client's phone number among the data. That it does not allow more data to be displayed in the Preview of the calendar cards.“

### "Great value and does the job "

April 21, 2022

5.0

I love how responsive support is.

Pros

I like how the backend of the plugin works well and looks very nice - such a refreshing thing compared to a lot of other plugins. It allows us to do a lot of complicated booking without hiring a custom development firm. I also like that there is lifetime license and the pricing is very reasonable for small businesses.

Cons

A few glitches here and there. Like we cannot seem to make custom fonts work and also cannot find a way to easily customize button styles.

Reason for choosing Amelia

It does almost everything I need to do without a high price tag

### "Amelia - Wanted to love it but just couldn't"

October 12, 2023

4.0

After about 2 months of trying to get it to work we gave up and went back to Calendly and then TidyCal for our scheduler.

Pros

I loved the ability to load onto my Wordpress site with a plug in and sent auto reminders for appointments

Cons

We never were able to get the time zone issue figured out even with multiple calls to customer support - who attempted to be helpful.

Reason for choosing Amelia

Was able to purchase it at a very low price

### "Worked until it didn't"

July 3, 2021

2.0

I bought this a few years ago because it was affordable. It worked fairly well. When I needed assistance I was told I had to submit a new ticket under a new email address instead of just having the problem addressed. Eventually Amelia stopped working. Amelia said it was because of a plugin. I uninstalled all plugins and the problem persisted. Amelia then said it was because of server. I contacted server (Host Gator). HG told me it was because of Amelia. The issue was never resolved. Long story short it is not a good product as it will stop working leaving your business in peril.

Pros

inexpensive, simple, more words her to fill minimum word quota on this question

Cons

limited tech support, stopped working all of a sudden, couldn't resolve issue

Response from TMS

July 14, 2021

Hello Justin. We're sorry to hear you are not satisfied with Amelia. Full support for the plugin is offered only to paying customers, so if our agents asked you to open a new ticket under Amelia section, they did it so they could verify the purchase. Either way, if the plugin didn't work correctly, your issue should've been addressed regardless if your support expired or not. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. If the issues you were experiencing were manifested in a manner that is similar to a conflict, the first step is to troubleshoot by deactivating other plugins, but if that didn't work either, we could've logged into your website, and see where the issue is coming from. The plugin is working correctly, and we would like to see what's going on with yours - to help you out, so please feel free to open a new ticket on our official support platform, and our support agents will gladly assist you! Once again, sorry for the inconvenience.

### "It is great to integrate automatic scheduling on your wordpress site"

May 12, 2022

5.0

Good

Pros

I used it on one of my websites to handle automatic scheduling with trainees as well as clients. Also, I could add my team easily, and each had his own profile, services, pricing, and schedule. It was super useful.

Cons

I wish I could integrate with another tool to take the customer database into MailChimp or another CRM.

### " A powerful booking plugin — ideal for photographers and studios"

July 8, 2025

5.0

After 5 years of using Amelia as a reliable and professional booking system, I can confidently say it has become an essential part of my workflow as a photographer. Over time, it has matured into a very stable plugin, even with regular updates. The interface is clean, modern, and easy to use for both clients and admins. Now that I’ve upgraded to the Elite license, I’m planning to build a full automated workflow using Amelia's REST API to streamline my back-office and CRM tasks. This will allow me to go even further in customizing and integrating the booking experience into my website. Amelia has grown with my business, and I’m excited for what’s next.

Pros

As a solo photographer running a portrait studio, I love how Amelia simplifies my entire booking workflow. It offers a clean, customizable interface for clients, automated reminders, and full calendar management – all within WordPress. I no longer have to juggle phone calls and sticky notes. It truly feels like having a virtual assistant that works 24/7.

Cons

n some cases, it's frustrating not to be able to book the same timeslot for multiple services in one go. It would be helpful, especially when clients want to combine short sessions (e.g., ID photo + portrait) during a single appointment.

### "Solid booking plugin with excellent support"

May 30, 2025

5.0

We use Amelia to manage bookings for ceramic workshops, and it has streamlined everything. The customer experience is smooth, and we save a lot of time. Support was outstanding—especially when switching from Google SMTP to Brevo. Everything works great now, and we feel confident using it daily.

Pros

Amelia makes managing bookings incredibly easy. It’s intuitive for both our team and our clients, and the way it integrates into our website keeps everything looking clean and professional.

Cons

We struggled a bit with email notifications at first, especially setting up SMTP correctly. It wasn’t super clear, but once we got support involved, it all came together.

### "Using for consulting bookings and payment"

March 28, 2025

5.0

I've been using the Amelia WordPress plugin and have been really impressed—especially with the custom booking options. It's incredibly flexible and lets you tailor the booking experience to your exact needs. On top of that, the support team was fantastic during setup—responsive, helpful, and quick to resolve any questions I had. Highly recommend if you're looking for a powerful, user-friendly booking solution!

Pros

The custom booking options for one employee across multiple services

Cons

Figuring out Special Days and the initial setup took a support request but they helped me set it up in the Admin.

### "I started with the free version and purchased the premium; I have it on 3 websites"

October 18, 2024

5.0

Excellent. I started with the free version and purchased the premium; I have it on 3 websites.

Pros

I tried the free version first (it came with my theme). Then I bought the premium version ( I can have it on 5 websites) and I have it on 3 websites to date. The support is excellent. I have been impressed with the depth of this plugin from day one and I'm building my digital assets around this plugin. I have spent time with the documentation, which is very detailed ( I build websites-my plan is to build environments where I and other independent contractors can work remotely and virtually) and this is very important. It takes time to set up an online business that is fully functional and supports my business objectives. Ameila makes this possible. It is the best booking plugin to date. Keep up the good work!

Cons

They do not offer website templates! The demo templates arew AWESOME but they do not offer templates. Also, The templates are centered around health and fitness; Offering a variety of templates, say an event organizer template, would have been awesome.

Really happy so far, customer service is good too!

Pros

Responsive and continuously updated and because I bought the lifetime package early, so I look forward to the future road map that Amelia has in the works.

Cons

Not much to hate, but you will need to tinker around a bit. Updates are frequent, so be sure to backup before you update your plugin.

### "Amazing booking system"

February 24, 2022

5.0

I've being using Amelia for a client that handles lots of appointments per day and it have being working better than expected so far. I've I have searched and tested more than 14 different booking appointment systems before decide for Amelia. I didn't find in any other booking appointmen system what Amelia does. Amelia can be integrated with WooCommerce so we can add lots of different payment types on the system. On the lastest release of Amelia, it is possible to change status of the appointments based on WooCommerce payment status, this is integration is amazing because it will only add to your calendar paid appointments and it also integrates with your Google calendar. We had some minor issues with some configurations which I've contacted Amelia's support several times and they were so helful in all our requestments helping to solve all my questions. Amelia is by far the best booking appointment that I already used and their support really got deep into my problem to help me.

Pros

Very easy to use Easy to configure Integration with lots of payment methods using WooCommerce Integration with Google Calendar Notifications system is highly customizable Intuitive dashboard

Cons

When changing an appointment on Google Calendar it does no change on Amelia's interface. But it's not a problem as not other system does that.

Reason for choosing Amelia

Amelia had so for best functionalities, more payment methods, it is much easier to use than others and have a great interface for the users and admins

### "An effective and affordable online booking app."

July 27, 2023

5.0

Honestly, really pleased with the Amelia Plugin. The small Pilates Studio I work for were forced to change their old online booking system when the software company went into administration. I had to do some swift research and find an alternative that didn't blow the small budget. Amelia fitted the bill perfectly. The UI was very different to the previous booking package, but after viewing a few tutorials I flew through the set up. And a big plus was our customers found the front end much easier to navigate. We continued to use the plugin problem free for a year, but encountered a glitch when upgrading to the pro version in order to access a new direct refund function. In fairness to the Amelia team the problem was at my end, but their support team were very patient and went a above and beyond to help me get some new events online urgently, when the Amelia Admin Screens displayed as blank on all my devices!!

Pros

Good user interface which helps with the ease of use. Love the range of customisation. Excellent value for money and lots of informative tutorial videos available.

Cons

We missed a direct refund function which had been available on the software we used for booking previously, but TMS recently added the facility to the Pro version so I upgraded

### "Amelia Booking WP plugin"

March 28, 2024

5.0

Superb overall -features that completely hit the mark for our business, costs that are very reasonable and a comprehensive support package -what's not to like?!

Pros

The plugin installs seamlessly without conflict with other plugins, it is easy to setup, despite it having a huge range of features and options these are laid out so you can get up and running quickly and then adapt/tweak to suit your requirements later. We had been using other booking plugins, none of which came close to the functionality of Amelia. There is a free version to try out many of the features - we had this installed for just a few days before being convinced the full version was the way to go. Pricing structure is great so you don't need to pay for the bits you don't need -and lifetime licenses make this a very affordable option. The support available is excellent -very knowledgeable and responsive teams who know the answers to the most obscure questions.

Cons

Nothing to dislike -this plugin does it all -totally customizable even if you are not a developer!

### "Best native Wordpress Booking Enginge"

November 3, 2022

5.0

I use it for quite some time and never had any issues. Support is also quick and good. Would definitely recommend using it.

Pros

The plugin is very easy to setup and can be perfectly customized to fit the general CI of your company. Booking process is nice and easy for the user and the backend provides all the information needed to manage your bookings.

Cons

They should really look into the possibility to also sync your iCal.
