Web developer Media Production ### "Works, good service - but can be buggy" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 March 21, 2026 I have vibe-coded an app that does that and it works really good. I no longer use Amelia and I won't renew the yearly license this summer. Pros It's still a great way to book appointment within wordpress. It integrates with my website ui and does the job. Cons In the last year I had some major bugs- especiialy with the automated reminders. Some of the clients reported bugs while trying book new appointments and lots of time I had to manually doing client bookings. I can say that the support team really tried to be helpful, but unfortunately I decided to move to another solution. I can add that some major issues that I found important to make the app better weren't part of a major upgrade they did this year, including the ability to use my phone number as the whatsapp tool for the clients (so they will be able to text back). Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Lack of WhatsApp integration, higher price and no way to integrate with local payment gateways.

Administrator Construction ### "Polished front end, lots of options, good support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 23, 2026 I’ve reached out to support a number of times (chat and email). They’re not an “instant reply 24/7” service, especially outside weekdays, but when they do respond it’s clear they’ve actually read the question. The answers are thoughtful, they try to solve the problem properly, and when something isn’t part of the product direction they explain the reasoning rather than fobbing you off. Because it’s a feature-heavy plugin, I’ve ended up doing a bit of fine-tuning with PHP/CSS (sometimes using AI tools to speed things up). That hasn’t bothered me — in my experience with more advanced software, a little tailoring is normal if you want everything exactly right. I also understand from my own time working in software (I spent 18 months at Oracle as an associate software engineer) that complex products always have a backlog, and that new releases can occasionally introduce unexpected issues. What matters is whether the team keeps improving, listens to users, and stands behind the product — and that’s been my experience here. Overall, I’m happy to continue using Amelia and I expect it will keep improving over time. Pros What I really like is how polished and configurable it is. The front-end looks professional out of the box, and there’s plenty of flexibility to tailor the booking experience to suit your business rather than forcing you into one rigid layout Cons We use Amelia for Events but the default is always Appointments I wish you could chose to default to Events.

AU Anonymous User Owner Sports ### "Great plugin, great customer support. Real value for money" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 3, 2025 Really quick installation of the plugin. In addition the configuration was easy and very intuitive. After I couldn't get a service to activate I contacted support which answered over the weekend, which was followed up by xustomer support today. All in all excellent experience, and I would strongly advice non-developers to use this plugin! Pros Loved the ease of installation and the customer support after I ran into problems, such a big improvement from the Calendly plugin I used previously! Would strongly recommend adding this to your website! Cons Thus far the only downside I found was the need for having an active employee in your installation and the requirement that employee is visible on the website Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Calendly lacked features and support for their plugin.

It makes bookings so much easier and the platform its great overall. Pros It's so easy to add services and create slots for your bookings. Also, the support team is great and always willing to help you. Cons The rebooking process its a bit confusing to set up in the backend. But with the amazing help of the support team, everything is possible. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

If you need this kind of plugin, stop searching and take a licence. You will not regret it. Pros Basically every part of Amelia is efficient, easy to use and implement. I could not operate as a business without it. Cons Nothing comes to mind. Everytime I had a bug or a problem, the support was prompt to answer, taking the time to guide me through steps and provide solutions.

ME Maurice E. na Music ### "Powerfull Plugin with some quirks, great support (Pro)" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 19, 2025 I have been using Amelia Pro for a few months now and it is a great plugin offering quite a bit of functionality. For me it was really important to have events & appointments in one plugin as well as the possibility of a lifetime licence rather than subscriptions models. The plugin has some quirks and missing features (event tickets & dedicated pages per event rather than popups …), but the support has always been helpful and dedicated to fix any issues I’ve run into. Pros \- Ability to manage both events & appointments - integrated payment solutions & integration with woocommerce - decent costumisation options - very dedicated support - lifetime licence rather than yearly subscription Cons \- some missing features (but development continues) - sometimes unintuitive ui - somewhat lacking documentaion Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Cons A bit more movement and flexibility in the settings would be desirable. Translation isn't always perfect, but it's not a problem and can be adjusted with a little effort.

Photographers Photography ### " A powerful booking plugin — ideal for photographers and studios" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 8, 2025 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.

DB Denico B. Operations Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Great for small simple businesses does NOT work for complex booking requirements" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 June 28, 2025 I feel like this company is trying to sell a bigger solution than they have the infrastructure and resources to do. They have only thought about the platform from a platform perspective and have not thought about the actual use case. You can set up multiple branches and have numerous employees but there is no function for a branch manager view, you cannot look at the calendar and get a full view of the branches appointments for the day. Pros The price is reasonable compared with some other booking platforms however despite selling the platform like it can handle complex booking solutions it cannot really Cons The sell it has a system that can handle complex businesses but it cannot. Great from small companies but the more complex the business the less it works. There is no receptionist / practice manager view. Becomes difficult to use the more branches and more employees you have. The calendar views are not user friendly. Team members cannot see each others appointments UNLESS you give them full admin access to your entire backend of your website. Switched from [SimplyBook.me](https://www.capterra.com/p/140086/Simplybook-me/) It became expensive the more branches I added. Did not have a very cost effective enterprise package Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
