Booking Package

77 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

At 10,000 active installs it is a smaller player than the category leaders like Amelia (90,000) and Bookly (60,000), which signals limited community reach.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated July 2026 and tested up to WordPress 7.0.1, so maintenance signals are strong and recent.

User Rating

12/15

An 80 out of 100 score from 15 ratings is decent, but the small sample size makes the rating less reliable than plugins with hundreds of reviews.

Support Health

8/15

Only 2 of 8 support threads (25%) are marked resolved, which is a red flag for users who may need help during setup or troubleshooting.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility scores full marks thanks to the recent update, a tested-up-to version of WordPress 7.0.1, and a minimum PHP requirement of 7.2.

What It Does

Booking Package adds an appointment booking calendar and event calendar to WordPress, letting visitors reserve time slots directly on your site. It is positioned as a simple, lightweight scheduling tool for site owners who do not want a full SaaS booking platform.

Who It's For

This plugin fits small service businesses, freelancers, and local operators who need a basic appointment calendar embedded in their WordPress site without paying for a third-party service. It is best suited to single-location setups where scheduling complexity is low.

Who Should Skip It

Skip this if you run a multi-staff salon, clinic, or enterprise operation that needs SMS reminders, payment processing, group bookings, or deep WooCommerce integration. Larger operations will outgrow its feature set quickly.

The Bottom Line

Booking Package scores 77.41 out of 100 and is a serviceable, well-maintained option for very small WordPress sites that need a basic appointment calendar. Its weak support resolution rate and modest install count, however, mean you should not expect a large community to lean on when things go wrong.

Pick this instead if you want a more polished interface and six times the install base, especially for solo professionals.

Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar, Amelia 83/100

Choose Amelia if you run a multi-staff business and need payments, SMS, and group bookings out of the box.

Booking Calendar 83/100

Go with the classic Booking Calendar plugin if you want the largest community and a long track record of WordPress compatibility.

Online Scheduling and Appointment Booking System, Bookly 82/100

Pick Bookly if you need a premium-tier appointment system with payment gateways and a paid support team.

WP Booking System, Booking Calendar 81/100

Choose WP Booking System if you need more flexible calendar customization and a clean sync-friendly workflow.
