Amelia
A simple but powerful Elementor compatible appointment plugin. Amelia comes highly recommended among Elementor users worldwide. It is in fact, the most recommended appointment plugin in the Facebook Elementor Community and in the words of a member of the Community:
It works round the clock everyday, even while you sleep and carries out an automated interaction with potential clients.

Amelia booking is what I use for multiple clients. It has all features you need. Like 2-way sync with Google Agenda, works with WooCommerce, PayPal and Stripe payment etc

There is therefore no doubt that the Amelia plugin happens to be one of the best out there at the moment. In fact, if you need a comprehensive online booking system, Amelia will most definitely work for you!
Front end demo:

The Amelia free version for instance, only permits basic plugin settings, restricts access to premium support and does not allow Google Calendar synchronization among other things. Most of the settings in the free version are part of the General Settings only.

Amelia also has a lifetime option on these three plans. Meaning you can choose to make a one off payment that you don’t have to renew every year. Cool, right?
Pros

- Simple and easy to use
- Has a comprehensive calendar view in WordPress Admin

Easy Appointments
This is an open source plugin on WordPress that allows you to do your calendaring quite easily. For a package that comes at no cost, easy appointment is doing well in reviews across the Elementor Communities. A member has this to say about the plugin:
“
”
I have used the easy-appointments and had a great experience with it. It was a little difficult to figure out how to create multiple slots available for the same time, but you just had to duplicate the schedule, for the number of slots you wanted. After I got through that, it seemed to be a really powerful plugin.
Elementor Community Member
Main Features:
- Allows multiple locations, services and workers
- Highly customizable
- Allows Email notifications
- Responsive design
- Has a fine granular option to create complex schedules
- Allows Building of bulk connections
- Single column responsive bootstrap layout for appointment forms
- Supports language translation
- Localization of datepicker for 77 different languages.
Pricing:
Easy Appointment is free but you would have to purchase an extension plugin to allow integrations with Paypal, Ical and Woocommerce and Google Calendar synchronisation.
This extension plugin comes in two plans:
- The Extension Starter Plan goes for $39 for updates for one year
- The Extension Pro Plan goes for $59 for updates for two years.
Pros:
- Comes as a free plan unless you need to get the extension plugin
- Very flexible
Cons:
- You will most likely need the features that are only available when you purchase the extension plugin.
Conclusion
The above plugins are all great, and all have their own unique interface and features. I recommend you give them a try and see which ones work good for you!
Although I will add this: if you aren't certain with which one you should go, just do yourself a favor and get Amelia. It's that great. I've been personally using it for a few years now, without any problems.
