Our verdict
Amelia suits small businesses and beginners who book appointments on a WordPress site and want a free plan to start with. It is a wordpress plugin and scheduling that lives inside WordPress rather than a separate app, and its overall score of 9.2 says the free plan holds up.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A free plan is included, so the entry price for a site testing bookings is nothing at all.
- The listed model is free plan, so scheduling is not gated behind a trial that expires on you.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community, so a help centre and a community sit next to email.
- Appointy works to a cap of 100 appointments per month, while the free plan here carries no monthly appointment ceiling.
- The listed audiences are beginners, small business and enterprise, so the same plugin covers a beginner setting up a calendar and an enterprise rollout.
Cons
- The free tier is where the trade-off sits: Lite excludes unlimited employees and multilingual, so a large staff rota and a multilingual calendar both mean paying.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, with no phone line for a booking diary that is about to fail during opening hours.
- It is a wordpress plugin and scheduling, so the plugin needs WordPress running on the site, which rules it out for anything built on another platform.

Scored 9.2 / 10 by ForgeCue.
Who it suits
- Small businesses already running a WordPress site who want bookings handled on the pages they own.
- Beginners who want a free plan to try scheduling before spending anything.
- Teams who can live with the Lite caps, since Lite excludes unlimited employees and multilingual pushes unlimited staff and multiple languages onto a paid plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone not on WordPress: Amelia is a wordpress plugin and scheduling, and Appointy, which allows 100 appointments per month, is the route to check if your site runs on something else.
- Practices needing unlimited employees or multilingual service from the outset: Lite excludes unlimited employees and multilingual keeps both off the free plan, so weigh Pocket, which allows 2 Ask Pocket messages per day.
- Sites that only need a plain booking link per event: Flexibits allows 1 set, 1 invitee per event and sits lighter than a full scheduling wordpress plugin and scheduling.
Who runs it
Amelia is run by TOUCH ME SOFT D.O.O., the legal entity named in the terms, and the company sits in Serbia. It has been shipping since 2018, so the plugin is young for a category where buyers expect to run the same tool for years. Support runs on email, help centre and community: email, a help centre, and a community, which means answers arrive in writing and in public threads rather than over a phone line. For a plugin that will sit on a customer facing site, that arrangement works, and the company behind the terms is the same one answering the mailbox.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan, and what does it cost to start?+
A free plan is included, and it is the only entry listed: free plan. That means the entry price is nothing for a site that wants to put a booking calendar on its pages before deciding on a paid tier. You are not signing up for a trial that expires and takes the calendar with it.
What does the free tier leave out?+
The free tier is narrower than the name suggests. Lite excludes unlimited employees and multilingual means an unlimited employee count and a multilingual calendar sit on a paid plan rather than the free one, so a clinic with a deep staff rota or a site serving more than one language should price the paid plan before signing up.
Is Amelia a plugin or a separate service?+
It is a wordpress plugin and scheduling, so scheduling sits inside a WordPress site rather than on a separate domain your customers have to visit. Anyone already running WordPress keeps the calendar on the same pages as the rest of the business, and anyone on another platform cannot use it at all.
How do you get help when a booking breaks?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community, which is email plus a help centre plus a community, so answers are written down and searchable later. There is no phone channel in that set, so a business that leans on calling a rep during opening hours should plan around that.
Who is behind Amelia?+
The company behind the terms is TOUCH ME SOFT D.O.O., based in Serbia, and the project has been running since 2018. That is a young operation, so check that this is the same entity your invoice and your own paperwork will name.
How does the free plan compare with Appointy?+
Appointy works on a stated allowance of 100 appointments per month, so a busy month runs into the cap and the next tier costs more. The free plan here carries no such monthly figure, which suits a business that would rather not meter its own bookings.
Who is Amelia built for?+
The listed audiences are beginners, small business and enterprise, so it covers a beginner setting up a calendar and an enterprise running many locations. The spread is broad, and the deciding question is whether Lite excludes unlimited employees and multilingual works for your setup rather than the size of your company.
Is there a discounted intro price that jumps at renewal?+
Nothing in the listed models is a trial, since free plan is the only entry, so there is no introductory price paired with a higher renewal figure. The free plan carries the entry side of the decision. For anything longer, compare the yearly figure on the paid tier against what the free plan already covers.
Is Amelia overkill for simple one-off bookings?+
For the simple case of a single set booked per event, Flexibits covers it with 1 set, 1 invitee per event. Amelia earns its place when staff need a shared calendar inside a WordPress site, not when a plain booking link would do the job.
