Best for hosting your own appointment booking
Easy!Appointments is open source appointment booking that you host on your own server, or pay €20 a month to have it hosted for you. Setup needs PHP, MySQL and a cron job, and reminders by email or SMS and online payments are listed as paid custom development.
Who Easy!Appointments is for
- Fits if you can run PHP and MySQL and want to own your booking data
- Works for developers building booking into a site, with webhooks
Who Easy!Appointments is not for
- Not for you if you do not run servers, since self-hosting needs PHP 8.2, MySQL and a cron job
- Skip it if you need reminders or payments out of the box, as both are paid custom work
- Pricey if you want help: support sessions are €60 each and managed hosting is €240 a year
- Watch out: white-label licenses are €50 or €500 one time, and prices exclude VAT

Keep Easy!Appointments, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Easy!Appointments you could make: appointment booking and calendar. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 63 of the 89 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $240 a year. Easy!Appointments is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Appointment booking and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, LDAP and n8n among them, and has an API.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Easy!Appointments’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
