$99 once — that's the whole pricing page
Calendly charges $10/user/mo — roughly $120 a year, every year. Bookslot is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.
Or get Bookslot inside the full suite — every app in the catalog, currently $97 for the bundle. See the bundle →

Honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/booking-page-mvp. $99 buys the packaged installer, 1-click setup, updates and priority support.
Does it sync with Google Calendar?
Not two-way — that's Calendly's strongest feature and we'll say so. Bookslot sends .ics invites your calendar ingests, and you block busy times manually. If you live across 3 synced calendars, Calendly earns its fee.
Do I need a server?
For a public booking page, yes — a $5 VPS with the included Docker setup. Desktop mode works for managing availability and bookings locally.
