What is Zoho Bookings?

Zoho Bookings is an online appointment scheduler. Clients pick a slot on a booking page, and the system checks staff calendars, sends reminders and can take payment upfront. It suits clinics, coaching institutes, consultants, salons and service teams in India that are tired of booking appointments over WhatsApp. It handles one-on-one, group, collective and resource bookings.

Pricing is per user. Zoho's INR pricing data lists Basic at ₹480 and Premium at ₹720 per user per month on monthly billing, dropping to ₹360 and ₹540 on yearly billing. GST is extra. A Forever Free plan covers a single user with two-way calendar sync and email reminders, and the Basic trial needs no credit card.

The catch is that useful features are spread across plans. Basic allows one workspace, while Premium includes three and is the plan Zoho positions for online payments and integrations. Rooms and equipment cost extra as resource add-ons. Calendly is the better-known rival, but Zoho Bookings is cheaper in rupees and connects directly with Zoho CRM, Bigin and Desk.

What works well

+Forever Free plan for one user with calendar sync to Google, Microsoft 365 and Zoho
+Basic costs ₹360 per user per month on yearly billing

What to watch out for

−Basic allows only one workspace, so multi-location businesses need Premium
−Rooms and equipment are sold as separate add-ons
−GST is added on top of listed prices
−Third-party integrations are fewer than Calendly's

Best suited for: Clinics, consultants, tutors and salons taking appointments online · Businesses already using Zoho CRM or Bigin · Multi-branch service businesses on the Premium plan
