Twilio SMS
WordPress Plugin for
Appointment Scheduling

We bring all of the great features that people are familiar with in their scheduling tool. But with the versatility and freedom that WordPress offers.

Compared to Calendly, customers who use Simply Schedule Appointments find that this plugin offers:

• A better range of styling options to match your website
• More ways to mesh the booking calendars into the website workflow through integrations, for example Gravity Forms and MemberPress.
• And, the package tiers are much less complicated — we don’t charge by number of team members or number of calendars, it’s all unlimited!

Absolutely not! All of our editions (even Free) offer the following unlimited features:

• Booking Calendars
• Appointments
• Email Notifications

And, our Business Edition provides unlimited Team Members.

Twilio costs vary depending on the product you’re using and depending on what country you’re located in. For example, their SMS pricing will include that you pay a monthly fee to use one of their phone numbers plus a pay-as-you-go fee for each message that you send.

For Simply Schedule Appointments users in the USA, the pricing will generally be $1.00/month to use a local number plus $0.0079/message. If you end up sending 1000 messages, this will cost you $7.90 USD.
