What is Zoho Bookings?

Zoho Bookings is appointment scheduling software with booking pages, reminders and online meetings. Its Forever Free plan is for one user and includes customisable booking links, online meetings, email notifications and reminders, and two-way calendar sync with Zoho, Google and Microsoft 365 or Outlook.com. Paid plans add more staff and features, and yearly billing saves over 25%.
