What it does
Zoho Bookings is an appointment-scheduling tool for service teams. A host creates event types, sets availability, and shares a booking page or website widget; the customer chooses a slot and receives confirmation and reminders. The product also offers group, collective, and resource-based appointment types, plus calendar synchronization.
For a consultation, create an event type, set working hours, and share the booking page. A customer chooses a slot and completes the booking form; Zoho Bookings says it sends a confirmation and reminders and syncs the appointment with connected calendars. Its product guide also describes one-on-one, group, collective, and resource-based event types.
The pricing page lists a free tier for one user and paid plans. It also documents automatic time-zone and language conversion based on the booking visitor’s location. That makes it suitable for client-facing bookings across regions, but a team should check whether the free single-user allowance covers its staffing model.
