About Bookly

A booking form is one of the few things on a small business website with money moving behind it. Most plugins add a feature. Bookly adds an operation: a customer picks a slot, a staff member is assigned, a reminder goes out, and in many installations a deposit is taken on the spot. Detecting the plugin therefore says more about the business than about the website.

Nota-Info has published the plugin since 2014. The software is written in PHP for WordPress, licensed under GPL v2, and sold as a free core with a paid tier adding calendar synchronisation, messaging and payment features. The commercial model matters to anyone reading the data, because a meaningful part of the installed base has already paid for software once and can be sold to again.

The businesses underneath are consistent. Salons and barbers, dental and medical practices, physiotherapists, driving instructors, tutors, studios, repair shops, consultants and trades that run on appointments. Each has a location, a phone number, staff and a calendar, and each has already accepted that customers should be able to book without calling. For payment providers, messaging services, review platforms and competing scheduling products, that acceptance is the expensive half of the sale and it has already happened.

As of September 2026 the plugin is detected on 27,798 sites, 11,217 of them in United States, with domain volume concentrated in .com. Version data sharpens the list considerably. We record 166 distinct release strings with readings clustering on 28.0, which spreads the population across many years of releases. A scheduling plugin left several major versions behind usually belongs to a site nobody maintains, while a current build implies a live business with an active supplier relationship and a renewal date. Segmenting by version is what separates a prospect from a ghost.

The surrounding stack fills in the rest of the profile. A booking plugin sitting beside a payment gateway means money changes hands at the moment of the appointment. Beside a messaging or reminder service it means the business already pays to cut down on missed slots. Beside neither, on an otherwise plain installation, it usually means somebody set up a form and stopped there, which is a different conversation and often an easier one to open. Geography carries more weight here than it does for infrastructure software, because appointment businesses are local by definition and an outreach list only works when the language, currency and payment habits behind it match.

Detection has an obvious weakness with plugins of this kind. Assets are frequently loaded only on the page carrying the booking form, so a scan that sees a home page and nothing else will miss installations and the count runs low. Presence also proves the software is installed, not that appointments are being taken. The realistic workflow is to treat the download as a qualified starting population, filter it by version, country and the rest of the stack, then verify liveness on the shortlist that survives. A per-domain lookup can confirm one salon. Only the full extraction tells you how many salons there are and which of them are still open for business.
