Is Amelia worth the price?
Yes, if:
- You run a salon, clinic or studio with several employees, services and locations.
- You sell events as well as appointments.
- You will use it for three years or more and can buy the lifetime licence.
Look elsewhere if:
- You are a solo professional booking calls; a simpler plugin costs less.
