Overview
LatePoint is an appointment booking plugin that started as a premium product and now offers a capable free core on WordPress.org. It is known for a clean multi-step booking form and a tidy admin with an analytics dashboard, activity log and import/export tools.
Free versus paid
The free plugin allows unlimited appointments, custom schedules, holidays and time restrictions, and a customer dashboard. Unusually for a free booking plugin, it takes payments through Stripe, PayPal and Razorpay, supports pay-later, and can collect a fixed or percentage deposit. It also handles events with capacity and per-event pricing. It is limited to a single location and does not include multiple agents.
The premium licence unlocks every feature and add-on, whichever plan you buy; Starter, Scale and Agency differ only in the number of sites. Premium adds multiple agents and locations, group and recurring bookings, service extras, bundles, a cart, rescheduling, custom fields, coupons, WooCommerce and extra gateways, invoices and tax, SMS via Twilio, WhatsApp, webhooks, an agent dashboard, and two-way Google Calendar and Outlook sync with Meet, Teams and Zoom links. Apple Calendar sync is also offered.
Strengths
- No feature-gating between paid plans, so pricing is easy to understand.
- Free version handles real payments and deposits.
- Modern booking UX and an admin that is pleasant to work in.
- Event ticketing with QR check-in on premium.
Limitations
Multiple staff, multiple locations and calendar sync all need a premium licence, so the free version mainly suits a single provider. Reminders, SMS and the customer’s own time-zone display are premium. The add-on structure means several plugins to keep updated, even though they are all included.
LatePoint suits salons, studios, clinics and consultants who want a polished, modern booking flow and predictable pricing, and agencies who can use the higher site allowances.
Best for: Businesses that want a modern booking experience with simple, all-inclusive premium pricing.
LatePoint offers one of the strongest free booking cores, especially for payments and deposits, and its premium pricing is refreshingly simple. Teams with several staff or locations will need premium, but at that point they get the full feature set without tier surprises.

How many sites use LatePoint?
Free installs from WordPress.org, the vendor's own claim, and our estimate of paid installs.

Our estimate, see method below.
How we estimated this: The vendor figure (100K+) is within WordPress.org's rounding of the free installs, so it says nothing about paid sites. Website scans by WPoptic find the paid plugin (folder latepoint-pro-features) on 1,552 live sites; they find the free version on 9,095 sites against about 150K WordPress.org installs, so each site found stands for about 10, giving 16K. About 150K free installs x 12% (the usual share of free sites that also run the paid version when some key features are paid, and store owners upgrade more often) gives 18K. Combining these (weighted average) gives about 16K. Likely range: 10K to 24K. This counts sites running the paid version, including sites whose licence has lapsed. Estimates are rough and based on public figures as of 14 Oct 2026.
