Free Booking Calendar Widget for Your Website
Add a Booking Calendar widget to any website — forever free, no credit card required.
What you get
Everything included in the free plan
The honest answer
Why is it free? Here’s the honest answer.
The free plan has SociableKIT branding on the widget — a small “Powered by SociableKIT” link at the bottom. That’s how we keep it free, forever.
The free plan is 1 widget, 1 source, 2,000 monthly views, and manual sync requests. Most small sites never outgrow it. When you do need more sources, automatic sync, or no branding, our paid plans start at $10/month.
No hidden costs. No trial that auto-charges. No credit card required. SociableKIT has offered a free plan since 2014, and we’re not changing that.

Common questions
Free plan FAQ
Everything you need to know about using Booking Calendar for free.
What is a Booking Calendar widget?
A Booking Calendar widget places your connected availability and scheduling experience directly on your website. It helps visitors find an open time and take the next step without sending messages back and forth.
How do I add a booking calendar to my website without coding?
Create the widget in SociableKIT, connect your booking calendar source, customize the design, and copy the generated embed code. Paste it into an HTML, custom code, iframe, or embed block on your website.
What do I need to connect my booking calendar?
You need a published and working booking page or calendar source that SociableKIT supports. Confirm that its services, availability, time zone, and booking rules are correct before embedding it.
Can visitors book directly from my website?
Yes, the widget can place the connected booking experience inside your website so visitors can view available times and schedule more easily. The connected booking platform remains responsible for creating and managing the final reservation.
Do I need an API key or a developer to install the widget?
No custom API development is required for the standard SociableKIT setup. You receive a reusable embed code that can be added to any supported website builder.
Will availability changes update automatically?
Yes, paid SociableKIT plans include automatic syncing, so you can keep the same embed code when eligible source information changes. The free plan lets you request a manual sync when you want to refresh the widget.
How quickly will a calendar change appear on my website?
The change must first be saved and available in the connected booking source. It can then appear after the next SociableKIT sync, so website updates may not be instant.
Can the widget prevent double bookings?
Double-booking protection depends on the connected booking system checking its calendars and availability before confirming a time. SociableKIT displays the booking experience but does not replace the source system that reserves and blocks each slot.
Can I offer different services, durations, or appointment types?
Yes, when those options are already configured in the connected booking source. SociableKIT can present the resulting booking experience, while service names, durations, prices, and availability remain managed at the source.
Can customers choose a staff member, room, or resource?
They can when the connected booking system supports staff or resource selection and you have configured it correctly. SociableKIT does not create those assignments by itself but keeps the booking flow accessible from your website.
Can I set buffer time, minimum notice, or daily booking limits?
These scheduling rules should be configured in the connected booking source. When the source uses them to calculate availability, the website booking experience can reflect the resulting open time slots.
Will customers receive booking confirmations and reminders?
Confirmations, reminders, and follow-up messages depend on the features and settings of the connected booking platform. SociableKIT embeds the booking flow but does not send appointment emails or text messages independently.
Can customers cancel or reschedule their bookings?
They can when the connected booking system provides cancellation or rescheduling controls. Set your notice periods and policies at the source so customers receive the correct options after booking.
Can I accept payments or deposits through the widget?
Payment collection depends on the connected booking platform or a separate approved checkout process. SociableKIT does not independently process appointment payments, deposits, refunds, or transaction fees.
How does the Booking Calendar widget handle time zones?
Time-zone behavior comes from the connected booking source and the settings used for the business and customer view. Check the published widget from another device or location to confirm that visitors see the correct appointment times.
Can I collect custom questions or customer consent?
Custom fields, required questions, and consent messages must be configured in the connected booking system when it supports them. Customer and appointment records remain managed by that source rather than being stored as booking records inside SociableKIT.
Can I accept group, class, or capacity-based bookings?
Yes, when the connected booking platform supports several attendees reserving the same time slot. Set the capacity and service rules at the source so the remaining availability stays accurate.
Can I display multiple calendars, locations, or booking pages?
Yes, additional booking calendars can be connected as separate sources and used in their own widgets. Choose a SociableKIT plan with enough sources for the teams, services, branches, or locations you want to feature.
Is the Booking Calendar widget mobile responsive and customizable?
Yes, the widget adjusts to desktop, tablet, and mobile screens and can be styled with your colors, fonts, layout, spacing, and calls to action. SociableKIT works with major website builders and other platforms that accept HTML, JavaScript, an iframe, or custom embed code.
Is there a free plan, unlimited views, and customer support?
SociableKIT offers a free plan with one source, one widget, 2,000 monthly views, full design customization, branding, and sync requests. Paid plans add automatic syncing and unlimited widget views, with human chat and email support available 24/7.
