The premium add-on adds features that this free plugin does not include (such as online payment gateways, WhatsApp notifications, Google Calendar sync, automated email reminders, blocked dates, customer self-service portal, reviews, revenue reports, iCal export and REST API access).
The premium add-on is not required. The free plugin is complete and has no time limits, usage limits, or feature locks.

The plugin also does not load any JavaScript or CSS from remote CDNs — Chart.js, FullCalendar and Cropper.js are bundled with the plugin and served from your own site.
