Great Plugin - simple to use with usefull Features
Coming form Amelia, Hydra is really a breath of fresh air. I can now make individual time slots available with one user. No working times with mulitble employees hack like with Amelia. Also the settings are much simpler. I know it has not as much features as amelia but for single coaches this is far superior.

Great Booking plugin
I recently made the switch to HydraBooking plugin across all my websites and honestly, I wish I had done it sooner. The mobile-friendly layout works beautifully, team access makes managing everything so much easier, and the WooCommerce integration fits right into my existing setup without any hassle. On top of that, the support team has been genuinely helpful whenever I needed them. If you're looking for a reliable booking plugin, this is it.
