Probono Booking (sold at bk.prbn.org by developer Pellicule) is a WordPress plugin that turns any WordPress site into a booking/reservation system. It is sold under a one-time, perpetual-license model rather than a subscription: a free tier with 57 features, a Pro plan for up to 5 sites at ¥9,800, and a Pro unlimited-sites plan at ¥14,800 (both Pro tiers unlock the same 187 total features and differ only in license scope). The plugin ships with 11 industry-specific templates (beauty salons, restaurants, clinics, law offices, tax/accounting firms, real estate, hospitality, recruitment, pet services, house cleaning, and counseling) and automatically calculates Japanese national and substitute holidays from 1979 through 2099. Booking data is stored entirely inside the customer's own WordPress database, and the vendor states the plugin makes zero external HTTP calls. Pro adds repeat-customer nurturing, revenue/sales reporting, cancellation and no-show prevention (including waitlists and credit-card pre-payment), multi-staff and multi-location management, QR check-in, and membership/ticketing features.
