Package types
NeetoCal supports two types of packages: Duration-based and Booking-based. When creating a package, you choose the type using two radio button cards on the package form.
Duration-based packages
Duration-based packages allow clients to book meetings until the total package duration is exhausted. For example, a package with 2 hours of duration lets clients book multiple meetings as long as the total time used does not exceed 2 hours.
Each booking deducts the meeting's duration (in minutes) from the remaining package limit.
For group bookings where a client reserves multiple spots, the duration is multiplied by the number of spots. For example, a 30-minute meeting with 3 spots deducts 90 minutes.
For recurring bookings, each occurrence deducts separately.
Booking-based packages
Booking-based packages allow clients to make a fixed number of bookings, regardless of the meeting duration. For example, a package with 5 bookings lets the client book 5 meetings of any duration.
Each booking deducts from the remaining bookings based on the number of spots reserved. A single-spot booking deducts 1; a group booking with 3 spots deducts 3.
For recurring bookings, each occurrence deducts separately. A recurring booking with 4 occurrences and 2 spots each deducts 8 bookings.
How to select a package type
Go to Packages from the left sidebar.
Click Add New Package or edit an existing package.

In the Package type section, you will see two cards:
Duration based — Clients can use this package until the total package duration is exhausted.
Bookings based — Clients can make a fixed number of bookings using this package.
Click on the card to select the package type. The selected card is highlighted in green.

Key differences
| Feature | Duration-based | Booking-based |
|---|---|---|
| What is tracked | Remaining minutes/hours | Remaining number of bookings |
| What each booking deducts | Meeting duration (in minutes) | Number of spots reserved |
| Package limit display | e.g., "2 hours" or "90 minutes" | e.g., "5 bookings" |
| Admin adjustment | Add/deduct minutes | Add/deduct bookings |
| Group bookings (multiple spots) | Duration x number of spots | Number of spots |
Both package types share the same features for payment, code expiry, scheduling link visibility, and purchase history. The only difference is how the package limit is tracked and deducted.
