Not currently. Calendon is designed for per-session booking and payment. Multi-session packages are currently in development.

Calendon Pro is $5/month. Paperbell is $57/month ($47.50/month billed annually), over 11 times the price. For coaches who do not need the full client management suite, Calendon covers the core booking and payment use case at a fraction of the cost.
