Looking for a way for your clients to book with you online? Look no further!
Calendly has given me the ability to let my clients book time with me in an easy, effective, efficient and streamlined way - I know I've said this over and over again, that' because it's true! In 2022, there's nothing better than trying an new product that works EXACTLY as it's advertised to work while also providing much more features than you thought were possible/knew you needed. Calendly has helped me to streamline my workflow through creating an easy booking process that requires almost no effort from me. Set it and forget it.
PROSI love the simplicity of Calendly both on the front end and the back end. My clients can book through a Calendly link that takes them to a professional looking booking page where only my available times can be selected while my personal information (calendar appointments and such) is kept private. On the back end, it is easy to create various kinds of events and include in them features such as booking questions, FAQs and various other information and options.
CONSI have yet to find anything about calendly that i don't like. One place they can improve is to allow clients to book recurring events without having to answer the scheduling questions for each booking.
Reason for choosing Calendly
Essentially the main reason is because the project I'm working on is not my own, that said, Calendly offers similar features to both, but in a more streamlined, easy to use way. Even though I use Wix as my website builder, I prefer calendly as my booking software.
Reasons for switching to Calendly
I'm actually currently weighing the benefits of both in order to make a final decision. I was told to try Calendly as a part of a collaborative project that I'm participating in. I enjoy using both softwares, but Calendly seems to have more features and seems to be more intuitive and easy to use because of that. That said, I still love Koalendar.

Calendly is One of the Best Scheduling and Booking Management Programs
Though I my experience with Calendly has been mainly as someone booking an appointment with another party, I was impressed when I joined Calendly to see how many other features the program has that are also very helpful and useful! However, my favorite feature is still the booking system, as it is easy, quick, and a simple process. Overall, my experience with Calendly has been very positive and I am eager to explore its additional features in the near future.
PROSMost of my experience with Calendly is as someone sent a link to one's Calendly account in order to book an appointment with them (job interview, client meeting, etc). I love how straightforward the scheduling is; the interface clearly shows what dates that person is available for the rest of the month and for several months in the future. Once you select your date of choice, it lists specific times for that day that you can schedule your time to meet. It allows you to compare time slots on different dates, which is great if your own availability is best for a certain time of day (such as in the evening). The scheduling feature completely removes the annoying back and forth emailing and phone calls and allows you to pick a date and time that works best for both parties in a matter of minutes. Recently I have gained experience as someone who sends my Calendly link to others in order for them to make appointments to meet with me, and I can tailor my booking availability according to my own schedule and calendar prior to sending the link to the person I want to meet with it. Once the person clicks my email link and books an appointment with me, Calendly immediately updates the program to reflect that I have an appointment booked with that particular person on that date and time, and sends me confirmation emails as well. If something comes up on either end and the date and/or time of the meeting needs to be changed, doing so through Calendly allows you to immediately reschedule.
CONSAs someone with somewhat limited experience with Calendly, I don't really have any complaints- I am looking forward to exploring Calendly's many features in the months to come. Thus far I do not have any cons to list.

While the most popular, not the most feature rich.
If you are good with tech, it's pretty straightforward and simple to deploy and use. Non tech folks will find it challenging to set up and will need help. Doesn't support multiple calendars out of the box and you need to subscribe to other calendars to make it work. A poor work around. Ultimately went with another solution.
PROSPretty straightforward if you're good with tech. Clean and well laid out booking system. Really good for individuals who have a single calendar and need simple bookings. Has everything you would expect from a booking tool such as reminders, custom fields, time zones, etc...
CONSPoor implantation with multiple calendars.

Very Productive and Simple
Calendly has been very convenient and efficient for scheduling interviews, meetings, and in-house discussions. It has easy integration with various calendar applications, simplifies the process of setting up meetings and appointments, and helps streamline scheduling workflows. Although the user-friendly interface has limited room for exploration, the automated reminders keep me alert and I never missed a meeting. This has made Calendly my go-to app for team and client meeting scheduling platform.
PROSEasy schedulingTime zone conversionCustomizable availabilityIntegration with calendarsMultiple event types, andAutomated reminders
CONSLimitations of Customization featuresVery limited/No Customer support Basic user-interface More dependent on external calendars
Reason for choosing Calendly
Calendly was handy and has more community acceptance and users. Actually, the kind of marketing that was used to sell Calendly is more appealing to us than the others. Calendly offers basic solutions, in an effective way, making life simpler. Google Meet is fine but does not come to mind quickly when I think of scheduling a client meeting as Calendly does.

Useful, easy to use, modern
Great experience, I use it on a daily basis and it feels great, the cons are just small details, mostly trivial.
PROSGreat interface: Calendly feels modern and intuitive, it is extremely easy to find what you are looking for and accomplish the tasks you need.Feels modern: The whole experience in Calendly feels fresh and modern, while this might not be important to some people, when you use something on a daily basis it definitely feels good.Easy to manage: Managing multiple calendars and team members is easy, you have all the options at hand and you can make changes, creates new calendars, add team members in few clicks.Automations: The automation options are great, although they could be better. For a basic user
CONSWould be great to have some extra Zaps to be used in Zapier, right now the existing options are limiting to a point where you need to integrate other tools to be able to accomplish certain workflows.After creating a calendar and defining the type, you can't really change it, instead you have to create a brand new calendar from scratch, quite annoying to figure this out after you have created and configured everything.

Easy Access Appointment Scheduling
The ability for customers to quickly view the appointment calendar and schedule an appointment at their convenience is a time-saver. Additionally, the integration with multiple apps and website widgets makes the product well worth the cost.
CONSIt would be helpful to manually bypass appointment rules and schedule appointments as the user / admin.

Simple one click solution to make yourself available to anyone anywhere
Extremely positive as I was able to quickly and efficiently make myself available for new meetings with one click.
PROSStreamlined scheduling has saved me an immense amount of time. One link is all it takes for partners to pick a time that works for me and them. Additionally the ability to integrate multiple calendars (Personal + private) is amazing for productivity, connecting with new partners and clearly managing my availability.
CONSProviding and extending more options and better UI for building conditional questions in the event scheduler, would really help streamline and extend complex data collection.

A Convenient Mobile-friendly Alternative to Basic Scheduling.
I have generally had an easy time using Calendly. It has helped my business and staff.
PROSThe multi-calendar managment has improved the logistics of my business, as well as helped my staff manage their time with clients better.
CONSAt times it is tricky to input schedule times from the drop-down menu, but you can also do it manually. I would also need to convert the app to a 24-hour clock format.

A few good features but kinda redundant
It has been OK. And since it is helpful to my vendors to plan their meetings with me and since it reduces the amount of communication needed to plan those meetings, I will continue using it.
PROSI like the ability to clearly state my availability for consultation appointments. I can highlight specific block of times and even change them later on. That allows the vendor reaching out to me to plan accordingly without back and forth emails, calls etc.
CONSFor those that may be a little technologically challenged it is a little redundant when all sorts of appointment reminders and scheduling tools are in our hands already

IT changed my business right from the start
I have used calendly extensively. I do not know how I would handle appointment setting without it. I have used many other tools and no one compares. calendly is very easy to use. and very powerful at the same time. It is one of the software subscriptions that I make my annual investment on, every year. and they never stop bringing new functionality. Calendly is a great tool for professionals!!!1
PROSThe User Interface is really friendly, and that makes everything very easy to accomplish. Since the beginning, the power of calendly was very easy to use. I could do complicated scheduling setups without having to know all the ins and outs, screens, menus of calendly. I cannot say this of many software tools, to be honest.
CONSWhat I still do no understand why it is not allowed to be done is that sometimes I want to allow to be booked although I have other calendar items scheduled. I should be allowed by calendly to purposefully allow double booking on my calendar, given a set of rules.
Reason for choosing Calendly
it was my only choice.
Reasons for switching to Calendly
because google does not really want to provide you with an easy and powerful way to schedule appointments with their tool. they just want to know what you do at any given point in time.

I receommend Calendly any day of the week.
Calendly has been a staple of the Graphic Design and Logo company for many years and it will be for years to come. It's a friendly atmosphere that's easily manipulated to get what I need from it, and it's just easy and familiar to my clients - Which is awesome.
PROSCalendly is the absolute MOST user friendly scheduling software on the internet. You can set up an appointment scheduler in a very short time, it's very appealing to the eye, and it's super easy to use for the client as well.
CONSHonesly Calendly nails this software and is the leader in their field. I use calendly for my Graphic Design company and I use another software for my consulting firm. The consulting company's software is less user friendly, and more complicated, but it seems to have a ton of customization. Calendly doesn't seem to have this much customization, however, if you're just starting out and need ONE, TWO, or even THREE appointment types, Calendly is perfect.
Reason for choosing Calendly
I needed to differentiate my graphic design calendar app from my consulting calendar app and felt that having two profiles on Acuity would be kind of a nightmare, switching between accounts to do something. Second, I don't need a complicated scheduling application for my Graphic Design business, where I don't charge for meeting my clients. You can certainly add this feature, but I just don't need it. I have a few meeting types and I can send someone a 30 minute, an hour, or a two hour meeting invite. That's IT. It's integrated with Zoom so everything can be safe and remote. Lastly, again, I needed something that I could go to the page and be logged in immediately, instead of switching accounts. Keeping my business applications separate here made a lot of sense.

Great product to save you the time of coordinating schedules with every client individually
I love Calendly. Overall it works well and consistently. It is easy to use for me, my staff, and our clients. I have no major complaints, it does exactly what we need it to do and it does it very well. I highly recommend it.
PROSI love that I can set up many types of events, give them titles that make sense to me, and color-code them. I also love that I can customize the questions clients will answer when scheduling, and customize the reminders they receive. I also love that I can hide events from my main page, so I can target who I send the link to schedule certain kind of appointments.
CONSSometimes when there's a recurring event on my calendar that gets cancelled, my availability in Calendly will still show that time slot as busy. It doesn't happen often, but when it does I have to use a work-around and it takes more time to schedule something into that vacated spot.
Reason for choosing Calendly
I chose Calendly because I tried the free version of Calendly and loved the experience. While reviewing other apps, some were more geared to offering online classes (which is not what my firm needed). Others seemed to be very complicated, so I liked the simplicity of Calendly compared to those other options - Calendly managed to have many features and options but still keep it pretty clean and simple.

Life is too short for back and forth on sync time
I am a huge fan of this software that I have encouraged my entire team to use it daily for internal and external syncs and it is amazing for sales meetings.
PROSI love how easy it is to set up calendly and then just make the link public for my entire team and for external vendors etc and even pre decide the time I want to spend in each of the meetings.
CONSI want to add a feature for someone trying to book a longer time slot to be able to pick two three slots at once.

Calendly rocks
So far, so great!
PROSMost appointment schedule tools offer similar features, but Calendly's prices are much sweeter. Perhaps other software offers more bells and whistles, but I wouldn't know because Calendly does all I need it to do for about 1/3rd the price
CONSI'm not sure yet. I wish I could have all the different type of offerings on one schedule. Right now if I offer appointments at one site they have to be in a separate calendar from another site because I need to make sure I'm physically present at the site and set the calendar up for those dates only.

Saves me easily an hour each week—no more back & forth scheduling
It's a crucial part of my business and saves me hours, all for a totally reasonable monthly fee.
PROSI love being able to set my availability and just send a link. It keeps my calls in manageable blocks, and saves me hours of back and forth trying to find a time. I also think it's much less intimidating for a potential client to book some time via my website, than to have to email me directly about a consult. I use Calendly for all my non-client calls because it gives me control over how far in advance and how far into the future someone can book.
CONSI'd prefer to have more control and functionality around automated emails, but current functionality works fine for confirmations and reminders. You can set a limit on how many of each type of appointment is booked per day, but no overall limit per week/for all events. I like to offer more timeslots as options, but without increasing the number of calls I take per week. Currently I manually block days off in my calendar as I see things fill up, but it would be helpful to have this automated.

Best at what it does
Overall, calendly has become one of the top softwares the team uses weekly. We engage with a lot of creatives and this can be time consuming, something that is really vital as a startup. With Calendly, we can book appointment, get updates from clients and track booking all within the software, with ease.
PROSMy startups a media startup works with tens of creatives per month and getting the booking in place can be an hassle.

Calendly is great if you are looking to be more efficient.
It was a little complicated to get the hang of at first, as a person who was just starting out and not very tech savvy. Even though, I have used other means of scheduling before. Switching over to this was a bit of an adjustment. However, once I was able to explore all of the features and get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing now.
PROSI like its ease of use. The fact that I am able to efficiently run a schedule for myself and my team without much muss or fuss is great. It keeps everyone on time. Any issues that arise are able to be dealt with quickly, so there are not any upsets in booking clients, students, or consultants. And everyone is able to do their job without having to worry about constantly checking their schedule because of the great Confirmations and Reminders features allowed by the software.

Eliminates the headache of scheduling
I've used Calendly for a few years with a few different teams, and several of my colleagues have even adopted it after hearing how much it's helped me.
PROSI utilize Calendly in all of my email correspondence and it is a lifesaver! I frequently get comments of appreciation for how easy it makes it to find time to connect and cuts out the needless back and forth on email. It runs seamlessly in the background and I don't even have to think about it!
CONSI wish there was more functionality in the free version, but upgrading to a premium subscription won't break the bank and is well worth it for the added efficiency.
Reason for choosing Calendly
Both platforms were similar in both features and pricing. I tried Calendly first and didn't see a reason to explore other options because it worked so well!
