Worth knowing
Cal.com
- The free plan is limited to 1 user; shared team availability and round-robin scheduling need the Teams plan.
- Cal.com announced in April 2026 that its production code was going closed source. The open-source edition is now Cal.diy, without Teams, Organizations, Workflows or SSO.
- Cal.com recommends Cal.diy for personal, non-production use only; self-hosting the commercial product requires an enterprise license from sales.
- SAML SSO, SCIM and sub-teams start on the Organizations plan at $28 per user / month, billed yearly.
SavvyCal
- The pricing page lists only paid plans: you can explore for free, but must upgrade to activate.
- Custom domains, delegating to an assistant and paid bookings are limited to the Premium plan.
- No mobile app is listed; SavvyCal runs in the browser and offers a Chrome extension.
