Which one is for you
Pick CalendarHero if
- Fits if you book meetings over chat, email or SMS and want an assistant to set the time
- Works for teams that live in Slack, Zoom and a CRM
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need a price, because the site publishes none
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as none is confirmed
- Too light for phones and desktops: no mobile or desktop apps are listed
- Watch out: the site's copyright line names Vendasta Technologies, so the product now sits under another company
Pick Reclaim.ai if
- Fits if you live in Google Calendar or Outlook and want focus time blocked out for you
- Works for people whose tasks sit in Todoist, Asana or Jira and never reach the calendar
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if your calendar is on iCloud, as it works only with Google Calendar and Outlook
- Tight if you stay on Lite, which plans 1 week ahead with 1 calendar sync and 1 scheduling link
- Pricey if you want unlimited calendar syncs and links, because that's Business at $15 a seat a month
- Not for you if you want a proper phone app, because there's only a web app you add to your home screen
- Watch out: Starter stops at 10 seats, and SSO needs Enterprise with at least 100 seats on annual billing
How we grade them
| 1.8GPACalendarHeroWeak | 2.0GPAReclaim.aiFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, so it sits at the category middle of $6.99. | DStarter is $10 a seat a month billed annually, $12 monthly, against a $6 middle for calendar tools. And Starter still caps you at 3 calendar syncs, 3 scheduling links and an 8-week range: unlimited syncs and links, the 12-week range and webhooks all sit on Business at $15. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on the pages read. | CThe free Lite plan covers one user with focus time, habits and buffer time. But it schedules 1 week ahead, with 1 calendar sync and 1 scheduling link, and tasks stop at Google Tasks. You'll hit all of those in a day. |
| Features | CAutomated scheduling, meeting briefings, team scheduling controls and a meeting directory. Pricing and plan limits are not shown, so what each plan covers is unclear. | CFocus blocks, habits, tasks placed around meetings, times found across attendees and booking links: it does the auto-scheduling job fully. But it's a smaller job than a calendar app's, because Reclaim has no calendar of its own and only works with Google Calendar and Outlook. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Calendars and assistants need connecting before it does anything. | CThere's no store rating on record to go by, and the listing has you connect Google or Outlook and then set focus-time goals and habits before anything gets placed. That's setup, not open-and-go. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Zoom, Google Calendar, Slack, Teams, HubSpot, Salesforce, Greenhouse and Zapier links. No mobile or desktop apps are listed. | BA web app only, with no native iPhone or Android app, though it can be added to a home screen. It does tie into Slack, Zoom, Todoist, Asana, Jira and ClickUp, and Business adds webhooks. |
| Best for | booking meetings by chat, inbox or SMS | having focus time and tasks put on your calendar for you |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
