How we grade them
| 3.6GPACalendlyExcellent | 3.0GPASkejVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BStandard is $10 a seat a month billed yearly, the same starting price as SavvyCal and Reclaim, where Cal.com asks $12. Round-robin and Salesforce sync need Teams at $16, and Notetaker needs a Plus plan, with Teams Plus at $24. | BPro is $15 a user a month billed annually, $19 monthly, for the email assistant and unlimited booking links. More than a plain booking tool, but fair next to the other AI assistants we list as its alternatives. Each team member is billed separately. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree forever, with unlimited meetings. But it's one event type, one calendar connection and one-on-one meetings only. Enough for a single booking link. New users get two weeks of Teams Plus first, then drop to Free. | BFree Forever keeps 1 booking link that checks 1 calendar, plus a daily agenda and event reminders. The email assistant, the reason you came, is only a 7-day trial with 3 free meetings. No credit card needed for that, at least. |
| Features | ABooking pages, group and round-robin events, lead routing, automated reminders, and Stripe or PayPal payments at booking. Notetaker records and recaps Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls. There's a REST API with webhooks too. | BThe assistant schedules, reschedules, cancels and follows up by email, and the booking link can chat with whoever's booking. From Pro it works by text, WhatsApp and Slack. But Microsoft Teams messaging is still marked coming soon, and custom assistants need Premium. |
| Ease of use | A4.8 from about 55,000 App Store ratings. Set up an event type, share the link, and the invitee picks a time. They don't need an account or a seat to book. | BThere's nothing to learn: CC the assistant on a thread and carry on with your day. There's no rating on record to show how people get on with it, so it stops at a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, iPhone and Android, extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari, and add-ins for Outlook, Gmail and LinkedIn. It syncs with Salesforce and HubSpot and has a REST API. | BIt works through email, text, WhatsApp and Slack, with a web dashboard behind it. It connects to Google and Microsoft calendars, Gmail, Zoom, Google Meet and Teams video. No mobile or desktop apps are listed. |
| Best for | booking links for meetings with outsiders | CC'ing an AI assistant to book your meetings |
