Cronofy vs OnceHub (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Cronofy if

• Fits if you are a recruiting team on Greenhouse or Lever
• Works for a product team adding scheduling through an API

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you are an individual, as the pages show no individual plan
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as only a trial of unstated length exists
• Pricey if you want the Scheduler API, with Business at $799 a month for 50 seats
• Watch out: API (OEM) plans start at $819 a month
• Watch out: Meeting Agents are billed per hour, with a $99 monthly minimum alone

Pick OnceHub if

• Fits if your sales or service team qualifies leads before anyone gets a slot
• Works for advisors, coaches and clinics whose clients book by phone as well as online

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you only want round robin, which starts on Route at $19 a seat a month billed annually
• Tight if you're staying free and need a second calendar or a second booking link
• Pricey if you want chatbots, which need Engage at $39 a seat, or SSO and HIPAA, a $5-a-seat add-on on top
• Watch out: text notifications need SMS credits, plans include only 1 to 3 phone numbers, and extras are $4 a month
• Not for you if you want a phone app, as it's web and a browser extension only
