Lunacal vs TidyCal

Lunacal

• Coaches, consultants and tutors who charge for sessions at booking
• Service businesses that want videos, testimonials and FAQs on the booking page
• Teams routing bookings across staff, services or locations

TidyCal

• Solo coaches, consultants and tutors who would rather pay once than monthly
• Selling paid sessions, packages and subscriptions from a booking page
• Small teams that want round robin on a flat-priced plan

Lunacal

• There is no free plan: all three plans are paid once the 7-day trial ends.
• Multi-session packages, team scheduling, round robin and webhooks need the Teams plan or higher.
• SSO and email from your own domain are Enterprise only, and a custom domain for booking pages is an Enterprise add-on.
• Text message reminders are billed per message segment at rates that vary by destination country.

TidyCal

• The Free plan connects 1 calendar and cannot auto-create Zoom, Google Meet or Teams links; those need a paid plan.
• Free and lifetime plans pay TidyCal a 1% platform fee on Stripe payments, on top of Stripe's own fees. Only Pro has none.
• Lifetime plans are bought through AppSumo, and Agency Lifetime licenses bought from September 1, 2026 are capped at 4 team seats.
• There is no iOS or Android app; TidyCal runs in a browser. The Pro subscription has no free trial.
