Worth knowing
Nylas Scheduler
- It is a developer product: the pages read describe components and APIs, not a ready-made booking app for end users.
- Scheduler is included in the Nylas plans above; its price is not listed separately.
- Pro monthly billing has no support or Accelerator add-on; those need Pro Annual, and the Accelerator Package is $2,400 a year.
- iCloud calendars do not offer free/busy lookups.
Timekit
- A resource counts toward the bill once it has received more than one booking in a month; users, rooms and assets can all be resources.
- The Booking and Availability API starts on Professional at $149 a month.
- Premium response time, integration assistance and a 99.9% SLA are paid add-ons.
- Prices shown are monthly; the pricing page we read shows no separate annual rate.

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.
