Which one is for you
Pick SavvyCal if
- Fits if you want the people booking you to compare calendars before they pick a time
- Works for a small team that needs round-robin or collective links
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free booking link, because you have to upgrade to activate one
- Pricey if you charge for bookings or want a custom domain, as both need Premium at $17 a user a month
- Not for you if you want a calendar as well, since this only does the links
- Not for you if you book from your phone, because there's no mobile app, only the browser and a Chrome extension
- Watch out: the 30-day money-back guarantee is not a free trial, so you pay before your first link works
Pick Timekit if
- Fits if you build booking into your own app and want an API
- Works for teams where each bookable person or room is billed as a resource
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want the API: Professional is $149 a month for 15 resources
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as none is listed
- Watch out: a resource counts once it gets more than one booking in a month, and extras cost $5 to $15
- Watch out: premium response time, integration help and a 99.9% SLA are paid add-ons
- Watch out: only monthly prices are shown

| 2.2GPASavvyCalFair | 1.8GPATimekitWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is $10 a user a month billed annually, $12 monthly, which puts it in the dearer quarter of calendar tools against a $6 middle. You do get unlimited calendars, links and team scheduling for that. Custom domains, assistant access and paid bookings need Premium at $17. | D$49 a month for 3 resources, about $16 each, above the category's $10 dearer quarter. The API, its main selling point, starts at $149. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. You can sign up and look around without a card, and meeting polls are free for good, but a scheduling link only goes live once you upgrade. The 30-day money-back guarantee is a safety net, not a trial. | DA 14-day free trial, but the listing does not say whether it needs a card. No free plan. |
| Features | CCalendar overlay for invitees, collective, round-robin and group links, meeting polls, buffers, frequency limits, workflows, paid bookings through Stripe, a REST API and webhooks.

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.
