SavvyCal vs YouCanBookMe

SavvyCal

• People who want invitees to compare calendars before picking a time

• Group scheduling with free meeting polls

YouCanBookMe

• Solo professionals and small businesses that want a branded booking page
• Taking payment through Stripe at the moment of booking

SavvyCal

• The pricing page lists only paid plans: you can explore for free, but must upgrade to activate.
• Custom domains, delegating to an assistant and paid bookings are limited to the Premium plan.
• No mobile app is listed; SavvyCal runs in the browser and offers a Chrome extension.

YouCanBookMe

• The Free plan allows 1 calendar connection and 1 booking page, and its pages and emails carry a 'Powered for free' button.
• There is no mobile app; YouCanBookMe says its pages are mobile responsive and bookings are managed from a browser, calendar or email.
• Automated workflows, analytics, promotion codes and the HubSpot and Zapier integrations start on Professional; round robin and API access need Team.
• The lowest listed prices require paying for 2 years up front, and UK customers have 20% VAT added.

SavvyCal

Calendar overlay for invitees

People booking with you can overlay their own calendar on your scheduling link, so both schedules appear together in a week view.

Team scheduling modes

Collective, round-robin and group links are available for teams, and both plans list team scheduling with unlimited links and calendars.

Meeting polls

Propose several time slots, let a group vote in their own time zones, then book the winning option. Polls are free and need no credit card.

Availability controls

Buffers, frequency limits, time blocking and preferred slots shape when meetings can be booked.

Workflows and paid bookings

Workflows send timed messages around a meeting, and Premium links can charge for a booking through Stripe.

API, webhooks and embeds

A REST API with OAuth, webhooks and a JavaScript embed allow scheduling links to be built into other sites and tools.

YouCanBookMe

Customizable booking pages

Every plan takes your logo and text; paid plans add a brand color, background image and footer. Pages can be embedded on a website or shared as a link or QR code, and support over 40 languages.

Appointment types and availability

Offer appointment types with their own durations, prices and locations, and control availability with buffers, minimum and maximum notice periods and a daily meeting limit.

Payments at booking

The Stripe integration takes credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay before a booking is confirmed. Promotion codes are available from the Professional plan.

Notifications and workflows

Email and SMS confirmations, reminders and follow-ups can be customized. Professional adds automated workflows with no-show management. SMS carries an extra charge.

Team scheduling

The Team plan lists several team members on one page, distributes meetings by round robin, and manages members, roles and billing from one dashboard.

Meeting polls and Chrome extension

Polls let a group vote on times before a meeting is fixed, and the Chrome extension shares preferred times from the browser. Both are listed on the Free plan.
