Our verdict

Second of our top three calendar and scheduling apps

For: Anyone who needs other people to book time with them

Cal.com is built for booking pages. Its free plan gives one user unlimited event types and calendar connections, email and SMS notifications, and Stripe and PayPal payments, where a free Google account stops at one booking page. It runs on the web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and Android. It is second because it handles bookings rather than the calendar itself. Shared team availability and round-robin scheduling need Teams at $12 per user a month, billed yearly, and in April 2026 Cal.com announced that its production code was going closed source.

Good for

Solo users who want unlimited event types without paying
Developers adding scheduling to their own product
Organizations that need SAML SSO, SCIM and compliance attestations

Worth knowing

The free plan is limited to 1 user; shared team availability and round-robin scheduling need the Teams plan.
Cal.com announced in April 2026 that its production code was going closed source. The open-source edition is now Cal.diy, without Teams, Organizations, Workflows or SSO.
Cal.com recommends Cal.diy for personal, non-production use only; self-hosting the commercial product requires an enterprise license from sales.
SAML SSO, SCIM and sub-teams start on the Organizations plan at $28 per user / month, billed yearly.
