- Watch out: Meeting Agents are billed per hour, with a $99 monthly minimum alone

Keep Cronofy, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Cronofy you could make: appointment booking and calendar. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 93 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $180 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Lever, Zoom and Zendesk among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Cronofy’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Cronofy?
Cronofy sells scheduling in two forms. A direct license gives a team booking pages, multi-person availability and browser extensions, and an OEM license gives software developers calendar sync, availability and scheduling APIs to build into their own products. Both are priced per team or per application, not per casual user.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan; Business and Enterprise are sold through sales conversations.
- The OEM (API) plans are priced separately: Emerging is $819 a month billed annually for up to 500 synced accounts, Growth is $2,399 a month.
- Meeting Agents are billed per hour used ($0.79 per hour at 25 to 4,000 hours) with a $99 monthly minimum for standalone use.
- The pricing pages are aimed at organizations; they show no individual plan.
