What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

Both are priced per team or per application, not per casual user.

The report card
Best for scheduling for recruiting teams and developers
Cronofy sells scheduling and calendar APIs to organizations, with a Team plan at $15 per assigned seat a month. There is no free plan, Business starts at $799 a month, and the pages show no plan for individuals.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $15 per assigned seat a month on Team, just under the $16 where the dearer quarter starts. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free trial on Team, but its length is not stated and there is no free plan. |
| Features | C | Booking pages, multi-person scheduling, extensions, recruiting integrations and APIs. The Scheduler API starts at Business. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is built for organizations and developers to wire up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and browser extensions, with Lever, Zoom, Zendesk, HubSpot, Okta, Greenhouse and an API. No apps are listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
