Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 1 of the 89 other calendar and scheduling apps we grade
Timekit is a scheduling platform for teams and developers who want booking pages or an embedded booking flow. It finds shared availability across Google and Microsoft calendars and supports one-on-one, group and round-robin bookings. Plans are priced by the number of bookable resources, and the higher tiers add booking and availability APIs.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Timekit, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It is built to be wired in, with widgets and rules to configure.

The report card
Best for developers putting booking flows into their own product
Timekit is a booking and scheduling platform priced by bookable resource, from $49 a month for 3. The Booking and Availability API starts on Professional at $149 a month, the trial's card terms are not stated, and premium support and a 99.9% SLA are paid add-ons.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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 | D | A 14-day free trial, but the listing does not say whether it needs a card. No free plan. |
| Features | C | Appointment types, booking rules, calendar sync, widgets and reports. Essential has no API, which is the product's headline feature. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is built to be wired in, with widgets and rules to configure. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Google and Microsoft calendars and Zapier, plus an API on Professional. |
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.
Who Timekit is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Product teams embedding booking into their own app or marketplace
- Companies that need round-robin or pooled team availability
- Teams where only a few people are bookable but the API matters
Worth knowing
- A resource counts toward the bill once it has received more than one booking in a month; users, rooms and assets can all be resources.
- The Booking and Availability API starts on Professional at $149 a month.
- Premium response time, integration assistance and a 99.9% SLA are paid add-ons.
- Prices shown are monthly; the pricing page we read shows no separate annual rate.

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 Timekit you could make: appointment booking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 85 of the 89 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could make
- Appointment booking and reports: 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 plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Microsoft calendars and Zapier among them, and has an API.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Timekit’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.
