| Pricing | Not published (vendor pricing page renders all tiers as "$ 0 / month" client-side; third-party figures range ~$7.20–$13) · free tier: Free plan: 1 calendar connection, 1 booking page, includes Stripe payments, video conferencing, SMS confirmations, embedding and Chrome extension; separate 2-week free trial advertised | $12 per user/month billed yearly (Teams, 14-day free trial) · free tier: Individuals — Free forever: 1 user, unlimited event types and calendars, email & SMS notifications, 100+ app integrations, mobile app, browser extension, Stripe & PayPal payments, two-way Salesforce & HubSpot sync, 1-click Calendly import |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Freemium subscription (per user, annual billing shown) |
| Best for | Solo professionals, coaches, consultants, tutors and small service teams needing a heavily branded, multilingual, international booking page with SMS reminders and Stripe payments, run from a desktop. | Developer-led teams and startups embedding scheduling into their own product via API or React atoms, individuals wanting a genuinely free Calendly replacement, and privacy-conscious organisations that value open-source and self-hosting. |
| Avoid if | You need a non-Stripe payment gateway, a native mobile app, documented HIPAA/BAA or SOC 2 coverage, post-creation editing of bookings, or firm published per-seat costs before you trial. | You need guaranteed fast support without an Enterprise contract, need month-to-month billing at the advertised price, are a small non-technical team that would pay per seat for features bundled free elsewhere, or are HIPAA-covered but unwilling to buy the Organizations tier. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
