Open scheduling infrastructure for everyone.
Cal.com has changed the meaning and expectations when it comes to the scheduler app category as it's the most impressive, flexible, and modern scheduling software on the market.
While Calendly was the leader the the meeting scheduling space for the past decade, over the past few years Cal.com has given them a run for their money, and in our opinion, has has overtaken them.
Cal.com is by far the best meeting scheduler for individuals, SMBs, startups, sales & customer support teams, and even enterprises because they are incredibly flexible. Schedule meetings & appointments (checking multiple team members calendars), set up recurring appointments, take payments with scheduling, and create custom workflows.
Cal.com also has the most robust round robin functionality on the market so that leads can be directed to the right team members each time (automatically). You can also set up workflows to automate any communication pre-and-post calls.
Where meeting schedulers have become more of a feature of a product, like that of Motion, amongst others in the best calendar apps space, Cal has doubled down on that fact by not only making their tool open source core, but by also giving a robust API, allowing you to use their scheduling infrastructure for your own product. This makes it ideal for our more technical friends, enterprises, educational institutions, or even doctors offices.
We can't recommend it enough! Read our full Cal.com Review for our full thoughts.
Conversion-focused meeting scheduler for enterprise sales teams.
Chili Piper has made their mark in the enterprise scheduling and lead routing space.
We were actually using them back in our search to find the best calendar scheduler on the market, and actually replaced Calendly with Chili Piper.
Since we were quite early on in using it though, we didn't realize that they were building every product decision for that of enterprise companies. So never would they integrate with a non-enterprise CRM like Copper, they focused only on Salesforce.
The long and short of it is that if you're looking for a deeply integrated Salesforce meeting scheduler, and terms like "round robin" come up regularly for your team, Chili Piper is probably the solution for you.
If you're instead looking for deeper integration with your CRM and you're using something like Copper or Pipedrive or HubSpot, you might consider Calendly instead. Especially if you're up for using a tool like Outfunnel to deeply integrate it with your CRM.
If you're just looking for the best calendar scheduler on the market, and thinks like speed of scheduling, spinning up a new scheduling link, and priority/focus time blocking are important to you, Motion is definitely the winner in this category.
If you are an enterprise company, using Salesforce, and robust lead routing + your company is sales-heavy, you might consider Chili Piper.
That said, when I was first using Chili Piper, I was really just looking for a low-friction scheduler that was super flexible. It wasn't until finally stumbling upon Motion, that I could finally end the hunt.
If you're a smaller team, or not using an enterprise CRM like Salesforce, we'd highly recommend you taking a look at Motion vs Chili Piper, as Motion is likely to check more boxes, as it also has a baked in tasks right inside of your calendar.
