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.
A calendar for personal/family events and tasks.
Fantastical is a calendar app for MacOS and iOS users that has been around since 2012 (Android users, skip this review and check out Vimcal, Morgen, Sunsama, Akiflow or our favorite: Motion instead).
Through our evaluation of Fantastical, it's not a calendar we'd recommend for professional use or teams as there are far better, more powerful calendars on the market (take Motion for example, who is a calendar with a full-fledged project manager baked in, that uses AI to automatically schedule, and re-schedule your tasks for you).
Even in the personal calendar app category, Fantastical is not a tool we recommend as it feels like quite a dated app compared to some of the newer calendars on the market, like Routine, Morgen, and Amie (check any of these out first before committing to Fantastical).
