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.
The modern way to find a time to meet.
SavvyCal is well-suited for teams that value personalized scheduling and a user-friendly interface, offering thoughtful features like allowing someone scheduling with you to drag times on your calendar instead of clicking available slots.
However, when it comes to workflows and API capabilities, SavvyCal falls short. It’s not as powerful as something like Calendly or our top pick, Cal.com. If your scheduling needs are heavy or complex, SavvyCal won’t be able to meet those demands effectively.
Adding to this, SavvyCal doesn’t offer a free plan—not even for a single scheduling link—leaving us questioning why you’d pay for it when Cal.com offers free scheduling on their individual tier.
