A simple calendar scheduling tool with a solid API for teams of all sizes.
Calendly is a good scheduling tool especially for non-technical users. The best thing it has going for it is native integrations and connections with tools like Outfunnel.
There has been many more modern solutions in the market, even with Google Calendar recently adding a free basic scheduler tool.
If you're looking for the most robust and modern scheduler on the market though, you'd be better off with Motion which also brings with it additional task time blocking tools and priority scheduling.
While we don't recommend other schedulers like Vimcal, if you were to pay for a scheduling tool, we'd recommend even that over Calendly. Unless you're looking for some out-of-the-box integrations and a solid API. In that case, Calendly shines.
Another area where you might want to use Calendly is if you want to require payment before allowing to schedule. More niche features like that exist with Calendly over others.
We personally use and love Motion for all our scheduling needs, and you can read more reasons as to why here.

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.
