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.

Lightening fast (keyboard shortcut-focused) calendar for individuals.
We initially loved the idea of Vimcal, as they are trying to portray themselves as the "Superhuman of calendar"—and we love Superhuman.
The thing is, they missed the mark on what actually makes Superhuman special in our eyes.
Vimcal confuses "productivity" with having keyboard shortcuts for everything (talking every single UI component).
This is at the cost of simplicity, making Vimcal feel quite a bit more overwhelming and over-engineered than it needs to be.
And when you're dealing with the monthly cost, we've found that Motion has a far superior scheduler and calendar (all for a similar monthly price), which even includes a time-blocking task/project management for individuals and teams.
Vimcal does have a nice mobile iOS app, although Cron takes the cake in that area (iOS only for both). Motion on the other hand has both an iOS and Android app.
