Calendly is praised by users as an easy-to-use, cost-effective scheduling tool suitable for small businesses and busy professionals.

My company FindPeopleFaster uses Calendly for all things scheduling. My company has been using Calendly every day for over 6 months. By far, calendly has the most extensive set of integration. This means it can be adapted and used with other tools. Calendly also allows customizing the forms guests go through and tailoring them to different cases as required. It also provides a reminder that ensures you are always aware of what comes next. Because of the many features and options, it can get really complex and overwhelming. Although it has a basic plan, you are only allowed access to one type of event.

“The software has streamlined our appointment scheduling and has helped us better serve our clients”

At REACHRIGHT, we use Calendly for appointment scheduling, and it has changed the way we work for the better, but there are a couple of ways it could be improved. We've been using Calendly daily for the past three years. It's streamlined our appointment scheduling and has helped us better serve our clients. The main pros of Calendly include its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with popular calendars like Google and Outlook, and the ability to customize meeting types and availability. The cons include occasional glitches, limited customization of the booking page, and the lack of advanced features such as appointment buffers and complex scheduling rules for larger teams. Overall, Calendly is a solid choice for appointment scheduling, but it may not be perfect for everyone.

We Clockwork Copy use Calendly. For basic appointment scheduling and management, it gets the job done at $10 monthly. I really like how it is easily integrated with my Google Calendar and Google Meet. I've been satisfied with it over the 9 months that I've been using it and find it to be a good value.

We Thehobbykraze have been using Calendly, a scheduling software, for some time. The biggest pro of Calendly is its ease of use and flexibility in scheduling meetings. With just a few clicks, a scheduling link is generated and shared with invitees, who can then choose a time that suits them best. It also integrates with other tools like Zoom, Google Calendar, and Outlook, making scheduling even more seamless. However, one potential con is that it may not be suitable for very complex scheduling needs or larger teams. Overall, we have found Calendly to be a reliable and efficient tool for our scheduling needs.

We Edwize have been using Calendly for a while now. It is one visually guided automation software. You can set up this software and begin scheduling meetings instantly. It simply creates a scheduling link and sends it to the person you want to meet with. Your invitee can then pick the time that’s convenient for them. This is all that you have to do while scheduling using this software rest of the work is done by the automation of this tool. The links can be shared through email and directly through sms too. This software comes as an extension and is even available on IOS and android devices.

We Happy SEO Clients as a small business owner since 2004, have used Calendly as my scheduling software for the past few years three years; it is used daily in our company, and I am happy to provide feedback. The pros of using Calendy are that it is user-friendly, has great features and functionality, and provides excellent customer support. The cons include needing more integrations and a lengthy onboarding process.

We Tutor Cruncher use Calendly as our company's scheduling software. With years of experience serving the needs of entrepreneurs all over the world, Calendly has established itself as the industry standard for scheduling apps. Even the free plan has a ton of useful extras, like a web portal and mobile apps for iOS and Android. In addition, you can set up as many one-on-one meetings as you like. Notification of events happens automatically; however, text alerts are a premium feature. You can choose your preferred meeting host from among Google Meet, GoToMeeting, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Zoom, thanks to Calendly's integration with these services. For more efficient processes, I can connect Calendly to Slack and Intercom.

We Nolah Mattress use Calendly on weekly basis for the past two years. As an eCommerce business, we really just needed something very simple. The major pro is that Calendly integrates with a robust list of other software solutions, which allowed us to seamlessly include it alongside our existing tools - most importantly, our calendars. The only real place where we find Calendly slightly lacking is in customer support, for which the only channel is online/email support, which can make it difficult to get timely help.

We BSCI inc. use Calendy for scheduling software. Calendy is the best scheduling software because it has a professional and polished design that makes customers feel at ease. It also comes with a lot of great features that make booking appointments fun and easy, such as automatically emailing clients and custom design templates. But that's not all! Calendy also comes with a free mobile app that gives you even more ways to connect with clients. At Bombing Science, we’ve been using Calendy for over 2 years daily. We started with the free version and upgraded to the paid version when we saw the value it brought to our business. We use the scheduling software for the majority of our meetings. At this point the pros and cons of Calendy are pretty balanced. The biggest pro is that you can create a calendar for your business or social life and you can automate it with your email. This way, each of your events gets sent out as a reminder.
