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. Although it has a basic plan, you are only allowed access to one type of event.

We Inyouths LED Mirrors have been using Calendly daily for over two years now, and we've been satisfied with the results. Calendly is an excellent tool for busy professionals who need to stay organized and schedule their time efficiently. It has some great features, including the ability to sync with your calendar, set up reminders, and add notes to your events. However, there are a few drawbacks you should be aware of before using Calendly. First of all, if you aren't careful, it's easy to overbook yourself with Calendly. The tool makes it very convenient to schedule events back-to-back, which can lead to burnout if you're not careful. Secondly, because Calendly integrates with your calendar, it can be difficult to cancel or reschedule events if something occurs at the last minute.

We Garden Centre Shopping started to use Calendly about two years ago. We had been manually scheduling appointments and updating our team calendar and Calendly certainly transformed how we work. We use Calendly more or less every day now, which has not only boosted our productivity, and streamlined our scheduling process, but has also significantly cut our business costs as we no longer need a full-time team member to arrange appointments. It's really simple to use and set up, but if you have issues, their Customer Support team is always ready to help out.

We Easy People Search used Calendly for the last six months on a daily basis. It offers a free version to get you started with the program and familiarize yourself with the settings. It's compatible with Google Calendar and provides various meeting options for booking. For situations where you need to sync your Calendly with an employer's Calendly, there needs to be more depth. Multi-user scheduling appears to be less intuitive than I had hoped.

“One of the favorite appointment scheduling software.”

Overall rating4.5

I at my company - Lekhak have been a Calendly user since 2016 & in the last 5 years, there has never been a need to switch to any other scheduling software. The best aspect of Calendly is the feature to assign specific meeting hours availability for months in advance. I can share the meeting calendar link to a prospective client or a vendor, and they can choose a meeting hour as per their time zones, which is by far the best feature as one doesn't need to check and reconfirm which time zone one is operating in. I use their Pro version, and with it, I can do group meetings as well. It is a secure and reliable platform, easily accessible, and modifiable. Automatic reminders are set out and I can manage or monitor my schedule weeks in advance. You get access to various metrics and reporting tools to track productive hours and meeting dropouts. One con of Calendly would be that it lags sometimes during a live meeting but I guess, it can happen with any software.

“Calendly is the perfect solution for most businesses”

Overall rating4.0

We at Pixelstorm use Calendly for our internal systems and for clients we proposed Acuity or Calendly.

Calendly is easy to setup and low cost. It's such a user friendly interface, works really well with Google Calendar and other calendar systems. The price point is low and allows for many different calendars. Customisation is easy as each calendar can have certain time lengths (ie: 15 mins or 30 minutes) and block out windows of time.

A feature we love is the auto time zone changer. So if you are working with clients on the other side of the globe

Cons are the sophistication when compared to Acuity for things like ecommerce and other clients. For us, it's perfect
