Top Recommended Replacements
Cal.com
Best Overall FOSS Alternative
Why we like it
Unusually generous free plan includes unlimited event types and multiple calendar syncs; open-source and self-hostable; developer-friendly API.
Keep in mind
The interface can be slightly more technical than Calendly's 'plug-and-play' style; dedicated mobile apps are still in early stages.
Zcal
FREEBest Truly Free Option
Why we like it
100% free for personal use with zero ads; includes unlimited links, multiple calendars, and automated reminders (features Calendly charges for).
Keep in mind
Lacks the massive enterprise integration library (Salesforce, etc.) found in Calendly's top tiers.
TidyCal
Best Value (Lifetime)
Why we like it
Simple $29 lifetime deal; supports multiple calendars and basic paid bookings; perfect for small business owners who hate subscriptions.
Keep in mind
Very limited 'free' tier; basic visual customization compared to Cal.com or Calendly.
HubSpot Meetings
FREEBest for Sales Teams
Why we like it
Free forever as part of HubSpot CRM; automatically creates contact records for new bookings; includes group and round-robin links.
Keep in mind
Best used within the HubSpot ecosystem; the booking page includes prominent HubSpot branding on the free plan.
Zoho Bookings
FREEBest for Small Teams
Why we like it
Generous free tier for individual users; handles one-on-one and group bookings; integrates seamlessly with the Zoho business suite.
Keep in mind
The free version is limited to one staff member; some advanced sync features require a paid upgrade.
Google Appointment Schedule
FREEBest for Google Users
Why we like it
Built directly into Google Calendar; no extra apps to install; prevents double-booking automatically based on your existing schedule.
Keep in mind
Requires a Google Workspace or Google One subscription for advanced features like multiple schedules or payment collection.
Picktime
FREEBest for Service Businesses
Why we like it
Free plan supports up to 3 team members and unlimited bookings; includes automated email reminders and a mini-website for your business.
Keep in mind
Lacks the sophisticated 'Round Robin' logic found in Calendly or HubSpot's paid plans.
Doodle (Booking Page)
FREEBest for Group Polling
Why we like it
The gold standard for finding a common time among large groups; their 'Booking Page' feature is a solid 1-on-1 alternative to Calendly.
Keep in mind
The free version is ad-supported; booking page branding is not customizable without a Pro plan.
SimplyMeet.me
FREEBest for Freelancers
Why we like it
Highly customizable; supports unlimited bookings and 500+ integrations (via Zapier) on the free tier; includes a dedicated mobile app.
Keep in mind
Lacks the name recognition of Calendly, which may impact trust with some clients.
YouCanBookMe (Free)
FREEBest for Education/Coaches
Why we like it
Very simple, clean booking interface; includes basic password protection for links; long-standing reputation for reliability.
Keep in mind
Free version only allows for one event type and one calendar connection (identical to Calendly's limits).
Appointlet
FREEBest for High Volume
Why we like it
Unlimited bookings and meeting types on the free plan; excellent Slack and Zoom integrations; very easy to embed on websites.
Keep in mind
Automated email reminders and custom branding are reserved for the premium tier.
WP Timetics
FREEBest for WordPress Users
Why we like it
A dedicated WordPress plugin that offers full 'Pro' features for free; unlimited team members and appointments; keeps all data on your own server.
Keep in mind
Only works if you have a WordPress-powered website; requires manual plugin management.
