The 10 best Calendly alternatives, compared honestly.

The short answer
BookTime is the best Calendly alternative for professionals who run multiple calendars, because it unifies Google, Apple, and Outlook into one conflict-aware view and puts a booking page on top of it. Cal.com is best if you want open source, Acuity if you sell packages and take payments, Morgen if you want a calendar-and-tasks command centre, and Calendly itself is still best for sales teams routing inbound leads.
Nine of these ten tools do the same core job well. The question is not which one books meetings — it is which one is built for the way you run your week.

Calendly alternatives, ranked by who they are for.
Best for multiple calendars
BookTime unites your Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars into one view, so you never get silently double-booked across the accounts you actually run — then hands clients a clean booking page on top. Most tools on this list connect to several calendars; BookTime is built around the idea that you should be able to see them all at once, in one place, and have your availability computed from all of them.
Best open-source option
Cal.com is the open-source challenger — self-hostable and API-first. If you have the technical chops you can run it on your own infrastructure with full data residency, or use the hosted plan and white-label everything. The free individual plan is unusually generous: one user, unlimited event types, unlimited connected calendars, and over a hundred app integrations.
Best for service businesses
Acuity (owned by Squarespace) goes well beyond a booking link into full appointment management — gift certificates, memberships, payment plans, and detailed client intake. It syncs both ways with Google, iCloud, Office 365, Exchange, and Outlook.com, which is broader calendar coverage than most of this list. For a business already on Squarespace it is effectively part of the stack.
Best for retail and in-person
Square Appointments ties booking directly to Square’s point-of-sale and payments stack. If you take payments in person and already use Square, scheduling sits inside the same system you ring up sales with — and the free tier is genuinely usable, with unlimited staff calendars and appointment reminders.
Best for customisable booking pages
YouCanBookMe is the tool for people who want the booking page to look like theirs — colours, logo, copy, custom domains, and unusually deep control over the confirmation and reminder emails. It also connects to more calendar types than most: Google, Microsoft 365, Apple iCloud, Fastmail, and generic CalDAV.
Best calendar and productivity hybrid
Morgen is the other tool on this list that genuinely merges your calendars rather than merely connecting to them. It layers tasks, time-blocking, and an AI planning assistant on top, and adds booking pages and scheduling links. If you want a single desktop app that runs your whole day, Morgen is the strongest option here.
Best for Microsoft 365 companies
If your company already pays for Microsoft 365, Bookings is sitting in your subscription at no extra cost. It is included with Business Basic, Standard, Premium, and most enterprise plans, it lives inside Outlook and Teams, and IT does not have to approve a new vendor. That last point wins more internal arguments than any feature.
Best for Google Workspace users
Google’s appointment schedules are built into Google Calendar itself. Any Google account can create a booking page and have it check availability against that account’s calendars, at no cost. Creating more than one schedule, taking payments, verifying emails against spam bookings, putting schedules on secondary calendars, and adding co-hosts all require an eligible Google One or Workspace plan.
Best booking experience
SavvyCal’s insight is that a booking link is slightly rude: it makes the other person work around your calendar. So SavvyCal lets the recipient overlay their own calendar on your availability, and lets you propose specific times inside the link. It is the most considerate scheduling experience on this list, and it connects Google, Microsoft, and iCloud calendars.
Still best for sales teams
Calendly earned its reputation for a reason — it is the most polished single booking link on the market. Where it shines is team distribution: round-robin routing, lead-qualification forms, and native CRM integrations make it strong when scheduling is a conversion event for a sales team. If that is your job, Calendly is still the right answer.

Calendly alternatives, answered.
BookTime is the best Calendly alternative for professionals who run multiple calendars, because it unifies Google, Apple, and Outlook into one conflict-aware view and adds clean booking pages. Cal.com is the best open-source option, Acuity is best for service businesses that take payments, Morgen is the best calendar-and-tasks hybrid, and Calendly itself is still best for sales teams routing inbound leads.
Not for new users. Calendly stopped accepting new iCloud calendar connections on 20 August 2024; accounts that connected iCloud before that date still work. If you need Apple Calendar support today, BookTime, Cal.com, Acuity, YouCanBookMe, Morgen, and SavvyCal all connect to iCloud.
Cal.com has the most generous free plan — one user with unlimited event types and unlimited connected calendars, plus a fully free self-hosted open-source version. Google Appointment Scheduling gives any Google account one booking page for free, YouCanBookMe’s free plan covers one calendar and one booking page, Square Appointments is free per location, and BookTime is free during its beta.
Cal.com. It is self-hostable and API-first, which lets developers run scheduling on their own infrastructure with full data control or embed it directly into their own product. The open-source version can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure at no licence cost.
Two tools on this list genuinely merge calendars rather than just connecting to them: BookTime and Morgen. BookTime is built around the unified view and costs $8/month flat; Morgen adds tasks and time-blocking on top and costs $15/month billed annually. Everything else — including Calendly — connects to several calendars to calculate availability but still shows you one calendar at a time.
Free options first: Cal.com, Google Appointment Scheduling, Square Appointments, and YouCanBookMe all have real free tiers, and BookTime is free during beta. Among paid plans, YouCanBookMe Individual is $8.10/month billed annually and BookTime is $8/month flat — both cheaper than Calendly’s $8.30/seat annual Standard tier, and neither charges per seat the way Calendly does.
BookTime and Morgen both merge Outlook and Google — and Apple — into a single conflict-aware view. Cal.com, Acuity, YouCanBookMe, and SavvyCal all connect to both but keep them separate. Microsoft Bookings is Outlook-only and Google Appointment Scheduling is Google-only, so neither can see a conflict that lives in the other ecosystem.
Sales teams. Round-robin distribution, lead-routing forms, and native HubSpot and Salesforce integrations make Calendly strong when scheduling is a team conversion event rather than personal multi-calendar management. Note that round-robin sits on the Teams plan at $16/seat/month, or $12.80 billed annually.
More hustle. Less hassle.
If you run your week across more than one calendar, BookTime is the alternative built for you. Unite every calendar, kill the double-bookings, and send booking pages clients love.
