The industry default.
Calendly works. It's also locked behind tiers — branding on Standard ($12/user/mo annual), smart routing on Teams ($16/user/mo annual or $20 monthly), full email customisation on Enterprise (starts at $15,000/year). And the booking page looks like everyone else's Calendly link.
MintCal: same features, page builder included, $19 flat.
Open source. Genuinely good.
Cal.com's free plan is genuinely generous — unlimited bookings, multiple calendars, workflows. But there's no page builder, no event page widgets, and teams scale at $12/user/month.
MintCal: page builder that converts, per-event customization, $19 flat.
Reliable. Dated.
Acuity (now Squarespace Scheduling) is solid for service businesses — but the design is stuck in 2018, removing "Powered by Acuity" branding requires the Powerhouse plan ($49/mo annual), and there's no real page builder or smart routing.
MintCal: modern design, smart routing on every plan, $19 flat.
Cheap. Limited.
$29 lifetime is a great deal — until you need branded emails, smart routing, modern booking page design, or per-event widgets. TidyCal's a great free-tier alternative, not a Calendly replacement.
MintCal: full feature set, $19/month, 14-day free trial.
Smart scheduling, basic pages.
SavvyCal excels at scheduling optimization — ranked availability, calendar overlay, time blocking. But no page builder, limited email customization, and Stripe-only payments.
MintCal: stunning pages that sell, 10 payment providers, $19 flat.
Solid. Dated.
YouCanBookMe has been reliable for years — fair pricing, good support. But the design feels stuck in 2018, with basic colours and no real page customisation.
MintCal: modern design, page builder, 10 payment providers, $19 flat.
70+ features. Complex pricing.
SimplyBook.me offers tons of features but charges based on booking limits and "feature slots." Want payments AND custom emails? That's 2 slots. Hit your monthly limit? Pay more.
MintCal: everything included, unlimited bookings, $19 flat.
Simple polls. Nothing else.
When2meet does one thing well — free group availability polls. No individual booking, no payments, no branding, no calendar sync, no emails. A poll tool, not a business tool.
MintCal: group polling + your entire booking business, $19/mo.
Already paying for one of these?
Migration tools for Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity, and TidyCal are in active development (one-click import of event types, availability, and upcoming bookings). In the meantime, manual setup takes ~5 minutes via the onboarding wizard.
Email [email protected] and I'll help you switch personally — including transferring your active bookings.
