You get what you pay for.

Why professionals switch to MintCal

Full page builder, not just a link

TidyCal is a booking link with basic settings. MintCal is a complete page builder with 13 widgets, column layouts, testimonials, video, FAQ, and animations.

Branded emails at every touchpoint

TidyCal sends basic notification emails (custom reminders only on paid plan). MintCal gives you 5 branded email touchpoints with your theme, logo, and custom content per event type.

10 payment providers vs 1

TidyCal only supports Stripe. MintCal supports 10 providers including African processors for markets Stripe doesn't serve.

Smart routing and approval workflows

TidyCal has no conditional logic or approval workflows. MintCal lets you screen, route, and approve bookings before they hit your calendar.

Outlook + cross-calendar checking

TidyCal only supports Google Calendar. MintCal connects Google + Outlook and checks both for conflicts when showing available slots.

Actively developed, not abandoned

TidyCal's lifetime deal model means limited incentive for ongoing development. MintCal is subscription-funded with continuous feature shipping — your booking tool gets better every month.
