8 Best Calendly Alternatives in 2026 (+ Bonus, Compared)
Calendly works. But once you add a second team member, a custom domain, or anything that looks like enterprise admin, the cracks show. Round robin alone puts you on the Teams plan, at $16 per user a month billed yearly.
So here's the short version. If you're a team, start with Sprintful: round robin, collective meetings, team booking pages and your own domain come with every plan, from $7.50 per user a month billed yearly. It also works with Claude and ChatGPT on every plan, so you can book or move a meeting just by asking. If it's just you and there's no budget, Cal.com, YouCanBookMe, Doodle, HubSpot and OnceHub all have free plans. Below are all eight, with what each one costs a team and where it falls short. Plus one bonus pick for teams already on Microsoft 365.

Sprintful
Sprintful is for teams that want booking to feel like part of their own business, not a page borrowed from a vendor. Your own domain and design, email from your own sender, and the team controls to run it all. Customers include Fortune 500 companies, banks and academic institutions.
What makes Sprintful a great Calendly alternative?
Most schedulers either charge extra for brand control or don't offer it at all. Sprintful puts it on every plan. Bookings live on your-brand.com, and SSL is taken care of. Every confirmation, reminder and reschedule email is sent from @your-company.com rather than a vendor address. The team side is there from day one too: round robin (flexible, strict or prioritized), collective meetings where a slot shows only when everyone's free, and a team directory where visitors pick who they want. One card pays for everyone.
Top Sprintful features
- Round robin, collective meetings and team directory pages, on every plan.
- Custom domain on every plan, SSL included.
- Branded email sender (notifications from @your-company.com) on every plan. Texts from your own caller ID, plus WhatsApp, on Business.
- Works with Claude and ChatGPT on every plan: add Sprintful as a connector (MCP), then ask the assistant to check your free times, book, move or cancel a meeting.
- AI Agents: a voice agent picks up a web call, finds a time that works and books it.
- Custom CSS from Professional. Custom HTML, Stripe payments and rules that block spam bookings on Business.
- Enterprise security: SSO, 2FA and audit logs.
- Integrations: Google Calendar, Outlook, Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Zapier, and more.
Sprintful cons
- No free plan, just a 7-day trial (no card needed).
- No legacy-calendar integration (CalDAV/WebDAV).
Pricing
Trial: 7-day free trial, no card
Billing: monthly and annual
Basic $9 / user / month, or $90 / year
Professional $19 / user / month, or $190 / year
Business $49 / user / month, or $490 / year
Enterprise: $250 / month for 1-50 users, billed annually

Acuity Scheduling
Acuity Scheduling, a Squarespace company, is made for service businesses where clients book and pay in one flow: salons, clinics, gyms, yoga studios, coaches.
Where Acuity fits
Acuity is about packaged services. Memberships, packages and gift certificates start at Standard, and every plan takes payments through Stripe, Square, PayPal or Venmo. Just know that it's priced per account by the number of calendars, not per user, so your plan depends on how many staff calendars you need.
If you've outgrown Acuity, here's an Acuity alternative comparison.
Top Acuity features
- Sell appointment packages, memberships and gift certificates (Standard and up).
- Payments and deposits via Stripe, Square, PayPal or Venmo.
- Custom client forms.
- HIPAA BAA on Premium.
Acuity cons
- Standard stops at 6 calendars. More staff, or staff in different time zones, means Premium.
- Below Premium, the Acuity logo stays on your booking page. Custom CSS and the API are Premium too.
- No custom domain. Booking links stay on an Acuity address.
- No MCP server of its own for Claude or ChatGPT.
- No free plan.
Pricing
Trial: 7-day free trial, no card
Billing: monthly and annual (annual saves 20%)
Starter $16 / month (1 calendar)
Standard $27 / month (up to 6 calendars)
Premium $55 / month (up to 36 calendars)
Annual prices, per account.
YouCanBookMe
YouCanBookMe keeps things simple: a booking page, calendar sync and Stripe payments, with a free plan to start on.
Where YouCanBookMe fits
The free plan gets you 1 calendar, 1 page and up to 30 bookings a month. Once you pay, the booking cap goes away. Individual gives you 2 calendars and 2 pages, Professional gives you 6 calendars and 10 pages, and round robin waits for the Team plan.
Top YCBM features
- Your own booking form questions, plus confirmation emails and texts.
- Stripe payments, including Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Polls and single-use booking links.
- Booking-page password protection, from Individual.
YCBM cons
- No custom domain. Links stay on youcanbook.me.

- No MCP server of its own for Claude or ChatGPT.
Pricing
Trial: 2-week free trial

Individual $7.20 / month
Professional $10.40 / month
Team $16.20 / user / month ($18 billed monthly)
Annual prices.
Cal.com
Cal.com used to be the open-source Calendly alternative. That changed in April 2026, when it moved its main code to a private repository. The self-hostable version lives on as a separate community project, Cal.diy. The hosted Cal.com is still free for individuals, with unlimited links and calendars.
Where Cal.com fits
If it's just you, the free plan puts no cap on links or calendars. On the Teams plan you add round robin, routing forms and collective links. Organizations adds sub-teams, SAML SSO with SCIM, and a company subdomain (yourcompany.cal.com). What you won't get on any plan is booking pages on your own domain.
Top Cal.com features
- Free plan: unlimited links and calendars, Stripe and PayPal payments, HubSpot and Salesforce sync.
- Round robin, collective and managed links on Teams.
- SAML SSO and SCIM on Organizations; SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001.
- Custom APIs on Teams.
Cal.com cons
- No booking pages on your own domain, even on Organizations (you get a cal.com subdomain).
- Free is for one user. Any team pays.
- Want to self-host? That's Cal.diy now, a different project from the Cal.com product.
Pricing
Trial: 14-day trial on paid tiers
Billing: monthly and annual (annual saves 25%)
Free: $0 / month (1 user)
Teams: $12 / user / month ($16 billed monthly)
Organizations: $28 / user / month ($37 billed monthly)
Enterprise: custom
SavvyCal
SavvyCal is a paid scheduler. You can set everything up for free, but your links don't go live until you pay.
Where SavvyCal fits
Basic already includes unlimited links, polls and calendars, plus round robin and collective modes. Premium is where your own domain comes in, along with emails from your own address, Stripe payments and delegated access for an assistant.
Top SavvyCal features
- Basic already has round robin, collective and group modes.
- It talks to AI assistants over MCP, and there's an API and webhooks too.
- Premium unlocks your own domain and emails from your own address.
- Also on Premium: delegated access for an assistant, and payments through Stripe.
SavvyCal cons
- No free tier for live booking links, just a money-back guarantee.
- Your own domain and logo removal need Premium.
- No SSO on its pricing page.
Pricing
Trial: 30-day money-back guarantee
Billing: monthly and annual
Basic $10 / user / month ($12 billed monthly)
Premium $17 / user / month ($20 billed monthly)
Annual prices.
Doodle
Doodle made its name with group polls. You offer a few times, everyone votes, and you lock the one that works, without a dozen emails.
Where Doodle fits
Next to polls, you get booking pages, 1:1s and sign-up sheets. The Team plan adds an admin console, roles, co-host events, booking on behalf of a colleague, and Stripe payments.
Top Doodle features
- Group polls, plus deadlines and reminders once you pay.
- Sign-up sheets for office hours, parent-teacher slots, that kind of thing.
- Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Webex.
- Admin console and roles on Team.
Doodle cons
- No round robin on its pricing page.
- Branded URLs, branded emails and SSO wait for Enterprise, which starts at $15,000 a year.
- Free gets you a single poll, booking page, 1:1 and sign-up sheet. That's it.
- No MCP server of its own for Claude or ChatGPT.
Pricing
Free: $0
Pro: for one person
Team: $16 / user / month, billed annually ($21 billed monthly), from 2 users
Enterprise: from $15,000 / year
HubSpot Meetings
HubSpot Meetings is the scheduler bundled into HubSpot. If your team already lives in HubSpot CRM, every booking lands on the contact record automatically.
Where HubSpot Meetings fits
Here's the math. If every rep already pays for a HubSpot seat, Meetings costs you nothing extra. If they don't, it adds up fast: the free plan is one personal link with HubSpot branding on it, and a team link (round robin or group) needs a paid seat for every person on it. Ten reps on one link? Ten seats.
Top HubSpot Meetings features
- Meetings are logged on the contact in HubSpot, so nobody copies notes over by hand.
- Round robin and group links, once everyone on them has a paid seat.
- Syncs with Google Calendar and Office 365.
- AI helps with meeting prep and follow-up.
HubSpot Meetings cons
- Every person on a team link needs a paid seat.
- Its pricing page doesn't mention a custom domain.
- SSO is Enterprise-only.
- No MCP server for booking from Claude or ChatGPT.
Pricing
Free: one personal link
Starter: $7 / seat / month billed annually (a limited-time price), $10 billed monthly
OnceHub (formerly ScheduleOnce)
OnceHub (renamed from ScheduleOnce) is built around routing: a form asks a few questions, and the lead goes to the right person.
Where OnceHub fits
Think inbound sales. A prospect fills in a form, and based on the answers (or on who owns the account in your CRM) OnceHub hands them to the right rep. Schedule gets you multi-host meetings and group sessions. Route is where routing forms and round robin kick in, and Engage bolts on web chatbots.
Top OnceHub features
- Routing forms plus round robin, on Route.
- People can book by phone too; paid plans come with phone numbers.
- There's an MCP server for AI assistants, and it's on the free plan.
- The free Basic plan covers 1 user, 1 calendar and 1 link.
OnceHub cons
- Want SSO, or emails sent from your company mailbox? That's the Security add-on, $5 / seat / month on annual billing.
- Its pricing page says nothing about custom domains.
- You won't get round robin below Route ($19 a seat).
Pricing
Trial: 14-day trial
Billing: monthly and annual (annual saves up to 18%)
Basic: free (1 user)
Schedule: $10 / seat / month ($12 billed monthly)
Route: $19 / seat / month ($23 billed monthly)
Engage: $39 / seat / month ($47 billed monthly)
Enterprise: custom (30+ users)
Bonus: Microsoft Bookings
Microsoft Bookings doesn't appear in our comparison table because it's bundled into Microsoft 365 business plans rather than sold as a standalone scheduler. But if you already pay for M365, you already own this.
Where Microsoft Bookings fits
Companies on Microsoft 365 that don't take payments at booking. For them, it costs nothing extra.
Microsoft Bookings cons
- Bundled with M365 only; you can't buy it on its own.
- No payments.
- Pick "Anyone" and it assigns a staff member at random. There's no even spread and no cap per person.
- Everyone works in one business time zone.
- No MCP server of its own for Claude or ChatGPT.
Pricing
Bundled into Microsoft 365 business plans, from Business Basic at $7 / user / month (annual).
Calendly alternatives that work with ChatGPT and Claude
A lot of scheduling now starts in a chat window. You ask Claude or ChatGPT what's open on Thursday, and it books the call. That only works if your scheduler speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol), the standard that lets an AI assistant use an app for you.
Sprintful has it on every plan. Add Sprintful as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT, sign in once, and ask in plain words:
- "What times do I have free next week?"
- "Book a 30-minute demo for dana@example.com on Tuesday at 2 pm."
- "Move my 3 pm to Friday morning."
The assistant works through your booking pages, so the same rules, calendars and notifications apply as when a customer books. Your guest still gets the usual confirmation email. And if you'd rather have the AI do the talking, Sprintful's AI Agents take a voice call on the web, find a free time and book it.
Here's where the other tools stand:
- Acuity, YouCanBookMe, Doodle, HubSpot Meetings and Microsoft Bookings have no MCP server of their own for booking. To book through them from an assistant, you'd need a third-party connector.
- Cal.com, SavvyCal and OnceHub each have their own MCP server. On a free SavvyCal account, people can't book your links until you pick a paid plan.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Calendly alternative?
Yes, if it's just you. Cal.com's free plan puts no cap on links or calendars. YouCanBookMe Free gives you 1 calendar, 1 page and up to 30 bookings a month, and Doodle, HubSpot and OnceHub each let you run one page or link for free. The catch is that none of them include team features for free. Sprintful skips the free plan altogether: you get a 7-day trial, then it's $7.50 per user a month, billed yearly.
What's the best Calendly alternative for teams?
Sprintful. It's built around teams, so round robin, collective meetings, team directory pages, your own domain and branded email are on every plan, from $7.50 per user a month billed yearly. Need SSO and audit logs? That's Enterprise. Calendly, by comparison, wants $16 per user a month (Teams, billed yearly) before you get round robin, and your links stay on calendly.com.
Calendly vs Cal.com: which should I pick?
If it's just you and you don't want to pay, Cal.com gives you more: unlimited links, where Calendly Free stops at one event type. For a team, Cal.com Teams runs $12 per user a month and Calendly Teams $16, both billed yearly, and neither lets you put booking pages on your own domain. One more thing: Cal.com's main code isn't open source anymore. Since April 2026, the open-source code has lived in a separate project called Cal.diy.
Can I use a custom domain with a Calendly alternative?
Yes, though fewer tools offer it than you'd think. Sprintful includes it on every plan. SavvyCal has it on Premium ($17 per user a month, billed yearly), and Doodle saves it for Enterprise. Cal.com Organizations gives you a cal.com subdomain, which isn't the same thing. Acuity, YouCanBookMe and Calendly keep your links on their own domains.
Is Calendly's free plan good enough?
If you're using it for personal things, or you're a one-person shop with no special needs, sure. You get one event type and one calendar. More event types and reminders mean Standard ($10 per user a month, billed yearly), and round robin means Teams ($16).
Which Calendly alternatives work with ChatGPT and Claude?
Sprintful does, on every plan. Add it as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT, then ask the assistant to check your free times, book, move or cancel a meeting. Cal.com, SavvyCal and OnceHub have MCP servers for booking too. Acuity, YouCanBookMe, Doodle, HubSpot Meetings and Microsoft Bookings don't.
Can an AI assistant book meetings for me?
Yes, if your scheduling tool has an MCP server. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is what lets Claude or ChatGPT see your free times and make a booking for you. With Sprintful it's on every plan, and a booking made this way follows the same rules as your booking page. Sprintful also has AI Agents, which take a voice call on the web and book the meeting.
How many calendars can one person connect?
Sprintful lets each person connect up to 12, on any plan. Cal.com and SavvyCal don't cap it at all. OnceHub gives you 1 on the free plan and as many as you want once you pay. YouCanBookMe ranges from 1 (Free) to 10 (Team). Calendly Free? Just 1.
What's the best Calendly alternative for you?
Start with teams, since that's where Calendly gets expensive. For a team of any size, go with Sprintful: round robin, collective meetings, your own domain and branded email are on every plan instead of being held back for Enterprise.
A few cases point elsewhere. Reps who already pay for HubSpot seats get Meetings with them. A company on Microsoft 365 that doesn't charge at booking already owns Bookings. And if clients pay for sessions or packages up front, Sprintful Business (Stripe) and Acuity (every plan) can both take the money.
Flying solo with no budget? Pick one of the free plans from the FAQ.
And if your use is personal, or you work alone and need nothing special, Calendly itself is fine. Don't switch for the sake of it.
