App Store/Google Play Rating: 4/5 (Android), 4.9/5 (iOS)

Best used for: Appointment scheduling | Meetings | Reminders | Sharing | Integrations | Team management

Ideal for: Service providers, consultants, and businesses

When it comes to scheduling meetings and syncing the details to your online calendar, Zoho Bookings is a powerful online appointment scheduling tool to have in your shed.

Although a calendar app helps to schedule meetings, there are some limitations, as the process of scheduling isn't always so straightforward.

To lock in a time, you have to check with your guests and figure out a convenient time. This process can go back and forth, eating away at your day-to-day operations. This is where an appointment scheduling app like Zoho Bookings can spare you that hassle and help you schedule more meetings with your customers.

With Zoho Bookings, your guests can schedule meetings from your pre-set list of available time slots on a publicly shared booking page. The completely editable email notifications help you to customize emails that fit your brand, and you can automate routine communications like reminders and follow-ups about your upcoming meetings, and the details will be synced to your connected calendar app as well.

You can also create a tailored booking page that fits with your website branding. Embed this booking page into your website so your customers can easily book appointments.

What features are unique to a scheduling app?

Additional Zoho Bookings features:

  • Four different types of bookings (one-on-one, group, resource, and collective booking)
  • Two-way calendar sync for booked meetings
  • Automatic time zone conversion
  • API integrations with other apps
  • Booking page link that can be shared and embedded
  • Online video conferencing via Zoho Meetings, MS Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom

Zoho Calendar is a part of Zoho's dynamic ecosystem, helping users manage their day-to-day schedules and meetings. The calendar app is completely free for all users and offers quality features.

Zoho Calendar has a smooth and easy-to-navigate interface. Creating an event, customizing it, changing preferences, and adding additional calendars is simple. The app allows you to choose between different time zones and then add an event to your calendar. You can also create a group calendar and add different team members or family members to the calendar to stay updated about your various schedules. Alternatively, you can set up out-of-office hours to notify your contacts of your absence during a given duration.

You can also sync with other calendars like Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and more. It's easy to share your calendar with others through URL or embed it onto your website for users to access your schedules publicly. The API feature allows you to connect the calendar to other apps as well.

In terms of meetings, you can create an event, add participants to it, and send automated email reminders as the event date approaches. You can choose between audio or video conferencing to meet participants online through the Zoho Meeting integration, which creates a dedicated meeting room for the event. Zoho Calendar also eliminates the hassle of RSVPs. All events that require your RSVP are available in one place, so you'll never forget to provide your response.

While setting up a meeting with your participants, Zoho Calendar lists all available rooms in your location. This makes it easier to choose a room and block it for the time of your meeting. Plus, you can avoid last-minute booking hassles by setting a minimum and maximum booking duration.

Finally, Zoho Calendar promotes effective collaboration by enabling attendees to suggest alternate times for scheduled events. This minimizes back-and-forth messages.

In addition, if you would like to access over 1,000 national and international calendars (holidays, sports, finance, etc.), you can do so with a yearly payment of $2.50. This yearly calendar subscription doesn't require a DigiCal+ subscription.

Lastly, DigiCal comes with a unique built-in location search that will automatically fill in the address for your event as you begin typing it. After integrating with Google Now, DigiCal can keep an eye on traffic and notify you when you should leave to arrive on time.

Timepage

You can create a new event and add your guests to it through their email addresses. The heat map feature displays the frequency of your events across all your calendars. The deeper the color of a particular date, the more events you have scheduled on that date.

In addition, the split screen mode allows you to view the calendar and other apps simultaneously. Timepage also has unique features, such as the This Day in History tab, which highlights the significant historical events that happened on a given day.

With multiple colors options, Siri shortcuts, a seamless sync between your Apple devices, different widgets, and the option to connect to various calendars, Timepage should rank high in your list if you're considering purchasing an online calendar app.

Creating multiple calendars, syncing with other calendars (Outlook Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.), and managing your team's calendar are painless. You can also create an event or task in any time zone, or create a separate start and end time zone for your event.

App Store/Google Play Rating: 4.3/5 (Android), 5.0/5 (iOS)

Best used for: Task management | Organization | Appointment scheduling | Team management | Sharing

Ideal for: Personal use, work and business

Calendar offers two solutions for its users: an online calendar app and a scheduling solution. It syncs with other calendars like Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, and it integrates with Zoom and Zapier to maximize your productivity.

The app's interface is simple and easy to navigate. You can create an event or schedule meetings with your guests, and it's a seamless switch from the calendar app to the scheduling page. While Calendar has all the basic elements of what a calendar app can offer, the scheduling page enables users to create distinct time slots for different meetings. You can also create a workspace for your team members or other businesses you run.

Manage your team through the app by easily scheduling team meetings or events. You can share your calendar with others through a unique URL, so people can browse your available time slots.

Another unique feature of the app is the analytics tab. It gives you an overall picture of the meetings attended, hours spent, and the number of missed and rejected events. A patented rating system has recently been added to its crown to improve your meeting productivity. By rating the meeting, you can get a better idea of how it went compared to what was expected.

TimeTree is a freemium calendar app designed to serve all of your scheduling needs in one place. Its web and mobile interface are simple and facilitate smart scheduling. Create multiple calendars for different areas of your life, like personal, work, family, and friends, and add members to each of your calendars.

It's easy to create an event or add a memo in any of the calendars you have created. Customize the event or memo with colors and labels, and invite guests to collaborate. Guests can add comments and communicate with others through the comment section. You can also invite guests to view your online calendar through a shareable URL.

TimeTree uses an in-app calendar chat to facilitate effective collaboration with your peers. This is especially handy for collecting availability and meeting preferences, allowing you to schedule events without back-and-forth conversations.

During event setup, you can add to-do lists and notes, attach a URL, add a location, and set the event to recur as needed. With API integrations, you can connect with other apps to view and edit calendars, contacts, events, and comments.

With the premium plan, you can get a vertical calendar view, attach files, and rearrange event priority.
