13 best Calendly alternatives for 2025

Calendly appears to have it all. Almost everyone knows about it, and many have tried it for themselves. At the same time, it can't be a perfect fit for everyone, and it's good to be aware of the Calendly alternatives that are available.

The best Calendly alternatives

13 best Calendly alternatives

Based on our in-house knowledge, other Calendly alternative lists, and what we hear from customers, we've complied the following list. Each app has its own capabilities and audience, so one that works for some businesses may not work as well for others. Let's dive into the Calendly alternatives to narrow down which might be best for you.

Best Calendly alternatives for business consultations

01

Zoho Bookings

Zoho Bookings is a popular Calendly alternative, with the best free plan on the market and affordable paid plans starting at $6 a month. You can do one-on-one, group, and collective bookings in Zoho Bookings. It's ideal for individuals and teams looking to avoid back and forth emailing and teams looking to allocate appointments evenly. There are multiple options for online meeting tools and payment gateways.

The key advantages are in personalization and pricing. The booking pages, emails, and domain are highly customizable. There's also the inherent benefit that it's part of the Zoho suite of apps, which means you can integrate Zoho Bookings with multiple business apps. APIs and custom functions make it easy to build custom solutions to scheduling problems. It's also one of the few options that has an app for both Android and iOS.

See how Zoho Bookings compares with Calendly
Zoho Bookings
02

Microsoft Bookings

Microsoft Bookings is a good Calendly alternative if you already have a Microsoft 365 subscription, as you can't buy it separately. You can hold one-on-one and group meetings and use Teams for online meetings. By managing the visibility of the booking page and disabling its indexing, you can also use Microsoft Bookings effectively within the organization.

One of the shortcomings of the product is the lack of online payment integrations. It also doesn't have integrations with CRM or accounting tools. Microsoft Bookings is ideal for small businesses in the service industry who run their business predominantly on Microsoft 365 apps.

Microsoft Bookings
03

Setmore

The best thing about Setmore is its mobile app. It's modern, which is a stark contrast from the mobile apps of popular appointment schedulers. Setmore's UI is free of distractions. It's easy to navigate the interface, find features, and train yourself.

Setmore’s free plan is rich with integrations, including Square payments. It also integrates with Slack, Instagram, Facebook, and most website builders.

Where Setmore falls short is feature depth. Though the features are good for business consultations, sales teams, and service businesses, they aren't made exclusively for any of them. If you have Setmore on your list of possibilities, check out Zoho Bookings as well.

Setmore
04

HubSpot Meeting Scheduler

HubSpot's free meeting scheduler is simple and useful for common scheduling needs. It's available through HubSpot's Sales Hub, meaning it cannot be purchased without a HubSpot account.

The teams you create teams in Sales Hub are reflected in the meeting tool, and the tool pulls data from other HubSpot apps to help you set up meetings. You can include fields from your contact module on the scheduling form, which makes it easy for you to gather data. If you're leading a sales team, you can use the round-robin algorithm to automatically allocate appointments across the team.

This solution doesn't integrate with third-party tools except for Google and Microsoft apps. Calendly and Zoho Bookings, on the other hand, are independent tools and are better options if you're not planning to use HubSpot for other needs.

HubSpot Meeting Scheduler
05

YouCanBookMe

YouCanBookMe (YCBM) is a simple tool for scheduling meetings and appointments. It's a popular tool among universities and businesses in the education sector. You can use YCBM individually or with your team. Though the tool is simple, it depends on external calendars to set up availability. This makes it harder to operate compared to tools like Calendly or Zoho Bookings, which have built-in calendars.

YouCanBookMe costs $10 a month per linked calendar, but they offer special discounts for the education market.

Doodle

Doodle is one of the earliest and most popular online meeting schedulers on the market.

Doodle has polls, surveys, and bookable calendars. Its polls are useful when you're trying to find the best time to meet with a group, and the surveys are helpful when you want to gather a number of opinions at once. The bookable calendar enables you to share your availability with others and let them book a time with you.

Doodle offers SSO, a mobile app for Android and iOS, a dedicated success manager, 99.9% uptime SLA, training, and priority support. Doodle works best when most of your meetings are internal.

07

Acuity Scheduling

Acuity focuses on small businesses in the service industry. This tool offers features that help businesses handle complex availabilities like recurring and uneven schedules, and generate more revenue via features like gift certificates, memberships, and coupons. It also offers a credit card vault, which is important for businesses taking paid appointments. Acuity is rich in features that cover any scheduling use case.

On the other hand, Acuity's slab-based pricing plans are not encouraging if you're a soloprenueur or only have a few employees. Such customers should consider the per-user billing plans through Calendly or Zoho Bookings.

Acuity Scheduling
08

Sign In Scheduling

Sign In Scheduling (formerly 10to8) is a well-rounded appointment scheduling app for service-based businesses. The app has many features and a clean UI, and it is especially fitting for businesses that visit customers to perform a service.

While Sign In Scheduling is similar to Acuity in terms of its target audience, it doesn't have as many features geared towards sales teams or recruitment teams.

09

Chili Piper

While Calendly allows customers to book a meeting before adding them to the CRM, Chili Piper adds leads to the CRM first and then sends them through the scheduling workflow. In other words, Calendly follows a schedule-first, sales-second approach, whereas Chili Piper follows a sales-first, scheduling-second approach.

Chili Piper's features allow you to schedule meetings from your email, calendar, chat, and CRM. Because the app always captures the lead in the CRM first, the booking forms are prefilled; this makes most meetings a one-click experience for clients. Chili Piper also has routing rules to make sure that leads are assigned based on a team member's availability, experience, and other custom rules. In short, their aim is to connect a salesperson to customer as fast as possible.

OnceHub

OnceHub (formerly ScheduleOnce) was one of the first apps to focus on sales teams and their scheduling needs. They have all the essential features of an appointment scheduling app.

OnceHub emphasizes compliance, security, customization, and control more than any other app that we reviewed. However, as a sales scheduling tool, OnceHub is a bit behind Calendly and Chili Piper in terms of integrations, routing algorithms, sales-focused reporting, plug-ins, and AI features that reduce administrative work.

The user interface is clean and offers clear help documentation. Keep in mind that OnceHub can be a little complex if you don't enjoy fine-grained control, flexibility, and a user interface crowded with help text.

OnceHub
11

Drift

While Drift is not primarily a scheduling solution, it offers a meeting scheduler and has several tools for sales teams. The main tool is a chatbot for your website that enables you to hold live conversations with visitors. The bot takes care of the conversations when your team isn't online. Drift extends this bot's functionality with emails, audience insights, and sales team routing. It also provides available site visitor information from your CRM, so you can have more personalized conversations.

Salesloft and Outreach

These sales engagement platforms automate email and calls, personalize messaging, and provide real-time analytics. They also automatically update CRMs and other software in your sales tech stack, improving overall productivity. Sales managers can keep tabs on their team's performance with the dashboards. SDRs and BDRs will be able to start their day with their tasks already lined up.

The strength of both platforms is in the sales cadences. Sales cadences maintain uniformity and predictability for experienced sales team members while also reducing the ramp-up time for newbies. The platforms also help sales teams manage their email sequences without waiting for the marketing teams.

Many sales teams began using Calendly before these two sales engagement platforms hit the market. Maybe it is time for them to look beyond Calendly.

So, which is the best Calendly alternative?

All of the apps above offer appointment scheduling solutions, but each serves a specific type of user, business, or approach. While Chili Piper, Salesloft, and Outreach are competing with Calendly to offer more features for large sales teams, the best Calendly alternatives are those that do what Calendly does best: consultations. In this case, Zoho Bookings, Microsoft Bookings, Setmore, and HubSpot's Meetings tool are strong options.

Among those four solutions, only Zoho Bookings and Setmore are standalone apps. The other two are part of a larger product suite, which means you have to buy HubSpot CRM or a Microsoft 365 subscription to gain access

For 2025, the best Calendly alternatives are Zoho Bookings and Setmore.
