November 13, 2024 5.0 Calendly is an intuitive scheduling tool that simplifies booking meetings without the endless back-and-forth emails. It has been a fantastic tool for improving productivity and streamlining my scheduling process. Despite a few limitations, it remains one of the best options for hassle-free scheduling. Pros Ease of use and seamless integrations with popular calendar platforms like Google Calendar and Outlook. Setting availability, sharing links, and allowing invitees to pick time slots that work for them makes scheduling effortless. The customizable booking pages and automatic reminders are also great features for keeping meetings organized. Cons Some advanced features, like setting multiple types of availability or customized reminders, are limited to the paid versions.

Review Source OG Ofertare G. Sales Officer Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "keep control over my week" May 12, 2025 5.0 Pros Calendly has made a lot of stress go away in scheduling meeting times. The opportunity to establish different rules for every call type has helped me keep my schedule in control. Cons Time for invitees’ email notification may be improved.

" May 21, 2025 5.0 It has simplified my scheduling and made interviewing so much easier. It has reduced my stress level significantly Pros I love the flexibility and integration. Can’t beat the price point. It populates to my Google calendar Cons Haven’t found anything yet. Everything has been great. I guess if I had to find something it would that it doesn’t let me get rid of the phone call option Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) It was unreliable and crashed often. People could not schedule Review Source RR Rebecca R. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Makes scheduling so much easier, though not flawless" February 23, 2025 4.0 I can use it to make appointments without sweating with time or money. Oftentimes, it takes longer than I want to get everything done but it is my prerequisite Pros A quite unique feature is the synchronization with several calendars. Not only does it facilitate the scheduling, but it has been also presented the reminders which are a bonus due to some distractions Cons It’s true that at times there isn’t a smooth process of synchronizing with other platforms and they make it tiresome. Review Source SR Stephen R. Affiliate Marketing Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software tool for freelancers or consultants!" November 29, 2024 5.0 This has been a helpful tool to help me schedule meetings with a professional look and feel as I launch my consulting business. Pros I really like the free account with Calendly, I am just getting started consulting and I don't have a large budget for additional software. The Chrome browser is really handy and allows me to share the link quickly and easily. Cons I really enjoy Calendly and can't think of any flaws. Switched from [Google Calendar](https://www.capterra.com/p/213340/Google-Calendar/) Calendly is more professional and the chrome browser extension is also very helpful. Review Source CR Chris R.

Pros It's easy to schedule and reschedule candidates. Also, I like the integration with my Outlook calendar. Cons I have nothing negative to say about Calendly. Switched from [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.capterra.com/p/227138/Microsoft-Outlook/) Because there was more room to make errors, adding the wrong name, etc Review Source IG Ivy G.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Writer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and affordable" January 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Calendly removes the back-and-forth scheduling headaches of setting up one-off meetings with clients. I can set my availability, adjust it as needed to accommodate changes, and sync it with my Google Calendar to stay current as I book other meetings. Cons If I forget to update my availability when my schedule changes, clients who have my Calendly link can book meetings. I'd kind of like it if that link wasn't evergreen but needed to be approved or refreshed quarterly. Review Source AM Andrea M. Fascia Therapist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Calendly for the win" November 14, 2024 5.0 I first came across as a client booking an appointment with my therapist and then I got inspired and set it up for my own business Pros Convenient, professional and easy to navigate for both the business as well as clients Cons I have not found anything yet. Like any software you have to pay if you want to use more advanced features but it’s worth it. Switched from [Weebly](https://www.capterra.com/p/246168/Weebly/) Features and more professional set up. Calendly is way more modern. Review Source SH Susan H. Director of Training Fund-Raising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Calendy has saved alot of staff time" March 12, 2025 5.0 Overall a positive experience using the feature. I wish they would simplify their pricing model. I found it hard to understand what features go with different pricing plans. Pros Calendly has significantly cut down the time it took to schedule meetings. Cons Many of our meetings require at least 2 participants. While you can have it look at more than one calendar for scheduling, which is great. The meeting can only be placed on one person's calendar. We would really like Calendly to put meetings on multiple calendars. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall happy" September 23, 2025 4.0 Pros Integrations with other tools, brand recognition so that people wanting to book calls with me trust the platform/Calendly. Cons Sometimes it doesn't track my actual calendar correctly might be an error, that is the only downside of Calendly. Review Source SF Sarah F. Photographer Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Professional Appointment Set" April 17, 2025 5.0 It is my appointment software.

Head of Marketing Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The go to scheduling software" December 2, 2024 5.0 Calendly is fantastic, it's extremely easy to use for both our internal team and our customers. We've had multiple other services that have never come close to Calendly - all scheduling roads always lead back to calendly. Pros How easy it is to create and manage new events. Cons Automations and email notifications are a little rigid for larger teams. Switched from [Google Calendar](https://www.capterra.com/p/213340/Google-Calendar/) It wasn't necessarily a switch, but we used to book all of our appointments manually. Now, Calendly links into Google Calendars. Review Source Alvonda W. Account Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Calendly Is A Must" December 5, 2024 5.0 I have been using it for 3 years now and I have no complaints with Calendly software directly. It integrates seamlessly with my Google Calendar. Pros The ability to leave questions for my clients on my booking link to help guide my sessions. Cons The occasional disconnection from my Google Calendar. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP of Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My favorite appointment scheduling app" November 27, 2024 5.0 Excellent, it's my favorite scheduling application to use when I need to invite someone external for a meeting. Pros I love how easy it is to use, and how it connects to Google calendar seamlessly. I've used both the free plan and the paid plan. The paid plan allows you to customize your calendar more and gives you more options to set reminders across multiple applications. For anyone looking for simple scheduling, they have the best free plan for that purpose. Cons The pricing should be lower to encourage companies to keep it for longer than they need it for. Review Source LB Lindsey B. National Recruiting Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We love Calendly!" February 25, 2025 5.0 Fantastic tool for very easy scheduling.

February 27, 2025 1.0 It was great, but I lost my login username and password when my computer crashed. Every attempt to obtain this information REQUIRES ME TO OPEN AND PAY FOR A NEW ACCOUNT WITHOUT CREDIT FOR THE FULL-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR. Pros When you get it working properly, it is a powerful planning tool I have used for many years. Cons IF you have any issues, you will spend hours (days) reading unhelpful articles in the FAQs or responding to emails generated by AI ONLY. Review Source TH Tabatha H. Director of Human Resources Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Calendly Has Been Helpful" December 11, 2024 4.0 I like the platform and its been successful in our recruiting efforts Pros I was able to schedule recruiting events successfully using Calendly Cons I would like the option to propose alternate times and communicate that I may need more than 30 minutes if someone is only permitting for 30 minute meetings Switched from [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) I needed to use a platform where I can schedule large events and that integrates with other systems used outside of Microsoft Review Source RL Rachael L.

Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A powerful and professional scheduling tool that saves small business owners time" June 22, 2025 5.0 Good tool, but requires you to be very up to date with own calendars. Sometimes time zone settings caused confusion, but you can learn fast. Pros Automation: syncs with your calendar, sends reminders, and prevents double bookings. Flexible scheduling: different meeting types, buffer times, and team scheduling. Integrations: Connects easily with tools like Zoom, Google Calendar, Outlook Cons Limited features on free plan. Overbooking risk: if your calendar isn’t kept updated, it can still allow inconvenient bookings.
