FreeBusy solves the back-and-forth emails, calendar conflicts, and availability sharing involved in booking meetings. It combines work and personal calendars, lets external contacts choose open times without seeing private event details, and creates invitations with meeting links. Recruiters, consultants, sales teams, and client-facing professionals benefit most. Answer based on 55 reviews Overview ### Which roles and teams benefit most from FreeBusy? FreeBusy is most used by independent service providers, recruiters, project and product managers, sales operations teams, and consultants who need to coordinate meetings across busy calendars. Photographers, teachers, and translators use it to offer client booking times, while administrators, business owners, and organizational leaders manage internal availability and reduce scheduling back-and-forth. Answer based on 59 reviews Overview ### What company size and specific industries is FreeBusy built for? FreeBusy is designed for SMBs and enterprise organizations that need automated B2B scheduling for sales and collaboration with customers, suppliers, and subsidiaries. It fits business-to-business teams across industries where recurring meetings, external coordination, and faster scheduling are important, rather than a single sector or niche market. Features and Usability ### What are the key features of FreeBusy? FreeBusy includes calendar sync as its core feature, combining availability across Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and other connected accounts. Its most-discussed scheduling features include shareable booking links, self-service meeting scheduling, protected availability, group scheduling, and calendar-based appointment creation for external clients and teams. Answer based on 42 reviews Integrations ### How well does FreeBusy integrate with calendars? FreeBusy connects multiple work and personal calendars so invitees see open times without viewing private event details. Consultants, recruiters, and teams value Google, Outlook, Apple, and other calendar connections, plus automatic syncing. Reliable results depend on keeping every linked calendar current, and some users report occasional reauthorization or slower performance with many calendars. Answer based on 35 reviews Getting Started and Support ### What training and onboarding options does FreeBusy offer? FreeBusy provides live online sessions, webinars, and documentation to help teams get started. Live online sessions and webinars support guided instruction and scheduled training, while documentation offers written reference material for self-paced learning and for checking setup steps or product details as needed. Getting Started and Support ### What customer support options does FreeBusy offer? FreeBusy provides chat support. Users generally describe the setup as easy and low-maintenance, but some report slow or limited responses when they need help, especially on the free tier. Support interactions can feel inconsistent, which leaves a few questions unresolved after contacting the team. Answer based on 7 reviews Features and Usability ### How easy is it to schedule meetings with FreeBusy? FreeBusy lets clients and candidates book meetings from a shared link, reducing email coordination and supporting cancellations, rescheduling, and appointments created on someone else's behalf. Recruiters, consultants, and distributed teams find basic scheduling easy to set up. Group scheduling and complex multi-person workflows can take longer to learn, and timezone handling may need attention. Answer based on 15 reviews Features and Usability ### How does FreeBusy control calendar availability? FreeBusy gives users control over which open times they share while protecting private calendar details. Teams managing personal and business schedules value linked calendars, blocked time, and protected availability for finding meeting slots. Initial availability settings can feel confusing, information may be hard to locate, and some mobile users want easier on-the-go management.

User Experience, Usability, Strategy and Operations Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great service, customers are wow'd by the functionality" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 2, 2017 Takes a ton of time away from the process of scheduling a meeting. For someone to be able to click a link and pick a time that works for them saves tons of back-and-forth negotiating a meeting time. Pros My favorite feature is I can link all of my calendars and it's able to find time slots for my customers to set meetings--incorporating personal, business, and other calendars. It's easy to use. You can add the ability to use a calendar to block out time so you don't have to access a special interface to do this (a lot of time I'm blocking out time with my phone). It doesn't get in my way at all, which is a huge win because a lot of these types of services cause lots of problems. Once you set it up, you don't need to constantly administer Freebusy. Cons Some confusing interface interactions. When you log in from one of their emailed links to confirm an email, the workflow is a bit confusing to me.

Pros I was first introduced to this through a co-worker, and it has become such a staple of my day to day work life I would not know what to do without it. It's in my signature line and every email I send Cons I wish it would have an API with GoToMeeting since the only downside is having to update the call in information each time I set up a meeting Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros I love that it works with my ownCloud instance, unlike many other services. That was a critical deciding factor. Cons Embedding in an iframe on my website stopped working. While it disrupts the seamless use experience, it's not a showstopper for me. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

No other service (and I've tried many) handles this without very painful workarounds, and this takes it up a notch with easy URL-based calendar switches. Cons Some of the UX is a bit over-complicated, but I understand there are various competing needs and they're trying to thread the needle. My calendaring experience has been largely impeccable, though I have had business partners with issues of occasional double-scheduling (though again not sure where the fault lies).

Pros I can link the information of my G Suite or my Outlook direct to Freebusy, and through the app I can manage all the detail of my calendar and the app specific me when I can set a meeting, the kind of meeting and who is going to meeting with, for that the most importan thing of this app is the possibility be linked to your email account. Cons It the beginning is a little difficult to get used to use it, because you have to manage your calendar with big detail and precision, but once you have, the app helps a lot to manage your time.

Cons You have to have your calendar always updated for the app to work well, because it works managing your time so if your calendar is not set, the app will think that you have a lot of time free when that is not the true.
