Pour une gestion de prise de rendez-vous, sous Outlook ou Google Agenda, il est amplement suffisant. Cons Pour un usage avancé, la présence d'une API publique ou de webhook publiant les évènements auraient été un plus Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros Très ergonomique, très facile à utiliser. Une version gratuite vraiment performante qui permet de monter en puissance dans son utilisation et son besoin avant de basculer, le moment venu, sur une version payante adaptée. Cons Je n'ai pas réussi à l'intégrer à mon calendrier Titan liée à wordpress. Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Version gratuite trop limitée, je voulais un peu plus de fonctionnalités avant de basculer sur une version payante Reasons for choosing zcal Le meilleur rapport qualité-prix à mes yeux Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Cons It can be a a little tedious when creating a new Zcal link for ongoing weekly scheduling. I wish there was an easier way to do that. Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Zcal was easier to use for me and I like that it sends the calendar invites.

Founder Information Technology and Services ### "Alternative free calendar scheduler" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 17, 2023 Pros I like to be able to make as many as booking pages and make changes inside them. I'm a fan of customizations and ZCal does a good job to approach this for its users. Cons I don't like the branding everywhere, they always have a branding, the email customizations and form customization is a bit limited and is not flexible. Switched from [TidyCal](https://www.capterra.com/p/250843/TidyCal/) Limits on TidyCal was a lot more, and at the time, they did not support 2-way sync. Alternatives considered [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Reasons for choosing zcal Pricing is a great factor in choosing these programs for small businesses and zCal offers free plan to try them and you can keep them forever.

AU Anonymous User Consultant Internet ### "Zcal is Great For Quick Bookings" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 18, 2023 Pros I like being able to put in a booking link so people can find a date/time that they want to meet with me. It integrates with Zapier. It is free. It has almost all the bells and whistles of paid products out there. Cons Still trying to figure out how to connect with my meeting software that doesn't have zapier connection yet. But I think it does integrate with the major ones.

AU Anonymous User CEO Information Technology and Services ### "A great meeting scheduler" 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 6/10 October 6, 2022 Having in mind the easy of use and the speedy configuration process I am always recommending zcal when I am asked for a good meeting scheduler. Pros Very easy to use and straight-forward process of setting up your account. The integrations with Google and Zoom are easy to connect. Generating the meeting url will not take me more than 10 seconds. Cons The thing I least like about the app is that the mobile app crashed a few times during use, but this could be from my phone security settings.

Communications Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Good Doodle Alternative" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 13, 2022 Overall much more aesthetically pleasing than its competitor and does what I need. I can see how it would be useful for other applications, though my need is very basic. Pros I found zcal when I realized Doodle no longer allowed appointments less than 30 minutes (I needed 20 minute timeslots). Once I figured out how it worked, it has been seamless and user-friendly. Alerts were helpful, and I did a test to figure out how to delete a booking to re-open that time slot. Cons I needed this software for scheduling appointments at a 1-day event with three 20-min slots per hour. It is a bit confusing for the user because they have to navigate the calendar to the event date, but once they select that date, it is straightforward.

Pros I liked the full features you get from the freemium offer. You can integrate your zoom app and Google Meet to offer your guests a choice of booking location. Cons Still lacking a proper reminder system. I would love for that to be built properly but I also know it's a matter of time.
