Project Architect Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A timesaver and efficient way to get your calendar filled with bookings." December 7, 2024 5.0 I've been using it for about 3 months now and it really has saved me so much time. Pros It is very easy for clients and prospects to book time on my calendar without me having to do anything. Cons Does not integrate fully into as many 3rd party solutions as other platforms. Alternatives considered [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Reason for choosing TidyCal Cost was much lower for TidyCal when compared to Calendly Review Source MH Monika H. Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent booking tool" September 17, 2025 5.0 Great value, lifetime deal, super easy to use, very intuitive booking system, flexible bookings, and excellent support! Pros TidyCal has been a fantastic tool for me. The thing I appreciate the most is the one-time lifetime price — no recurring subscription fees, which makes it an incredible value compared to other scheduling platforms. It’s also very easy to use. The interface is clean and intuitive, so setting up was quick and hassle-free. I love that I can create multiple booking events for different purposes, which gives me a lot of flexibility in how I manage my calendar. On top of that, their customer service has been excellent — quick, friendly, and genuinely helpful whenever I had a question. Overall, TidyCal has everything I need without the complexity or ongoing costs, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a simple and effective scheduling solution. Cons The only downside I’ve found is that TidyCal currently allows you to set just one currency at a time. Since I work with clients from different countries, they all have to pay in USD, which isn’t always convenient for them. Having multi-currency support would make the platform even better. Alternatives considered [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Reason for choosing TidyCal one lifetime purchase instead of monthly subscription Review Source SS Sam S. Certified Sleep Practitioner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Scheduler" March 26, 2026 5.0 Really easy to set up and use, and easy for my clients to book sessions with me too. Really good value for money. Pros TidyCal is super easy to set up and use. I love the fact that I can easily have multiple booking types. Cons Nothing really. I've used lots of different schedulers over the years, and TidyCal is by far the best in my opinion. Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) I felt Calendly was expensive for my purposes. Review Source NA Nic A. MD Alternative Dispute Resolution Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "FAIL! App is a failure" February 11, 2024 3.0 Unreliable. Too risky to continue usage as it jeopardises my business. Low quality customrr service probably as a result of low price point. Currently looking for a more reliable app. Pros Simple, basic, easy to use. Simple, basic, easy to use. Cons Failed on a number of issues b ut most importantly it syncs with your main calendar to start with then periodically then not at all. Despite reboot, reset, different browser, empty cache, different laptop, tried movile usage. In the end unreliable. Alternatives considered [SimplyBook.me](https://www.capterra.com/p/140086/Simplybook-me/) Reason for choosing TidyCal cheaper and seemed to offer simple service Review Source DL David L. Executive Coach Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "TidyCal - great value for a scheduling app" January 2, 2026 4.0 Similar to other scheduling apps, you can create various appointment types, connect them to your calendars and direct people to book a time that suits them. Since its connected to your calendar of choice (if you keep your digital calendar up-to-date) no double bookings and back-and-forth by email about when is a good time to meet. Once you have set it up clients can book a time slot. It works as expected. You can get very granular as to what times of day and what weekdays you are available, set up prices and have clients pay right when they book (via Stripe or PayPal) and of course the integration with your calendar will avoid any double bookings similar to other services like this, probably the most known is Calendly. It has most of the usual perks that come with schedulers: It connects to your digital calendar (Google Calendar, MS365 and Apple's iCal are all supported), connects to your video conference tools (TidyCal supports Google Meet, Zoom and MS Teams) as well as payment systems (Stripe, PayPal). You can embed a specific appointment type on your website (or the page with all the ones you make visible) as well as 'invisible' appointment types which means these will only work when you send the link to a specific person. The webapp gives you an overview over any bookings made, automatically sends emails with video call links to you and your client, adds the call to your calendar of choice and so on. In the appointment types you can specify that one or multiple email reminders are sent out to your customers ahead of the call. Customers can click a link to reschedule. We tried to use the team function for our team, but it turned out that for that to work all team members need to have purchased a license, something not clear from the advertising. Not a deal breaker, but something worth noting and being aware of if you want to use this with your team. I would like to see an app for my phone for this, but the reality is I would most likely not use it that much, so the lack of a mobile app was not a real problem when I looked at this. The main difference to Calendly is that you trade in a tiny bit of polish on the web app for cost saving. TidyCal is not a subscription, but a one time fee. Meaning, you only pay once up front for the service and then can use it indefinitely, rather than dishing out for a recurring monthly or annual subscription. Pros \- connects to Google Meet, Zoom and MS Teams. That means a meeting link is sent out to you and the client automatically - embedding your page (with all visible appointments) or a single appointment type in your website is easy peasy - you can set up appointment types as 'paid' and connect it to PayPal or Stripe so booking a session includes the payment process - no recurring subscription, but a one time payment Cons \- teams functions are only available if all users on the team have a paid 'tier 1' license - no mobile app - web app layout forces you to do more clicks than needed during setup and could use some polish Switched from [Microsoft Bookings](https://www.capterra.com/p/176567/Bookings/) MS Booking only connects with MS Teams as a web conferencing tool. I like it that I can give customers a choice to use Zoom, MS Teams or Google Meet. Since many of my calls are to areas with poor network coverage and MS Teams is a resource hog, having these options is going to increase the quality of my calls. Review Source NP Nathaly P. Spanish tutor E-Learning Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Really good app for Spanish lessons and classes in general." March 20, 2026 5.0 Pros I work teaching Spanish lessons, and Tidycal has been really useful. It is a really intuitive platform, I love that it is so easy to create my meetings and to classify them. It is totally worth the value and the return on the investment. Incredibly, even the free version is so complete, different from other calendar apps that you have to pay for some basic features. Cons I have not had the opportunity to use the customer support because everything has been working smoothly. Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) The free version of Calendly is extremely basic, and it is slightly less user-friendly. Review Source MD Mark D. CEO, Coach Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "TidyCal a nice alternative to the other calendar guys" February 28, 2025 5.0 A good product, at a fair price. Made for business owners and creators. Easy to use, easy to integrate. Pros Ease of use, cost, support, and integration with so many other products. Allows me to sell services from the program. Cons A lack of some functionality like in Calendly. Alternatives considered [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/)[Linktree](https://www.capterra.com/p/229171/Linktree/) Reason for choosing TidyCal Price, featureset for price, ease of use, trusted developer (Appsumo). Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Price and number of features, which is VALUE. Review Source SB Sabre’ B. Systems Strategist Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best scheduling app " March 24, 2026 5.0 Absolutely love, makes my life so much easier and I love how I can have it branded to my business. And it’s the easier thing to use Pros How easy it is to set up and the different ways you can set up your booking links. With limits daily, monthly, etc Cons That their isn’t an app, and wirh creating the confirmation email and booking event, it changes together, instead of you being able to edit them on by one Switched from [Google Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/247901/Google-Workspace/) It doesn’t integrate well with zapier and airtable and tidy cal does Review Source FM Fiona M. Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Appointment Booking Software" April 10, 2025 5.0 This is THE BEST booking app I have used. I moved form Calendly (which was way too expensive for very few features) and have not looked back. Tidycal has so many different features, customisation options and is super easy to use. I can't live without it now! Pros Multiple features, ease of use, integrations with other platforms. Cons Nothing. Everything about Tidycal is fantastic! Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) The cost for Tidycal was much, much lower and there were far more features included. Review Source GLV Garry Lloyd V. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best online booking calendar that won't break your bank" February 25, 2025 5.0 It's pretty, it's easy and does the job. 🎯 And I pay only once! Pros It's simplicity, in design and function, I get drawn to something that's plain looking for me. Less for me is pretty. Cons Its long wait for Outlook calendars to sync. Switched from [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.capterra.com/p/227138/Microsoft-Outlook/)[Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/)[Google Calendar](https://www.capterra.com/p/213340/Google-Calendar/) It's presentable versus the free apps and more elegant looking than the pricey ones Review Source EM Eladio M. Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best scheduling app with a cheap lifetime deal" December 18, 2023 5.0 I'm quite happy with this tool. Easy to set up and with a professional look. Pros A quite powerful alternative to Calendly for a fraction of the price. The integration with Stripe to allow paid meetings is fantastic. Cons It is a little bit cumbersome to set the time slots for each weekday. There should be an easier way to exclude holidays from the available days. Alternatives considered [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Reason for choosing TidyCal Tidycal offerts a lifetime deal. Calendly does not. Review Source BA Brittni A. CRM and Email Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool especially with the one time payment" July 17, 2025 5.0 TidyCal was easy to set up. Also very easy to integrate a payment processor to be able to take paid meetings. Overall great tool. Pros Great product. Similar to Calendly but with a one time payment instead of monthly. Works great to book calls. Cons I don't think it integrates as easily with other platforms as some don't support the integration. I also dislike that it only lets you have one booking page. I also use Appointlet and over there I have a few different booking pages. I use one for existing clients and one for discovery calls. That way, prospects see my paid consulting, where as existing clients have meetings added to their monthly invoice. Review Source AK Ali K. Founder Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Limited Features for Small Businesses " June 12, 2024 4.0 Pros It's a simple application that works for you and AppSumo is working to make it better, but it's a bit slow because it's free. Cons It has limited features, number of connections like and some other branding options are very limited. Reason for choosing TidyCal I chose Sessions, but it was not listed. It has a lot of features such as video meeting, booking, payment, branding, etc. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An awesome alternative to Calendly with only one problem" February 2, 2023 5.0 Overall, TidyCal is a great alternative to Calendly and all the others. Pros I like the simplicity of the system and the fact that it is a one-time fee rather than a subscription. Cons I hate the fact that it is not accessible to people with visual impairment and I hope they will fix it soon. According to their support team, it seems like they are working on it. Alternatives considered [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/)[Koalendar](https://www.capterra.com/p/218443/Koalendar/) Reason for choosing TidyCal Mostly because of the cost. Switched from [Calendly](https://www.capterra.com/p/148036/Calendly/) Because of the cost. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultor técnico Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "TidyCal" April 19, 2023 4.0 En general es una aplicación que cumple de manera eficiente para lo que está creada, buena facilidad de uso, simple en el día a día, intuitiva y buenas opciones pero si utilizas el entorno Google podrías tener casi lo mismo. Pros Lo que más me ha gustado es la facilidad de uso nada más comenzar, es muy intuitivo, tiene muy buenas programaciones de citas, recordatorios, etc. En general cumple lo que promete y una buena relación calidad precio con versión gratuita. Cons Dispone de pocas opciones de personalización aunque por el precio que tiene creo que es normal. De vez en cuando tiene errores de conexión con la nube pero creo que eso puede deberse a más factores que solo la aplicación pero puede que no tenga tanta estabilidad la conexión de la aplicación. Ahora con la suite de Google es complejo apostar por este tipo de aplicativos, si no utilizas los servicios de Google si es muy interesante.

Cons Has simple customisation options for page look, such as profile image and brand colour. If you want more then should know that it does not have booking page banner or background image option for booking page.Does not yet have domain customisation option. Though customised link on TidyCal domain can be created. Review Source AA Arif A. CEO VA Marketing Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The most overrated" November 3, 2022 5.0 Pros This system simply has everything I need for my consultancies, it is simple but powerful and reliable, it has a meeting management system, with reminders for you and your clients, and you can also coordinate it with Gmail. What I like the most is that when one of my clients schedules a meeting I can redirect them to my Thank you page where I can install the Facebook Pixel or the Google tag, this is pure efficiency for me. Also consider that it is constantly updated Cons Perhaps, it lacks more integration options with other apps, but for now it has the ones that are strictly necessary for me Review Source Alys G. Marketing Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The perfect alternative to Calendly" August 4, 2022 5.0 Pros I loved the simple interface of this software, both for me setting it up and for my clients booking appointments. It was really easy and quick to get started. Cons They haven’t added a Microsoft Teams integration yet Review Source Andrew K. Head of Communications Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Misleading misrepresentation" April 24, 2026 1.0 \- misleading misrepresentation and a waste of time for our team. Would not recommend for anyone planning to use for more than one person Pros \- You can customize the UI in terms of fonts, colors, and look and feel. It has one of the best (and worst) UI customizations I've found - for an individual working alone, the price point is good Cons \- misleading marketing. The agency plan that is "recommended for teams" is actually not suitable for teams at all. We wasted hours trying to force it to do basic things - misleading marketing x2: the agency plan does NOT actually license the agency features across your team members - awful marketing via their forced branding. Even on the highest paid plan, regardless of your brand style, they FORCE their big blue logo on your page. - On my team members page, it is so bad, the logo actually covers up some features - If you build a booking type from the "agency" account, it uses the same meeting location for all members. So how can two members schedule an external meeting at the same time? How is that an agency approach. Review Source BC Bakari C. Web Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome Automated Booking Scheduling App " November 14, 2025 5.0 My experience with TidyCal has been very positive over the years. I have never encountered any problems, nor have I needed to contact support. It simply works for me. Although I've seen other booking scheduling apps with attractive designs, I still find TidyCal's simplicity sufficient for my needs. Pros I've been using TidyCal for about 4 to 5 years, and I appreciate its ease of use and my lifetime subscription, which eliminates the need for annual payments. It's very convenient for sharing my TidyCal calendars, allowing others to set up appointments and connect easily. Additionally, it automatically integrates with Zoom, streamlining the process for everyone involved. I have five different booking types for both client and personal use. Having separate URLs for each booking type is beneficial, as I can easily share them via email, text messages, or social media. It's also convenient that TidyCal sends specified email reminders before scheduled meetings. This a great time saver. Cons I guess TidyCal could use some additional design features, including the ability to add images in booking pages. Review Source MR Michelle R. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple, Powerful Booking Tool That Just Works" May 16, 2025 5.0 TidyCal has streamlined how I manage client appointments and events. Before this, I was juggling manual emails and inconsistent time zones, but now I can send a single link and let people choose a time that works. I especially appreciate the ability to create both free and paid booking types, which lets me separate discovery calls from paid consultations. For the price and functionality, it’s an outstanding solution especially for solopreneurs, coaches, and service based businesses. Pros TidyCal’s interface is incredibly clean and user friendly. Setting up booking pages takes just a few minutes, and I love how easy it is to integrate with Google Calendar, Zoom, and payment platforms like Stripe or PayPal. It’s also amazing that there’s a one time payment model instead of a recurring subscription... rare in scheduling tools! Being able to set different appointment types, availability windows, and automated confirmation emails is a game changer for my small business. Cons It’s a bit basic in terms of advanced features if you’re looking for deep CRM integration or detailed analytics, this may not be robust enough. Also, the mobile UI could use a little polishing. Nothing deal breaking, but it’s more functional than sleek on a phone. Review Source GR George R. Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Streamlined Scheduling with TidyCal — Even the Free Version Delivers" April 15, 2025 5.0 TidyCal has been a great tool so far. Even using the free version, I’ve been impressed with how much flexibility it offers. It integrates seamlessly with my Google Calendar, which keeps everything in sync without any extra effort. I especially appreciate the ability to add custom questions to the booking process - I've used this to gain affirmative consent for potentially recording a meeting, which has been seamless and professional. The control over time slots, buffer times, and availability settings makes scheduling easy and efficient. Very satisfied with the experience so far! Pros Seamless Google Calendar Integration – Keeps your schedule automatically synced and up to date. Highly Customizable Booking Options – Control availability, buffer times, and add required questions like consent forms. Great Value – Offers generous features in the free version, with an affordable one-time payment for premium access. Cons Limited Integrations – Fewer native integrations compared to tools like Calendly or Acuity. No Mobile App – Access is limited to web browsers, which can be less convenient on the go. Basic Branding on Free Plan – Custom branding and more advanced customization require upgrading. Review Source JT Joseph T.

It's more easy to get than the other main one, and has pretty much the same fucntionnalities. Pros Simple and straight to the point, it offers also the ability to pay only once which i like a lot. You can set appointments and have a synchronisation with you calendar which is great Cons The software could be translated in more languages which will be great for ease of use. Also API could be implemented in more automation app like zapier, IFTTT fors example Review Source LA Lukasz A. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It is light, simple and cheap" December 20, 2024 5.0 It works perfectly, without any problems. It is also friendly to people who make appointments with me. Pros TidyCal is super easy to set up, even non-technical people will have no trouble setting it up. This saves a lot of time compared to competing solutions on the market. Cons This isn't a big problem for me, but there are limited options for customizing the look to your needs.
