Calendly

The market leader for simple scheduling. It is intuitive and reliable, but paying for a premium subscription just for a calendar often makes less sense than an all-in-one.

3
Acuity Scheduling

A robust scheduler owned by Squarespace. It handles payments and intake forms well but is a standalone subscription.

4
Doodle

Best known for finding group meeting times. It has evolved into a scheduler but is still primarily focused on group coordination.

5
ScheduleOnce

A powerful tool for teams. It offers deep integration and pooling, but the interface can feel a bit enterprise-centric.

6
BookLikeABoss

Focuses on creating "booking pages" that sell your time. Great for coaches, but less integrated for general business meetings.

7
Setmore

A solid free option for basic needs. Good for salons and local services, though the free plan has limits.

8
SimplyBook.me

Highly customizable with many "add-on" features. It is flexible but can be complex to configure perfectly.

9
Square Appointments

Perfect if you already use Square for payments. It is seamless for retail and beauty businesses but less suited for B2B or digital agencies.

10
YouCanBook.me

A simple, reliable scheduler that integrates well with Google Calendar. A good alternative to Calendly but lacks broader features.
