Cal.com gives individuals one of the most generous free plans in this category: one user, unlimited links and calendars, email and SMS notifications, Stripe and PayPal payments, two-way Salesforce and HubSpot sync and more than 100 app integrations, with a one-click import of Calendly events. Teams at $12 per user per month billed yearly adds a shared team with round-robin, collective and managed links, recurring events, routing forms, booking analytics and branding removal, with a 14-day free trial. Organizations at $28 per user adds sub-teams, attribute-based routing, a company subdomain, SAML SSO and SCIM, and lists SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 compliance. Developers can build on the API and webhooks. The trade-off is that the settings page is dense, with options such as seats, private links and requires-confirmation flows that a solo consultant may never touch.

Who it is for

Individuals who want a capable free plan and small teams that want round-robin at a lower per-user price.
