Cal.com does what Calendly does, with the difference that the code is open and you can self-host it, which matters if you do not want your availability data on someone else's server. It handles multiple event types, round-robin routing, and calendar sync with Google and Outlook. The hosted free tier is usable for individuals.
Who it is for
A consultant who wants booking links on their own domain without a per-seat vendor.
Key features
- Multiple event types and booking links
- Round-robin and collective team routing
- Google, Outlook, and CalDAV sync
- Self-hostable under AGPL
- Workflows for reminders and follow-ups
- Free tier for individual users
Where it falls short
Self-hosting is real work, and setup is more involved than the commercial alternative.
Pricing
Free tier covers one user with unlimited bookings; team plans are per user from around $15, and self-hosting the open-source version is free but unsupported.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Cal.com.
