Appointlet vs. TidyCal

Appointlet is a fantastic tool. It allows you to easily send a link to people to book meetings with you. I put it in my email signature so my clients know they can book a meeting with me anytime they need to. It eliminates the "when can you meet" back and forth emails, and is an incredible tool.

Tidycal will modify the time
zones between me and the individual with whom I wish to meet.

I will instantly receive a
confirmation email after a client or friend schedules a meeting with me.
Booking reminder emails are
sent to attendees 24 hours and 1 hour before the meeting to reduce no-shows.
TidyCal is a very user-friendly and simple program. I can rapidly assemble all of my calendars for
integration thanks to the straightforward interface.

• They don't seem to have a default schedule available ,meaning you have to customize your availability for each meeting
• I'm unsure if they offer time zone support when you are the one travelling (ie. can you easily change your time zone if you are going away)
• Reminder emails are only sent out if you purchase their premium plan

Appointlet's closest competitor is Calendly. Calendly is certainly more well known but Appointlet is just as good. Ultimately, Appointlet's free plan allows you to have multiple different kinds of meetings. This is different than Calendly's free plan and is ultimately why I chose to go with Appointlet.

In Google Calendar, we can't do advance booking. First, we have to collaborate on confirming a time suitable for everyone before scheduling a meeting this may lead to time waste for all the parties, this problem can be solved with the help of TidyCal resulting in better time management.

• It has saved me hours of time going back and forth to try and get a meeting scheduled
• I don't charge through Appointlet but tack meetings onto client invoices. The ease for them being able to book has upped the number of client meetings I have.
