Likelihood to Recommend Assistant.to is well suited for anyone working with a large number of clients at once who need to schedule multiple meetings. If those clients do not have a background in online scheduling, then using this tool may not be the best solution. Assistant.to is a great tool for quickly scheduling meetings with options across 3 days, but for those wanting more flexibility you may want to consider
Calendly .
Read full review It's well suited if you're on a budget, don't want to pay a recurring fee, and need a way to automate appointments. However, when I get around to it, I think I'm going to look for a more reliable tool. It's really less appropriate when appointment setting is "mission-critical" -- that is, your business is entirely dependent on a reliable appointment setting system -- for example, if you're a hairstylist, dentist, etc. I believe there are many other tools out there specific to these purposes.

Read full review Pros Schedule client meetings. Schedule sales calls or demos. Easy integration with Google Apps. Read full review Customized schedules for each employee. High degree of customization possible. Set-up doesn't require coding skill (even HTML). Read full review Cons The app currently does not save the availability times that I select, therefore I have to re-select my availability every time I sent meeting options. The app does not have the ability to customize the theme or styles of the meeting times. It'd be nice to allow users to choose between a set of themes to better fit their company's brand. If Assistant.to had a scheduling link option like Calendly has, that would be another improvement. Sometimes we'll have customers who cannot meet until the following week, so having a scheduler link would be helpful in those situations. Read full review I find the interface to be a tad clunky and not that intuitive. I don't love the look and feel. My goal was to use TimeTrade exclusively for prospecting calls, which I gave a specific name. (e.g. Fall back in love with your business coaching session). I scheduled these open appointments for specific time slots when I'm available. I was surprised to discover that people could schedule different types of appointments at any open time in my calendar, not just the time slots I prefer.

Read full review Alternatives Considered When I first started at my current company, I used this tool because it was what the rest of the team used. However, since I learned about
Calendly , who recently released a feature similar to Assistant.to, I've actually switched to
Calendly .
Calendly also has the ability to create a scheduling link where someone can choose a time based on the parameters you set. This has proven to be more helpful for certain clients.
Read full review TimeTrade has been my favorite way (that I've discovered so far) to organize meeting attendees from different organizations and coordinate a time that works for everyone.
Read full review Return on Investment It has reduced our back and forth setting up appointments allowing sales to get more appointments faster. Our client success team is able to quickly provide their available time. Only real con is that the calendar is not real time and if a person clicks on a time that is not open, they don't find out until after they've gone to the site. But that is a limit of emails, not their tech. Read full review Saves me time by automating appointments. Low-cost, so little to no impact on budget.
