The main decision for Bookafy was influenced by the lifetime deal and Zoom integration. Bookafy doesn't embed as well as Calendly. It also doesn't have the ability to set up hidden meetings. MeetFox is all through a browser which is convenient for that not tech savvy but it lacked security features. Calendly feels more intuitive and easier to set up. I didn't want to keep paying monthly.

I like the reminder features as well as suggested calendar blocks. It is helpful to have the option to show my time as free or busy, include when I am on vacation, and sick time.
