Bookafy vs. TidyCal

In my experience, Bookafy has pretty much the same features as the other well-known scheduling apps. In terms of functionality, the two obstacles I experience were setting up a hidden (not shown on the main booking page) meeting for special bonus calls you don't want anyone to have access to. Yes, you can set up a paid meeting and give someone a coupon to access it free but that seems like an extra unnecessary step. The other limitation was how ugly it looks to embed meetings on a website. The scheduler looks fine inside Bookafy, but when embedded, it doesn't flow as well. For everything else, it works well. If you want to sync the scheduler with email marketing systems, most of the integrations work through Zapier so that can be an additional cost. Bookafy focuses on the meeting schedules.

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.

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.
