    Square Appointments I like it as well it just doesn't have the robust ability that Calendly does. Personally, if there were an ability to do that, Square Appointments could give Calendly a run for their money for their own customers. I don't see how they could move the compete …

    Square looks and feels more professional than Booksy, while requiring a card on file - something Calendly cannot do. I like that they are affordable and clients enjoying scheduling through Square Appointments. Scheduling an appointment works every time. The integration with …

    Calendly
    It's well suited for music students' lessons. It's well suited for online coaching, primarily through places like Zoom and more. It helps simplify things for your clients, lets you program your schedule, and allows it all to go automatically! If you are working with a senior population, it may be a little tricky for them to sign up and then really hard for them to cancel lessons. There isn't a way to go to the site and cancel. You have to pull up the confirmed email and cancel from there, but people can lose emails.

    Prospecting through LinkedIn. This tool allowed me to automate this entire process after creating the initial parameters. It was very cost effective and I would use it again in the future.

    Great for booking and managing appointments. This software is very user-friendly due to its simplicity. The interface is intuitive and easy to use for all ages. The only time this software may not be appropriate might be with someone who is managing their calendar manually and not using a software solution at all.

    Pros
    Calendly
    • Sync with multiple calendar types so my schedule is always current.
    • Integration with Zoom to schedule meetings, send invites, and populate my Zoom app accordingly.
    • Automatic email communication to all parties with all relevant details in a clear format.
    • Allowing team members to do the same in a way that I'm also notified of what meetings are taking place saves a lot of time in terms of coordinating to find out what other people are doing.
    • Well-designed interface that simplifies everything down to its clearest expression. Language instruction and interaction are wonderfully simple and clear.

    • Square had good interoperability with Google Calendar, so all of our calendars were in sync.
    • Square Appointments we easy to use for clients, and with a few Luddite exceptions, worked flawlessly.
    • Square Appointments made it easy to schedule appointments without having multiple email messages or play phone tag with anyone.

    Cons
    Calendly
    • After a meeting is booked, having the ability to change the location without canceling the entire booking.
    • Being able to offer 2 different locked in locations for certain time periods of the day within the same event. So you're not having to create 2 events for the same thing, only different locations.
    • Giving users permission to create their own routing forms. We run an independent business model where our users like to have control over their subscriptions.

    For all reasons like workflows, UI, and the way Calendly keeps all of us engaged through the Collective forum. It's indeed undeniable that no other product covers all business needs like Calendly does. On the other side, this has also reduced the workload by enabling us to focus more on other tasks for the day

    Usability
    Calendly
    Calendly is extremely easy to use for selecting times and days for meetings. From my end, it's very easy to indicate the days and times that I am available for meetings. I have used other scheduling products, but Calendly has the smoothest way of operating. I highly recommend it for scheduling meetings

    • Square Appointment is excellent at support! I have had several calls with them, and not one time have they dropped the ball, leaving me frustrated without a solution — not one time.
    • The community forum in Square Appointment can answer most of the questions, but if I have had real issues, I am always able to talk to a person. That is very valuable to me as a customer.

    When I started using it, there were not many competitors in this space. I've seen some like Mixmax that seem to work well for solopreneurs or where free version might be better than Calendly's free version. I use the paid version of Calendly and it's just kept serving us well so why change?

    We've tried other outsourced leadgen tools and companies and they just don't deliver like Kennected has. Been customers for years now, and will continue to be a user of Kennected for the foreseeable future.

    Though office can offer a lot of appointment base tasks. Square appointments seem to help keep track, with a more direct approach. It helps to declutter integrations and information, that can often get missed and feel to convoluted. It's approach is more specific in handling appointment needs and scheduling. We would recommend it.

    Return on Investment
    Calendly
    • Positive: When people want to meet, I can simply send my Calendly link and it takes less than 5 seconds to do.
    • Positive: It integrates well with Zoom, which means that by default all my appointments include Zoom information for a remote call.
