    N/AA tool to make scheduling the next meeting easier with calendar integrations, booking pages, and customization. Trying to schedule a meeting can lead to the hassle of back-and-forth emailing to find a time that works. (“Next month is a no-go, too. Should we try for 3 p.m. CT after the next solar eclipse?”) Also coordinating between time zones and tracking availability across personal and work calendars can be a challenge. TidyCal is presented as an…

    Calendly
    Chose Calendly
    I've tried x.ai and LinkedIn Scheduler as alternatives. x.ai is very cool technology but I found it more awkward to explain to a client or candidate vs a straightforward scheduler like Calendly.

    LinkedIn Scheduler is way more basic and doesn't give you control over your …

    Tidycal have the 90% of the features of Calendly but for 29$ it is the best relation price-performance.
    Tidycal is very simple to set up and use.Very easy integration with zoom/365/google calendar
    If you need to integrate with PayPal it is easy and no extra cost (We do not use)

    TidyCal was a cleaner product and integrated well with our existing Google environment. For certain positions, IT for example, it was a clear choice and users on both ends found it good.

    Chose TidyCal
    Because TidyCal has more features, more user friendly and no issues with integration or worries about any errors or overlaps that might occur. On top of that, knowing that more features will come into play in the future, it is truly an amazing application that helps in my line …

    Chose TidyCal

    Chose x.ai
    I have tried many apps. They just do not have all the options that x.ai does. Some have better APIs, like Acuity, but the interface for booking is a bit lackluster and the price for the features is just not there for me.

    Chose x.ai
    x.ai is much better for my needs, and it's cooler to use AI.

    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.

    Maybe if you are needing a large enterprise solution you may need something else but we have found that it fits all of needs as a 32 people team. It has worked flawlessly since we installed it. I keep focusing on this but it is a 30 min set up and that’s it.

    x.ai
    X.ai is very well suited for a departmental type use where Amy has access to everyone's calendar. It is a requirement that people keep their calendars up to date and live by them. Otherwise Amy might think that you are free when you have a flight booked or are on vacation. She is extremely good for those times when a prospect agrees to talk to you at a conference. I just send them a quick email, cc Amy and tell her to set up a call, and it magically shows up on my calendar!

    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.

    x.ai
    • x.ai makes it easy to initiate, schedule, and manage meetings with internal and external constituents. Especially in the case of internal constituents, scheduling is almost instantaneous on the team plan because the AI can see the available/busy schedules for anyone in our G Suite domain and schedule meetings based on my preferences and the other person's availability.
    • The calendar function makes it easy for me to share a limited calendar with others so that they can automatically schedule a meeting with me without having to go back and forth.
    • The customer service team at x.ai is stellar. They are kind, quick to respond, and typically resolve cases on the first try. They are also incredibly receptive to feedback and new ideas that often get incorporated into the product.

    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.

    • One of my clients wanted to set up membership subscriptions that can be billed through the app. As far as I can tell it doesn't have that capability yet.
    • It would be great if Square was one of the integrations.
    • Maybe being able to set travel time to in-person meetings by integration with Google Maps?

    • One person mentioned that the zoom link isn't easy to open from the calendar appointment
    • Some people have been confused by using the names "Amy" or "Andrew", not realizing these are AI bots. So, I now use the "X.ai scheduler" to avoid confusion

    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

    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?

    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.

    • Positive: When people want to meet, I can simply send my Calendly link and it takes less than 5 seconds to do.
