Google Calendar vs. TidyCal

Google Calendar is well suited for scheduling 1:1 and smaller group meetings and recurring meetings. It's also well suited to connect with scheduling software. However, there is still a lot of opportunity for improvement when you want to make a very well-organized calendar (for example, limitations with the meeting tagging & categories). It's also not as well suited for helping with scheduling for bigger groups.

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.

Most of the other services we would use don't have the same integration with other Google services that Google Calendar has. The ability to view and set things from your email is very convenient. So is the ability to have your notifications automatically show up on an Android phone as a reminder.

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.
