Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Youcanbook.me is great for small businesses or for self-employed professionals who need an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for handling large numbers of clients. It's great for eliminating inconvenient miscommunication and tedious back-to-back emails in order to set a proper date and/or meeting details. However, if you need a more sophisticated system that fits into your company's IT procedures and carries sensitive data, an in house solution would fit best.
Read full review Pros I can sync it with my Google Calendar, so no double bookings. I can create several different types of meetings. I can set my availability, so no meetings are scheduled when I need to be working on client work. I can set a buffer between meetings. I can set up 1:1 meetings or group meetings and even pick different locations. It automatically fills in my Google Meet instructions for my clients. It allows me to charge ahead for bookings. Can't beat the price! Read full review One really helpful feature of YouCanBook.Me for our organization is that everyone can see appointment times in their own time zone. We frequently schedule interviews with applicants nationwide, as well as communicating with team members located in 32 different countries, so this has really simplified scheduling. We rely heavily on Google Calendar for staff scheduling, so it is great that YouCanBook.Me can sync your availability straight from your calendar as well as automatically adding meetings to your calendar when they are booked. We use YouCanBook.Me to schedule follow-up calls with people we meet at conferences and other recruiting events. It's really simple to have someone sign up for a call, and this has been a really effective tool for us to stay in communication with prospects.

Once I get the date sent to me in my email, I have to cancel the meeting and re-set the meeting with my own personalized Zoom Invite. Sometimes that is confusing for the prospect. However, now that I write this...I see an article on the web site about creating a unique Zoom meeting invite. I will have to check that out. I set my work days as 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. but on the calendar it shows a time available at 6 p.m. My last appointment should be listed as 5 p.m., as my appointments are in 30-minute increments and I leave at 5:30 p.m. So that is confusing and resulted in a few appointments booked when I am not actually working. I book demos for a coworker, and if he is busy in another meeting, I have to block it off in my calendar as "Jack is Busy" so that prospects won't pick a time that is not available for Jack. I wish there was a way I could link his Outlook calendar to my YouCanBook.Me. Perhaps there is, but I am unaware of it. Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review YouCanBook.Me allows fuller messaging in addition to appointments.
Calendly is more minimalist than YouCanBook.Me. I prefer having more control over the look and feel, and functionality than it offers.
