How it works
The free plan is generous, with unlimited event types, and paid plans add team scheduling, round-robin distribution, and admin controls. Booking pages can be embedded directly on your own website, and the platform supports payments, workflows, and reminders.
A free plan is available, and Teams starts at $15 per user per month on annual billing. Cal.com is an excellent choice for teams that value openness and control, though its ecosystem is smaller than Calendly's and self-hosting needs technical work.
