Calendly alternatives: 7 apps ranked by verified data

Facts checked Oct 25, 2026AppBreakup editorialHow we rank

Common reasons people leave Calendly: free plan allows only one event type and one calendar, and per-seat pricing adds up quickly for larger teams. We ranked 7 alternatives by how directly each one replaces Calendly, then by reviews, real visits and how recently each app's facts were checked against its own website. Cal.com currently ranks first.
