I needed a tool that my clients could use to automatically make appointments with me from my website.
I saw other people using Calendly, and it looked very efficient, so I looked into it and decided to give it a try.
I am very happy. It works perfectly and provides exactly what I was looking for.

Pros

It integrates perfectly with other apps, such as Zoom, so when someone makes an appointment, it automatically arranges for the zoom call and sends the link. So much time saved!

Cons

It is a bit complicated to set up. It took me a while to set it up and I needed the help of my web designer to integrate it into my website.

I tried to upgrade, the system said there was a problem and I had to contact billing. There was no way to contact billing directly. I could only deal with the bot. When someone finally responded to my issues I was instructed that I did not use the fasted way to contact customer support. I suggested that they have only the best way to contact customer service available on their website. The following is what I sent to them when they asked for feedback

If the chatbot was the only thing maybe I could have stayed. The follow up on the chatbot did not improve. Horrific experience. Absolutely horrific experience. No longer interested in paying for the lack of service anymore. I have set up another calendar system and am transitioning all of my links to it. There is no excuse for this. You continue with this nonsense you will be out of business. You can count on, I will be telling people to not use your service; the free service and especially the paid service. Simply because your app does not offer service at all.

Pros

It was good until I tried to upgrade. Then it all turned south.

Cons

The customer service or more appropriately lack there of.

Overall it's been a fantastic app to utilize. The interface is nice and streamlined on the front end and the back end. It's easy to integrate with my current calendar so items get blocked off. I like that I can send a link automatically to them and it takes a ton of time off my plate rather than spending time going back and forth about meetings!

Pros

I love how easy it is to create a link and manage my calendar openings.

Cons

Honestly, there's not much. But it does start to get expensive for a lot of team members - especially if we're only scheduling a few calls a week. I'm actually wondering if it's possible for the scheduler to add a guest or more people to the call? I don't use that side often but it's a thought if that's not available.

I get a tons of meetings to handle in my workspace and Calendly takes care of scheduling and notifying me. I highly recommend it to anyone who has to handle many meetings.

Pros

I love how easy it is for someone to go through my pre made link to schedule a meeting at a time when I am free. I have to handle tons of meetings every week and handling all schedules can get hard but Calendly has made it easy. I just have a 30 minute meeting link that I have posted on my website and anyone who wants a meeting can directly schedule from there and I can get the meeting details. I really love this feature.

Cons

I can't think of any cons about Calendly but it would be better if the meeting scheduling page had few things for easy scheduling. Sometimes people struggle to successfully schedule a meeting because of many texts, buttons.

Calendly generally provides a smooth and efficient scheduling experience. Setting up availability is straightforward, and once it's configured, the tool effectively automates appointment scheduling without much need for manual coordination. This makes it ideal for managing time across clients or team members, as it eliminates back-and-forth emails by letting others choose from available slots.

Pros

Pros: Super easy to set up and automates scheduling seamlessly. Integrates well with calendars to prevent double-booking.

Cons

Customer support is limited for users on lower-tier plans, which may delay assistance for resolving issues or learning about advanced features.

My overall experience with Calendly has been extremely positive. It has significantly streamlined the process of scheduling appointments and reduced the time spent coordinating meeting times. The app’s intuitive interface makes it easy for both me and my clients to use, and the seamless integration with my calendar ensures that everything stays organized. Automated reminders and notifications help reduce missed appointments, and I appreciate the flexibility it offers in customizing availability. Although some advanced features require a paid plan, the free version still provides enough functionality to meet most of my scheduling needs. Calendly has become an indispensable tool in managing my time efficiently.

Pros

I’ve been using Calendly to allow people to book appointments within time slots of my choosing, and it has become an essential tool I wouldn’t do without. What I like most about Calendly is its simplicity and flexibility. It allows me to manage my schedule effortlessly, providing clear options for people to book appointments at times that work for both of us. The integration with my calendar helps prevent double-booking, and the automatic reminders for both parties reduce no-shows. It’s user-friendly and saves a ton of back-and-forth emails when trying to arrange meetings.

Cons

I use the free version, as we are a charity and are very mindful of our costs. While Calendly is generally a great tool, one of the drawbacks is the limited customization options in the free version. For instance, more advanced features like setting different availability for different meeting types or adding personalized branding are locked behind a paid plan. Also, depending on your specific needs, syncing with certain calendars or apps can sometimes feel a bit limited. Occasionally, invitees might find the interface slightly confusing if they’re not used to booking through such tools.

Overall, I really enjoy using this product. It has made my recruiting efforts much easier since I no longer have to call every single person to schedule. I can send mass texts or emails with my links, and they can add themselves to my calendar. It is convenient for them and for me.

Pros

I love how it makes my every day easier as I can send a link out for people to schedule their own interviews on my calendar. It saves me so much time!

Cons

I don’t like that if you get logged out, it causes issues with your scheduling.

Pros

I love Calendly because it easily syncs to my work calendar and I can easily keep track of what appointments people have booked on my calendar and block out enough time between appointments automatically as well. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Cons

The only thing that's confusing to me is trying to find my availability to update every once in a while since I don't always navigate it every week. I wish this was a bit simpler to find quickly.

As a Design User Experience Researcher, Calendly has become an indispensable tool in my workflow, particularly when scheduling customer interviews and usability testing sessions. Its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with my calendar systems (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.) have greatly simplified the process of finding mutually convenient meeting times with participants.

Pros

A standout feature is the round robin scheduling option, which allows different team members to share the responsibility of customer exposure and continuous discovery. This ensures that everyone in the team has valuable, hands-on interaction with customers, improving our collective understanding of their needs.

Cons

This isn't a con just an fyi that for small research teams requiring more advanced features like group bookings or round robin scheduling, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan.

Helps you to forget about your back and forth emails about suitable times for a meeting.

Pros

Calendly offers a vast amount of functionalities that are essential when you want to easily let others choose time slots for a meeting straight from your calendar(s). One of the best things in Calendly is the fact that you can connect multiple calendars to it – for example I have connected our company calendar, my family calendar and my personal business calendar to it and it still works like a charm and I can be sure that no meeting will take place when I am not available, even without my oversight.

Cons

Setting up Calendly might be a bit overwhelming process. And you might get fooled a bit at the start (during the free trial period) and think that you will be able to use most of the features in the freemium version as well.

Excellent, it's my favorite scheduling application to use when I need to invite someone external for a meeting.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use, and how it connects to Google calendar seamlessly. I've used both the free plan and the paid plan. The paid plan allows you to customize your calendar more and gives you more options to set reminders across multiple applications.

For anyone looking for simple scheduling, they have the best free plan for that purpose.

Cons

The pricing should be lower to encourage companies to keep it for longer than they need it for.
