It's a consistent add to my sales process, making it easy for me to find time to meet with prospects.
Pros
The ease my prospects can use my calendar to schedule and reschedule meetings is the most important functionality of any tool. I can give them ways to book by adding a clickable calendar in the body of the email or by coming to a booking page.
Cons
Leadership seems to be using another tool for weblead booking. It does create an inconsistency, but I'm not part of that decision. But we fought to keep calendly for our personal scheduling.

Calendly has been a real game changer in our quest for effective scheduling. Calendly has enabled us to make scheduling so effective and effortless by doing most of the work for us using automations. It has been an easy and very effective scheduling experience with Calendly. With Calendly, there are no struggles finding time to schedule for a meeting.
Pros
I like how easy it was to learn Calendly and how to use it optimumly. The user interface is also very sleek abd easy to navigate. Calendly real-time sync with my calendar tool help find available time for scheduling based on my existing calendar activities. Its seamless integration with most online meeting products makes it easy to schedule for online meetings. Calendly offers automated schedule reminders and follow ups that ensure everyone shows up for the scheduled meetings.
Cons
All Calendly features has been so responsive. We have found nothing to hate in Calendly.

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.

I had used this first for an interview. I was able to see all available slots for present and future dates and book according to my flexibility. Once done, I was able to add this to my regular calendar of use. It automatically helps me follow up with the scheduled meetings and never miss anything. Initially I found it difficult to use, but it is pretty good
Pros
I like the idea behind the product, for scheduling meetings on the go. It helps enable a lot of things to be manually checked automated. I had first used this when an interview was scheduled with a company. They shared the link and I was able to schedule the interview based on my availability and slots prescribed by the interviewer. It comes with integration with the calendar you use - say outlook or any calendar you use for daily lookup for your meetings. It is integrated with Zoom which helps me streamlining all of my meetings efficiently
Cons
The free plan I tried has limited features, doesn’t actually give me the feel of what the product has more to explore. Customisation is another bottleneck which is limited. Sometimes sync issues happen with other integrated tools

Calendly is a user-friendly service with lots of customization options for how a user signs up for your event/meeting, even in the free version.
Pros
Calendly is great for a free service that allows users to schedule a meeting and link it to your Google Calendar.
Cons
Since I directly link to Calendly from my business website, I would love to integrate the SEO statistics into my Google Analytics. That required me to purchase the paid version of Calendly, however, which was disappointing.

Calendly to set up appointments in my Google calendar.
Reviewed on 07/03/2025
Pros
It's very easy to set up and use. I also like the integration with my Google account to sync with my calendar.
Cons
The button to change your availability was a little hard to find at first. It seems like that should be offered in more than one spot.

My experience with Calendly has been excellent. It works so smoothly that I’ve never once had to contact support with questions or technical issues.
Pros
My favorite thing about Calendly is it works smoothly and is super-simple: no learning curve, no “onboarding,” and no training needed.
I choose the days and time slots that I want to make available for consultations. Calendly puts it together in a visual calendar that makes it easy for clients to schedule a meeting. Since many of my appointments are potential new clients, I love that the software doesn’t ask them for a long list of personal information.
All they need to is choose a time, then enter their name, email address, and phone number (with an optional space for notes). Then Calendly immediately sends me an email letting me know that I have a new consultation scheduled.
The best part? It’s a breeze to embed the scheduling calendar on my WordPress site. Just drop the link in as an embed code, and it’s live - and looks great.
I’ve been using Calendly for years and they’ve never charged me a dime. Its “Always free” plan is actually free (if you only need the basics).
Cons
I don’t have any serious complaints. It would be nice to have more design options, however, the preset design looks good so it’s not a pressing issue.

Easy, clutter-free method for group meeting polls
Reviewed on 26/11/2024
Pros
Calendly is a perfect, clutter-free meeting scheduling software. I use the free version and primarily use it for meeting polls, as my job involves substantial volunteer and committee management. Calendly integrates with my Outlook calendar, so there is no need to have my Outlook calendar up on one monitor and Calendly up on the other as I create a meeting poll. I simply click into the hours of the day that I am available on the Calendly calendar which displays all my existing appointments. I can select various features before sending a poll out, such as if respondents can view other respondents' selections. I get notified whenever someone advises their availability on a meeting poll, and Calendly automatically shows me the top three times as more individuals vote on the poll. Although I use the free version, Calendly does not clutter the meeting poll page with spam advertisements that slows down or convolutes the process, which has been the case with other meeting poll platforms. Calendly is perfect for the use case of scheduling group meetings!
Cons
At this time, since I only use Calendly for meeting polls, I feel that I cannot comment on any cons. For that particular use case, I would highly recommend Calendly. As I get more into other features, I am sure there is always room for improvement.

I use calendly to help facilitate screening calls for my employment business. It’s pretty easy to use and I can set aside how many slots I want that day, the times I’m on lunch and the days where I just can’t take calls. I use calendly to also set up zoom meetings as it has the function as well!
Pros
I like that it’s a simple tool to use for the most part. You set up your availability and you are given a link. Once you get the link you’re able to hyper link it etc.
Cons
I don’t really like that on the “free” version you only get 1 event. Granted the product is free for one event space but if you want more you have to pay. Its understandable but a bit underwhelming.

Calendly is an intuitive scheduling tool that simplifies booking meetings without the endless back-and-forth emails. It has been a fantastic tool for improving productivity and streamlining my scheduling process. Despite a few limitations, it remains one of the best options for hassle-free scheduling.
Pros
Ease of use and seamless integrations with popular calendar platforms like Google Calendar and Outlook. Setting availability, sharing links, and allowing invitees to pick time slots that work for them makes scheduling effortless. The customizable booking pages and automatic reminders are also great features for keeping meetings organized.
Cons
Some advanced features, like setting multiple types of availability or customized reminders, are limited to the paid versions.

Overall, this is my go-to app for scheduling because it simplifies the process and removes friction for discovery calls and other types of meetings.
Pros
Calendly makes it easy for people to schedule a time to meet with you without the back and forth. You can set your availability in advance and people can choose open times. Using this tool not only saves a lot of time, but it also increases the conversions for discovery calls. I like the fact that I can embed it on my website to book calls at any time. You can also avoid surprise meetings by not allowing people to book with too little notice. In all a very convenient solution for booking meetings.
I use Calendly with Ninja Forms to get the information I need to prepare for the meeting.
Cons
Sometimes people tell me they tried to book a call but the app embed did not load in their browser.
Another small problem is that the settings are not completely intuitive. When I log in to change my availability or make changes to the types of meetings I am arranging, it sometimes takes me a minute or two to remember how to do it.

Easier way to get booked by clients for our training sessions. Actually many of them ended up getting it when they discovered it with me, we can also create workflows of follow up messages to clients after 7, 30 and 90 days it automated so much work and made our lives so much easier and I can tell it to send a survey after the call or reminders with discovery questions prior so I know what to expect but laty it had glitches where I would lose access unless I go back in and confirm connection which is weird because for 3 years I never had to and if I am subscribing it means I am all in but overall I wouldn’t live without it.
Pros
So easy to book meetings, they can see my calendar snd open slots so no need for back and forth
Cons
Lately they upgraded or changed so they keep making me confirm my connection and sometimes it delayed my bookings but for the first years it was a smooth ride

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.

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.

I've used Calendly for year and my experience has been quite pleasant. I like that clients can choose mutually available time slots with ease and I am able to receive a notification when a new meeting has been added to my calendar. I also liked that you can brand your calendar with your identity and give a description about what the time slots are being used for so everyone is on the same page.
Pros
Calendly is incredibly easy to set up. It easily integrates into to any site and you can sync your google calendar so you're able to stay organized. You can also take payments through Calendly if you're a consultant selling a service, this however is a paid feature but could be advantageous for clients to immediately pay for you time.
Cons
I wish Calendly had more complimentary features to try out before deciding to commit to their paid features. It can seem limited and it does let you complete basic tasks that allow for structuring your time in an effortless way.

Using Calendly feels like having a personal scheduling assistant—it makes setting up meetings super easy without all the email back and forth. You just share your link, and people pick a time that works for them, all based on your availability, so there’s no overlap or double-booking.
I also love that it sends reminders automatically, which means fewer last-minute cancellations or no-shows. It’s really helpful for working with people in different time zones too; it adjusts times automatically so you don’t have to figure it out. Overall, it’s a simple and friendly tool that keeps scheduling stress-free and organized.
Pros
Calendly's simplicity and ability to jump right in after a few minutes to set up stood out to me the most! It streamlines the scheduling process by eliminating the back-and-forth and allowing people to book directly based on availability.
Cons
While Calendly does offer some more robust scheduling features, sometimes I found it a little difficult to independently set up certain customizations. In addition, some customizations are blocked behind their paid subscription, which can be a significant drawback for those seeking a more personalized experience.

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
