Calendly Alternative
All the scheduling power of Calendly, with more flexibility and better pricing.
Calendly revolutionized online scheduling when it launched, making it easy for anyone to share their availability. However, as Calendly has grown, so have its prices—and many users find themselves paying for features they don't need. SchedulingKit offers the same intuitive experience with a more generous free tier, transparent pricing, and features like open-source access that Calendly doesn't offer. Whether you're a solo professional or a growing team, switching to SchedulingKit means more features for less money.

Switching from Calendly? FAQs
Common questions from users considering the switch.
Can I import my Calendly event types?
Yes! While there's no direct import, recreating your event types takes just minutes. Most Calendly settings map 1:1 to SchedulingKit, and our migration guide walks you through each step.
Does SchedulingKit have the same integrations as Calendly?
SchedulingKit integrates with all major calendars (Google, Outlook, iCal), video conferencing tools (Zoom, Teams, Meet), and payment processors (Stripe, PayPal). We also offer API access for custom integrations.
What about Calendly Routing forms?
SchedulingKit offers similar functionality through our intake forms and conditional logic. You can route leads to the right team member based on their answers.
Is the transition difficult for my team?
Not at all. SchedulingKit's interface is intuitive and similar enough that most Calendly users feel at home immediately. We also offer onboarding support to ensure a smooth transition.
Can I keep my same booking URL?
You can set up a custom subdomain (yourcompany.schedulingkit.com) or use your own domain. While the exact Calendly URL can't transfer, you can redirect it to your new booking page.
Our Verdict
If you're happy paying premium prices for Calendly's brand recognition, it's a solid tool. But if you want the same functionality at 40-60% lower cost—plus open-source flexibility—SchedulingKit is the smarter choice for cost-conscious teams.
