Migrate from Cal.com
to SchedulingKit
A practical guide to moving from Cal.com to SchedulingKit: what you recreate by hand, what you reconnect, and what stays in Cal.com. There is no one-click migration. Event types and integrations are recreated by hand; there is no import from Cal.com.
Migrating from Cal.com to SchedulingKit takes about 20-40 minutes. This step-by-step guide covers data export, account setup, and going live. See how the two compare in our Cal.com alternative breakdown.
What Transfers
Can Be Transferred
- Services, durations and prices (recreated by hand)
- Staff and working hours (staff re-invited, hours re-entered)
- Calendar connections: Google, Outlook/Microsoft 365, Apple iCloud (reconnect)
- Video links: Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet (reconnect)
- Payment processor: Stripe, PayPal or Square (reconnect, Standard and above)
- Client contact list (keep your Cal.com export for reference; SchedulingKit creates records as clients book, and you can add key clients one at a time on Standard and above)
Cannot Be Transferred
- Past appointment history from Cal.com
- Upcoming appointments already booked in Cal.com (they stay there unless you re-enter them)
- Client notes and profile fields (no CSV import)
- Payment and invoice history
- Cal.com workflows and apps
- Self-hosted customizations
Migration Steps
Follow these steps to complete your migration in 20-40 minutes
Export or Record Your Cal.com Setup
Note each event type, availability schedule, routing and workflow you use, and export bookings if you need a record. SchedulingKit has no import tool and no CSV client import. Your export is for your own records: you'll use it to recreate services, check nothing is missed and email clients your new link.
💡 Tips:
- •Screenshot each service's duration, price and settings
- •List the upcoming appointments already booked in Cal.com
- •Save your client contact list for your announcement email
Create Your SchedulingKit Account and Choose a Plan
Sign up free, then pick the plan that matches what you use in Cal.com. Standard ($12 per seat per month) adds online payments, SMS reminders, Workflows, reviews and the client portal; Pro ($20) adds Round Robin and Collective scheduling, recurring bookings, packages, gift cards, Zapier and the API. The Free plan covers one team member and one calendar connection.
💡 Tips:
- •Paid plans start with a 14-day trial
- •Check which features you rely on before choosing a plan
Recreate Your Services
Create each service by hand with its duration, price and location, and choose One-on-One or Group (with a capacity). Set the cancellation deadline and minimum notice clients must respect when they reschedule or cancel.
💡 Tips:
- •Start with your most-booked service
- •Set reminder timing per service
Add Staff, Hours and Calendars
Invite team members, set each person's working hours and days off (per location if you have several), and connect Google, Outlook or Apple iCloud calendars so busy times block availability. Connect Zoom or Microsoft Teams, or use Google Meet through Google Calendar, for virtual appointments.
💡 Tips:
- •Connect calendars before sharing your link to avoid double-bookings
- •Clients can pick a team member or Any Available
Test, Switch Links and Run Both Tools in Parallel
Make a test booking end to end, including payment and reminders. Then replace your Cal.com links with your SchedulingKit link, inline embed, popup widget or button link, and email regular clients the new link. Keep Cal.com active until the appointments already booked there are finished, then cancel.
💡 Tips:
- •Update your website, email signature, Google Business Profile and social links
- •Don't cancel Cal.com until its last booked appointment has passed
