Appointy vs. Calendly

Appointy is good for small businesses looking to outsource some admin work and get appointment bookings done online, especially if you don't have a huge client base. You can input the individual client's name in the system so it helps to personalize your services. It's not so suitable for larger companies. It's a good price for small businesses. Sometimes the design can be a bit clunky and the user interface isn't perfect, but for the price and google integration it's well worth it.

It's well suited for music students' lessons. It's well suited for online coaching, primarily through places like Zoom and more. It helps simplify things for your clients, lets you program your schedule, and allows it all to go automatically! If you are working with a senior population, it may be a little tricky for them to sign up and then really hard for them to cancel lessons. There isn't a way to go to the site and cancel. You have to pull up the confirmed email and cancel from there, but people can lose emails.

• Sales. Easy for people to book so less back and forth.
• Managed access. Easy for me to offer people the "right kind" of slot - I have like 5 hidden event-types I share only with certain people so they can access different availability.
• Collaborative events! Some of us frequently meet in pairs or groups, e.g., one of our regional leaders and I have a shared link we can send out to people to find a time that works for all of us. LOVE this.

• need some way at booking to not book if the email address is incorrect (not sure how technology can do this but there must be a way)
• not sure about how it would integrate with other technology we have

• If you have more than one company, you cannot use one account. This is the most difficult hurdle to me but still one I am willing to jump over considering all the benefits of Calendly.
• Adding custom color ability on event types. Example: One of my companies doesn't use any of the color choices. I would like to be able to color code those to my brand.
• Brand/Asset kit would be a wonderful addition. In profile settings, have a place to upload brand logo, assets, and brand color codes.

For all reasons like workflows, UI, and the way Calendly keeps all of us engaged through the Collective forum. It's indeed undeniable that no other product covers all business needs like Calendly does. On the other side, this has also reduced the workload by enabling us to focus more on other tasks for the day

Calendly is extremely easy to use for selecting times and days for meetings. From my end, it's very easy to indicate the days and times that I am available for meetings. I have used other scheduling products, but Calendly has the smoothest way of operating. I highly recommend it for scheduling meetings

There is a lot of support for Calendly. Whenever I have had issues navigating through it, especially as a new user, I found multiple support on the web addressing my questions or concerns. There is a lot of in app informative notes accessible to users to navigate through Calendly when needed.

We didn't evaluate any other products as we weren't actively looking for such a product. This is a product that is not directly part of our core business but proved to be a good match with an issue that we unknowingly had. Only after an enthusiast colleague showed the demo did we find out that there was an issue that many colleagues experienced.

Everything I've said previously. It takes me entirely out of the loop of coordinating people's schedules, sending invites, booking time, ensuring they get a Zoom invite, etc. It does everything while I do next to nothing, which is as it should be. As a team of one, my time should be spent doing what I do best and getting paid to do: coaching, teaching, consulting, speaking, writing, and creating training content and workshops.

• It made me automate my mangement a lot.
• Made work of my 15 staff so easy that they can now focus on their other more important works. productivity of staff is increased by 40%.
• Setting reminders ensures you don't miss deadlines.

• Over 300% as of last year. We had done a case study which was phenomenal because even I didn't know the numbers were that huge until we finally put pen to paper.
• Time!! I'm in the money business and you know Time is Money if you're in the same industry.
• Affordability. It doesn't break the bank for anyone - having an affordable product along with it being user friendly is a no brainer.
