Considered Both Products
Bookafy
Chose Bookafy
Bookafy is more advanced and has more features that I need comparing to these other brands. Calendly is very basic while Bookfy offers more robust features.
Chose Bookafy
The main decision for Bookafy was influenced by the lifetime deal and Zoom integration. Bookafy doesn't embed as well as Calendly. It also doesn't have the ability to set up hidden meetings. Meetfox is all through a browser which is convenient for that not tech savvy but it …
Chose Bookafy
I have used both Bookafy and Calendly and they both honestly helped to streamline the booking process and save us a lot of time. That being said Bookafy is great because it automates scheduling, and reminders and integrates with other software. It also allows customers to …
Chose Bookafy
I used Calendly before and I like the Bookafy UI better... Also, we like the price structure more for what we get with Bookafy.
OnceHub
Chose OnceHub
Calendly is definitely the bootstrapped option. ScheduleOnce is for serious businesses looking to automate & build a sales team.
Chose OnceHub
ScheduleOnce is the only platform that offered an easy way to send text messages to clients. I appreciated the ease of adding a few questions to qualify potential clients prior to getting onto a call with them. Easy to use and the customer service experience I have received has …
Chose OnceHub
Acuity is great. I really liked it but once I started using Zoom for sales consultations. I felt that ScheduleOnce did a much better job of sending a link, reminding them of their call, and following up with missed calls. Nothing against Acuity, I just felt that ScheduleOnce …
Chose OnceHub
Calendly is very simple, and fine for one person. Another option, Get Omnify, does very well for brick and mortar businesses and has some advanced features, but at the time there was nothing else that was as capable as ScheduleOnce, which is why we chose it, and why the …
Chose OnceHub
ScheduleOnce user interface and set up was easier than in Calendly. Also ScheduleOnce was able to connect to my iCloud calendar - most other similar applications could not do this (also better pricing for my needs).
Chose OnceHub
I thought Calendly looked solid as well. Both are easy to use and are attractive visually, I found ScheduleOnce to be a bit more robust and had more features. ScheduleOnce is better for a multi-person business in my view, but I can see why a solopreneur would go with …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Bookafy works great to send potential clients your available times for meetings. They can schedule the meetings in less than 1 minute. They get an email notification confirming the appointment and later on, a text message with reminders, just before the event.

For all things bookings, including meetings, sales calls, events, and client onboarding, ScheduleOnce is the dominant software hands down. For shorter forms, such as quizzes and exercises on an online course, FormOnce is the far superior sibling as it's able to accommodate all needs, size, length, and customization.

Cons
  • It can be difficult with the back and forth of rescheduling meetings
  • You have to remember to manually block off time on your calendar
  • The calendar tab can be confusing at times
Read full review
  • I really wish I could put tracking pixels (i.e. AdWords conversion pixels) on the booking thank you pages. Having to direct to a thank you page on another platform is kind of a pain.
  • The Salesforce connector pricing is a bit steep.
  • Basic live chat capabilities would be awesome. Implementing a live chat widget alongside the ScheduleOnce widget can be a bit cluttered design wise.

They would not prorate a refund - I'm just out the money for services I have not used. To me, that is the WORST POSSIBLE customer service ever.

The main decision for Bookafy was influenced by the lifetime deal and Zoom integration. Bookafy doesn't embed as well as Calendly. It also doesn't have the ability to set up hidden meetings. MeetFox is all through a browser which is convenient for that not tech savvy but it lacked security features. Calendly feels more intuitive and easier to set up. I didn't want to keep paying monthly.
