Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized Juan R. Arroyo Yap Chief Clarity Officer Read full review	I can use the free plan, which includes unlimited monthly meetings and appointments. However, I can only link one calendar.
