Calendly vs. Timely

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.

Timely is well suited for organizing complex projects that require communication, transparency, data access, and monitoring tasks. It also helps with making sure everyone knows the small and day-to-day tasks required from each one, and not only the big picture of the project. In complex projects, it is easy to become frustrated by the amount of work that still needs to be done. Timely breaks it into smaller parts.

• 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.

• Memory app is certainly useful for Timely. It helps guide me to log time.
• Multiple platform support, so I could enter my time on my phone, and on laptops.
• Timely has app integration, the most useful app is Microsoft Office365. I can track my time according to my calendar.

• 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.

• I really can't think of improvements so far
• Because, considering the size of our projects, it perfectly matches our expectations.

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

For admin its not great but for the team it is fairly straight forward I think. The reports are clunky at times, if I have something pulled up on a tab then go into a different tab and back into the Timely tab, whatever I had up is gone, etc.

Incentivized

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.

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.

Timely does not provide recurring event tracking.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Helps us stay in budget and make more money that way
• Helps us see our actual time and can now charge new clients accordingly
