N/A
A tool to make scheduling the next meeting easier with calendar integrations, booking pages, and customization. Trying to schedule a meeting can lead to the hassle of back-and-forth emailing to find a time that works. (“Next month is a no-go, too. Should we try for 3 p.m. CT after the next solar eclipse?”) Also coordinating between time zones and tracking availability across personal and work calendars can be a challenge. TidyCal is presented as an…

Considered Both Products
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 …
TidyCal
Chose TidyCal
In google calendar, we can't do advance booking. First, we have to collaborate on confirming a time suitable for everyone before scheduling a meeting this may lead to time waste for all the parties, this problem can be solved with the help of TidyCal resulting in better time …
Chose TidyCal
Tidycal have the 90% of the features of Calendly but for 29$ it is the best relation price-performance.
Tidycal is very simple to set up and use.Very easy integration with zoom/365/google calendar
If you need to integrate with PayPal it is easy and no extra cost (We do not use)
Chose TidyCal
TidyCal was a cleaner product and integrated well with our existing Google environment. For certain positions, IT for example, it was a clear choice and users on both ends found it good.
Chose TidyCal
I can use the free plan, which includes unlimited monthly meetings and appointments. However, I can only link one calendar. The free plan calendar supports Google Calendar and Office 365
Chose TidyCal
Because TidyCal has more features, more user friendly and no issues with integration or worries about any errors or overlaps that might occur. On top of that, knowing that more features will come into play in the future, it is truly an amazing application that helps in my line …
Chose TidyCal
I did not select TidyCal. Ultimately I selected Appointlet because I found the interface easier to work with. They also had a very generous free program and allowed you to take payments. From what I've seen it doesn't seem like you can easily take payments directly through …

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.

Maybe if you are needing a large enterprise solution you may need something else but we have found that it fits all of needs as a 32 people team. It has worked flawlessly since we installed it. I keep focusing on this but it is a 30 min set up and that’s it.

Cons
  • 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.

  • There is a learning curve it takes some time for new user to understand the process.
  • UI can be made attractive.
  • Integration with other video conference tools like Amazon's chime

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.

I can use the free plan, which includes
unlimited monthly meetings and appointments. However, I can only link one
calendar. The free plan calendar supports Google Calendar and Office 365
calendar integration. The software has been tried and tested by numerous employees from different backgrounds in our organizations. The interface was a hit with the majority of them, and they found it to be incredibly useful.
