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…

SimplyBook.me
Chose SimplyBook.me
I've used pretty much all known tools but there's something or the other missing. Some are complex to use, some are not compatible through the api, some ask for access to our internal databases and some doesn't execute it well. The main reason behind choosing SimplyBook.me was …
Chose SimplyBook.me
I work on Google Calendar when I have to schedule a call myself especially in cases where the client has asked for a call to be scheduled at their convenient time. For those cases where the clients can book appointment for themselves, I use SimplyBook.me. On Google Calendar I …
Chose SimplyBook.me
The interface is not as easy to navigate for administrators and students (clients). Calendly is a bit more complicated to understand and set up than SimplyBook.me and it doesn't link to social media like Instagram or Facebook, which is very useful for us. When Calendly sends …
Chose SimplyBook.me
Almost nobody offers packages, which is why I chose them. But I regret the choice and am still searching.
Chose SimplyBook.me
This software works far better for this specific industry when placing candidates in the medical field. The reason why is client information for companies and candidates is important to provide to each party. Calendly does an okay job at this but the integration could use work. …
Chose SimplyBook.me
SimplyBook offered more features and seemed more secure than the other options we explored. SimplyBook was the only software that offered options for payment, chat, easy API integration, etc. The other software was good and definitely less expensive, but we chose SimplyBook …
Chose SimplyBook.me
As they are messaging services they don't focus on the importance of keeping a well-organized schedule. most of them don't offer any type of in-depth appointment scheduling system. I would always defer back to the paid system if I need to arrange so many meetings for such a …
Chose SimplyBook.me
We really liked the ability to sell complementary products with the booking process compared to the other two products. SimplyBook.Me is the only product we've actually used and so far have been satisfied with the results.
Chose SimplyBook.me
Actually before I find SimplyBook.me I never knew of any online booking system in Taiwan, at last I found this advertisement and after using it for free for 14 days I decide to buy it. The most important reason I bought it because there is a Traditional language that can be …
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 …

I needed a solution that linked nursing, doctor, and other medical practitioners that are candidates or could be candidates for a new position, to get connected to a potential new position. The hard part was coordinating interviews and meetings between both parties for recruiters so this software enabled both parties to easily communicate times that work for them and schedule.

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
  • Schedule delay for beyond a day because there are times when I want to book beyond 3 or 4 days but I have to instead remember to come back before 1 day to set the reminder.
  • Confusing to pay for different features because many times I have found it unclear what features will be available to a paid user and what still will need to be paid for.
  • The interface is not easy, it takes time to adjust to things and find the options you find, navigation becomes relatively easier once you get the hang of the app.

I can use the free plan, which includes
unlimited monthly meetings and appointments. However, I can only link one
