TidyCal vs. YouCanBookMe

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.

YouCanBook.Me has made it really easy to schedule calls with applicants and with team members scattered across the world. We use it a lot to schedule follow up calls with potential leads from conferences and other recruiting events, which has been really key in converting leads from those events, and we direct applicants for our internship and staff positions to YouCanBook.Me to schedule interviews. We also use it to schedule calls with team members internationally. It is most useful for scheduling a call between two participants.

Incentivized

• The ability to create multiple booking types and personalize them
• The integration of Zoom and payment types
• The ability to create scheduling polls for group meetings

Incentivized

• Allows a prospect flexibility in choosing a time to meet
• Saves me a lot of time with followup phone calls to book a spot
• I can choose the times I am available for each day
• If I block off time in my Outlook calendar, it blocks it off in YouCanBook.Me as well, so if there is a one-off time I cannot meet, I can just block it in my calendar instead of going into my YouCanBook.Me account

Incentivized

• 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

• We loved the old version of youcanbook.me. Once they updated the site and functionality, we hated it. We kept reverting back to the old version, but now we cannot use the old version anymore. The new version has made it much slower to set up a new profile and fill in all of the reminders.
• If they made it faster to populate a new profile by limiting repetition, that'd be awesome. We have to edit the titles of calendar events, emails to us, emails to participants, etc.
• Working with Google calendar is sometimes frustrating, but they've recently updated it to make it easier for us to duplicate calendar events. Youcanbook.me syncs with Google calendar, so making all of the calendar events set to "Free" (previously, "Available") is pretty annoying.

Usability is ridiculously easy.

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.

Youcanbook.me is a pretty unique service, but some others have come up since we started using it in 2015. There´s some competition like simply book or roomzilla, but he haven´t considered them because they aren't as cost-effective or simply haven't found a need to do it yet. Folk at youcanbookme have given us great user support and have many benefits for the educational sector, which make it hard for competition because we are pretty happy with their service :)

• It cut my Scheduling time by at least 50%.
• It impresses my clients and saves them time.
• It's the reason some of my clients end up hiring me.

Incentivized

• This has saved me untold hours of telephone tag and email wars by allowing people to self-serve. Time is the most valuable commodity.
• The reminder system also saves time.
• The best is that, once it's set up, it doesn't require regular maintenance unless my products or meeting types change.
