Calendly vs Appointy

Calendly is a cloud-based scheduling automation platform that eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails by enabling users to share their availability via personalized scheduling links.

Invitees simply select a convenient time, which is then automatically added to integrated calendars (such as Google, Outlook, Office 365, or iCloud) while respecting the privacy of existing appointments.

Offering freemium access for individuals and tiered premium plans for professionals, teams, and enterprises, Calendly includes support for varied meeting types (“Event Types”), buffer and notice times, and customizable booking rules.

Appointy is a versatile scheduling platform popular in service-based industries. It offers online booking pages, calendar sync (Google, Outlook, iCal), SMS/email reminders, resource and multi-location management, and integrations with social media, payment gateways, and Zapier.

You can generate gift certificates, handle multiple services, and manage client workflows. It includes a free plan and scalable tiers. Limitations include Appointy branding on lower plans and premium pricing for advanced customization and marketing features.
