Calendly vs Reservio

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.

Reservio is a free-first scheduling tool designed for service providers and small businesses. It centrally manages appointments, group events, and staff shifts through its online calendar.

Additional features include a built-in POS system, customer database with loyalty tools, branded booking websites, and automated SMS/email reminders to minimize no-shows.

Reservations integrate with Google Calendar, iCal, and website widgets, making booking seamless across channels. Its Enterprise version scales to multi-location organizations, with enhanced client and marketing capabilities.
