Calendly vs Setmore

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.

Setmore is a powerful appointment scheduling solution tailored to businesses and teams. It enables instant email confirmations, SMS reminders, and automated booking alerts for both staff and clients, effectively reducing no-shows and administrative overhead. 

The platform supports up to 4 staff calendars under its free plan, while Pro upgrades unlock advanced features like Zoom integration, two-way calendar syncing, and SMS notifications. 

Custom booking pages are provided, and customers can manage appointment time, display services, and pay through integrated gateways like Square and PayPal.
