Booking pages with no cap on the free plan
Appointlet puts a booking page in front of your calendar and gets out of the way. The free plan books unlimited meetings, which is rarer than it sounds among scheduling tools that count them. Paying buys reminders, custom branding and the integrations, and it is charged per member rather than per booking.
Our note
Appointlet is the answer when the only thing you need is a link that books a meeting. It has been quietly doing that for years and costs nothing, which is worth more than the features it lacks.
A booking page that reads your calendar
YouCanBookMe puts a bookable page in front of a calendar you already keep, and the customisation goes further than the category norm: the booking form, the confirmation email and the page itself are all editable. Free accounts connect one calendar, which is the constraint that decides most upgrades. Teams are priced per member rather than per booking.
Our note
Charged per member where Acuity charges per tier, which is what decides it for a team. One calendar is free, so a solo freelancer never has to pay. A group of five should do the arithmetic both ways before committing.
