Scheduling with a phone number attached
OnceHub does the booking page and the routing every scheduler does, then hands the booking a dedicated phone number, so a call that was always going to happen on the phone gets booked and dialled from one record. Free covers one link and one calendar. Past that it is priced per seat, and the routing tier costs about twice the basic one.
Our note
Against Calendly and Cal.com this is the pick only if the phone number or the routing matters, since both of those do plain scheduling for less. On the free tiers the three are close enough that the deciding factor is which one your calendar prefers.
Free appointment booking for a small team
Setmore gives away more than most booking tools charge for: unlimited appointments, a booking page and reminders on a plan that costs nothing. Paying adds recurring bookings, two-way calendar sync and the integrations a busier calendar needs. Its own admin is plainer than the newer tools, which is either restful or dated.
Our note
Free covers unlimited appointments and a booking page, which is more than most free tiers in this category give. The $5 upgrade is mostly two-way calendar sync. The question is whether a double booking has cost you anything yet.
