Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Picktime
Appointments and classes, free for three people
Picktime books appointments, classes and rooms, and its free plan is unusually complete: three team members, unlimited bookings and the mobile apps included. Paying adds resources, locations and email customisation rather than removing a cap on how much you can work. It suits somebody running sessions who does not want a subscription before the first booking.
Our note
For a small team this is the most generous free plan in the category by a distance. The interface shows its age next to Cal.com, which is the trade you are making for three free seats.
Motion
Builds the day's schedule from the task list
Motion takes a list of tasks with deadlines and durations and writes them into the calendar itself, then rewrites the plan every time a meeting lands or something slips. The pitch is that deciding what to do next is the work you keep redoing, so a tool should do it. It suits somebody juggling a shoot schedule, client deliverables and a publishing calendar in one head. It is priced per seat and there is no free plan, only a trial.
