Booking pages with no cap on the free plan
Appointlet's free plan has no cap on bookings at all, with paid plans from $9, another no-commitment way to start before paying anything once.
Booking pages with a real free tier
Bookafy leads with a genuinely usable free tier, paid plans from $7, a subscription for anybody not ready to commit to TidyCal's one-time fee yet.
Unlimited bookings on the free plan
Koalendar also keeps bookings unlimited on its free plan, then charges $6.99 a month rather than TidyCal's single one-time payment.
Free appointment booking for a small team
Setmore gives a small team unlimited free bookings rather than just one person, with a $5 monthly plan against TidyCal's one-time fee.
Booking pages with intake forms
Acuity Scheduling adds real intake forms to the booking flow, from $16, an ongoing subscription rather than TidyCal's single payment.
Booking and payments in one account
Square Appointments processes the payment in the same account as the booking, free to start and $49 for a team, a different job than TidyCal's plain calendar link.
A booking page that reads your own calendar
Calendly runs on a subscription from $10 rather than TidyCal's one-time fee, and is the one built for deep CRM routing and enterprise controls a team might need.
Open-source scheduling you can host yourself
Cal.com is open source and can be self-hosted instead of paid for at all, with a hosted plan from $12 for anybody who would rather not run a server.
