They are the pioneer in this space. Simple to use and does reduce the overhead of back and froth of scheduling meetings especially with strangers and prospects. > > **Cons**: Rescheduling and level of control is not similar to say Outlook. It does not show the exact contact information of the prime user. > > I like Calendly for its features, simplicity and innovative nature. I wonder why no one thought about it before. ----- ### "Simple To Use Scheduling Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *06 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Calendly is how easy it is to schedule meetings. Instead of going back and forth through email trying to find a mutually available time, I can simply share my scheduling link and allow prospects, customers, or business partners to book directly into my calendar. The integration with calendars such as Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar helps prevent double bookings and ensures availability is always up to date. As someone working in sales and business development, Calendly has significantly reduced administrative work and made scheduling discovery calls, partner meetings, and follow-up conversations much more efficient. > > **Cons**: I wish there was a way to customize the booking/scheduling page a little bit better. So this way it could keep the meetings scheduled by the prospect as relevant as possible. > > I've been using Calendly consistently for awhile now. In my sales development role, I frequently use Calendly to schedule discovery calls, partner meetings, product discussions, and follow-up conversations with prospects across multiple time zones. The platform removes much of the friction from the scheduling process and creates a more professional experience for both internal teams and external contacts. The automatic calendar synchronization, reminders, and booking workflows help reduce no-shows and save valuable time. For anyone who regularly schedules meetings, Calendly provides a simple, reliable, and highly effective solution. ----- ### "Great for Simple Scheduling, Limited for Flexibility" — 3.0/5 > **Natalia** | *02 October 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It removes endless back-and-forth emails. The integration with calendars works smoothly and the interface is clean, so even non-tech contacts understand it quickly. For a free tool, it does exactly what it promises: makes scheduling frictionless. > > **Cons**: The free tier feels overly restrictive. You can’t classify different meeting types well, and customizing time durations is clunky. If your scheduling needs go beyond the basic, you quickly hit a paywall. > > Overall, Calendly has been reliable and simple to use. It saves time and makes scheduling painless, but the limitations of the free version mean it works best for very straightforward use cases. For more nuanced scheduling or professional branding, you inevitably need to upgrade. ----- ### "Best planner out there" — 5.0/5 > **Byron** | *10 March 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Google Calendar syncing finally works. It sends out the Zoom meeting links and they mostly work (which is a miracle). I am just glad that I do not have to hand enter every invitation anymore. > > **Cons**: I do not like that it does not allow easy management of multiple separate business accounts under one account profile without going crazy. It is far better than that last piece of software I used which caused me to merge two different clients together by accident because both client names were the same. This caused quite the circus. > > It stops me from having to chase down a student or client via email for 3-4 days to find 10 minutes to discuss anything. All of the information regarding meetings etc, gets placed into my CRM automatically, no additional steps required. It prevents me from being double booked while I am away from the office. The workshops are kept organized even though the mobile version of the software has some weird design choices. ----- ### "Simple and easy booking tool" — 5.0/5 > **Erica** | *31 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: With Calendly I created the screening questions and the system automatically redirected my high value prospects to my priority booking page while sending basic ones to pre recorded webinars. > > **Cons**: During the last step of checkout for paid consultation Stripe payment integration sometimes loses connection. ----- Page: 1 / 166\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/148036/calendly?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/148036/calendly) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
