I love how easy it is to use and the fact I can set up parameters to limit days and times. > > **Cons**: The only thing I do not care for on the unpaid version of Calendly is the fact I can only have one meeting type. > > I love Calendly.

A champion for streamlining virtual meetings planning experience." — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *25 June 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Calendly has played a key role in our experience of transitioning from mainly physical meetings to virtual meetings, giving an easy experience when planing and scheduling our virtual meetings. It has helped us to streamline and simplify scheduling of our virtual meetings which help us to easily set aside time for our regular meeting discussions. With Calendly, it has been easy to take charge of our calendar activities which allows us to find available time for scheduling new meetings. The user interface of Calendly is user-friendly and we are able to easily navigate it through when setting up new schedules and accessing the existing ones. It also offers very effective reminder notification features which keep us up to speed with upcoming new schedules so that we don't forget to attend the meetings. Calendly's ease of integration with multiple of our conferencing products allows us to have just one meeting scheduling tool for all our meetings even though we hold them on different products. > > **Cons**: We have not seen any issues with Calendly so far and we have not had anything to dislike. Calendly has been helping us to solve the needs we brought it to solve and we have been satisfied with the experience it has given us. There has honestly been nothing to dislike or hate about Calendly. > > Calendly has helped us to have a smooth transition and make the most of our virtual meetings by making it easy for us to plan and schedule the meetings. We usually have regular team meetings to discuss our design projects and get updates and Calendly has made it easy for us to plan and set time for these meetings. It also allows us to give our clients an easy way to book appointments and schedule meetings for us to discuss our design deals. With Calendly, we have been able to do away with the inconveniences of having multiple meetings scheduled at the same time by making sure that we check the existing schedules on our calendar before going ahead and creating new schedules. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Great platform\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tyla** | *18 June 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Calendly is easy to set up to use for both the admin and client. Booking is simple and it only takes a few steps to set an appointment. > > **Cons**: You can’t customize it as to make it your own much as other platforms but it gets the job done overall. > > It’s great using calendly\! This platform is hassle free and you can still do so much with it for little to nothing cost. ----- ### "Simple scheduling with real operational impact is the definition of Calendly" — 5.0/5 > **Samara Zuri** | *29 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The biggest advantage has been how effectively Calendly has eliminated scheduling friction. It has completely removed the endless back and forth emails that usually come with finding suitable meeting times by allowing our teams, clients and partners to book directly based on our real time availability. In a role where coordinating project reviews, budget discussions, governance meetings and stakeholder updates happen constantly, this automation has created incredible efficiency. Its sync with Google Calendar and Outlook ensures our schedules reflect actual workload and prevent overlapping bookings. We also appreciate how clean and uncluttered the platform is. Setting up availability, sharing booking links and managing schedules is straightforward and our clients have found it equally easy to book meetings without confusion . The onboarding experience was also excellent. Calendly's customer support team was responsive throughout the deployment and helped our team adopt features quickly across the business. > > **Cons**: After using Calendly for 3years now, we genuinely have very little to criticize. The platform has been reliable and stable throughout our usage and we haven't experienced notable glitches or disruptions. It has consistently helped us to manage scheduling efficiently and remove administrative burden. At this point, it feels less like a scheduling tool and more like a personal assistant that quietly handles coordination in the background so our teams can stay focused on delivering IT projects. > > Calendly has become one of the tools that quietly delivers major operational value. We introduced it to simplify how meetings are planned across project teams, finance functions, leadership, clients and external stakeholders, and it has improved how we manage time and coordination. Instead of spending unnecessary effort arranging calendars and confirming availability, we now have a more efficient and predictable scheduling process that keeps projects moving and helps everyone stay aligned. The result has been better meeting attendance, faster decision cycles, fewer scheduling conflicts and more time spent on execution and financial oversight rather than administration. ----- Page: 1 / 167\ 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
