I don’t understand all the positive… I don’t understand all the positive reviews? It’s a pain in the ass. It is slower than just sending someone an email with your availability, it adds work and complexity to an otherwise simple task. It is anti-productive - why are people using it? People giving it positive reviews, why? Is it actually saving you any time?

Really great tool Really great tool. I have seen a massive increase in attendance for meetings having started putting the responsibility on clients to book it in themselves through Calendly rather than me messing around back and forth with emails. Plus the free trial is actually genuinely a free trial. Not the usual deceptive business practises hoping I forget to cancel. Just an honest free trial, excellent. I also used support as I was having trouble with the event calendar set up. They were quick to answer on live chat and sorted the problem straight away. Great tool and I will likely sign up over the next few weeks.

Did not add value, caused much pain. I signed up for a free trial at the request of our recruiters. First ding: it required a connection to my Google Calendar to start the trial. Despite requiring this, it didn't actually use *any* of the information in the calendar to actually help - it didn't apply my timezone - it didn't pick up any current meetings to block out time Second ding: Changing the timezone of the meeting I set up was *deeply* non-obvious. Third ding: I have had *incessant* spam emails from them ever since signing up for the trial. Would not use in the future, even if you paid me - literally a completely useless tool.

We are coming back! We left because we wanted a product that was already in one of our paid subscriptions. We are coming back! These products could not deliver what Calendly does: Teams Bookings Google Bookings Zoho CRM Bookings Calendly: Easy to book a meeting with multiple employees where the calendars are all read correctly. Easy to edit multiple invite templates at once. Easy to clone existing templates to make new templates. Not tied in to the use of other Microsoft or Google products in a way that limits use. Works well with Google and other products where it was necessary (online meeting scheduling).

It can be used for basic things It can be used for basic things, but for more serious use it lacks some important features or simply doesn't work as expected. E.g. for sms notifications the guest reconfirmation only works once per guest address, you can't book a meeting from the admin page, etc. The chat support is nothing but a basic AI chatbot. All in all it doesn't cost much, the sms notifications make it worth the price, but it could be much better.
