What do you like best about Cal.com?

The free support. I've had an issue, and one of the team sent me a screen record in which he re-preduced the issue and show me what I missed and explained how it works. Which was amazing!

Not to mention the neat interface and everything just works together in a perfectly integrated piece of software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

The fact that they have a plugin system (Apps) is amazing, yet there are, relatively, a small number of Apps. There are apps that will cover almost all the essential use cases though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cal.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrating my Google Calendar, MacOS Calendar, and Gmail. Everything is automated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

I run a small agency and have been recommending your services to my clients. However, I have been waiting for support for five days without a response.

This delay is quite disappointing, as the ability to provide timely support to potential clients is often a key indicator of success in converting new customers.

I hope this issue can be addressed promptly, as I value the potential of your platform and would like to continue recommending it with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cal.com?

I really like that its completely free, and the design is really nice to look at. The flexibility and intuitiveness of the product also allows me to have a likeable degree of control over my events and schedule, and the fact that I can trigger webhooks with the system allows me to incorporate it with other applications. Whenever I'm facing issues, the customer support will always get back to me within the day itself, and the issues I face is usually resolved as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

I guess the only thing I dislike is the fact that some details in the form for my customers to book is locked to being required to be filled up, which in some cases I don't really need. E.g. Name, Email, and I think contact details are required as well, I know most cases we do need these details, but it would be nice if I can have the option to remove them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cal.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly my clients whenever they want to schedule a meeting with me they would just text me about it and all I have to do is just give them a link and they have the freedom to choose which day/time they want. I've also helped some of my client to integrate cal.com with their own existing pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cal.com?

Their booking UX is really well designed, and it is cheaper per-user than Calendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

Their core problem is that they are so focused on their own UX that they are not paying attention to the UX that 99% of people that interact with them will use: the calendar invite. It's not customizable at all, is super-basic, and looks terrible on Microsoft 365. They want to be used by businesses, but the experience they give my customers is really bad, and has caused more problems than it solves.

Their focus on open source means they leave it to other people to solve their problems for them, and it shows. Customer support has not been responsive, and fixes my well-documented issues have been pushed out for 4 releases, without so much as a plan to fix them.

They also will not fix their booking UI snippet integration so it fills 100% of its container at all times, meaning my website is at the mercy of their Tailwind implementation.

This product has a long way to go before it can compete with Calendly or Chili Piper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cal.com?

This service takes the low bar set by the "free" or entry tiers of competing services and goes so far above, it's out of sight. Cal.com can be self-hosted (amazing), but even without doing so, their free, hosted plan does everything you would need for basic calendaring/availability-based scheduling. It doesn't feel like anything is limited. Customer support is friendly and helpful (even to free users). Easy to implement with several calendards to create combined availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

Only room for improvement, in my opinion, is more clarity on custom fields that are end-user facing. The options are all there, and the default layout is sufficient for most, but I would be a little confused with making customizations to them, as the UI shows all options for various different user-facing screens. It's not obvious how to show certain fields on certain end-user pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cal.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is addressing my needs for combining my availability from multiple calendars, and providing a public page with a custom URL, with the ability to create several different types of appointments, all for free. Where other platforms would heavily restrict you on free/entry level plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cal.com?

Leaving a 5-star review here is a no-brainer: it integrates seamlessly with my existing calendars to prevent double bookings, gives me friendly, memorable links to share with people, all while streamlining my other workflows and with an incredible pricing model at a fraction of the costs of the competitors.

Combine this with their talented team led by their meme-posting CEO Peer and you’ve got a winner. I am eternally grateful for this tool and my decision to switch to it from Calendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

Nothing at all. I've thought long and hard about this and I dislike nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cal.com?

I like the idea of the scheudling and Open technique of the scheduleing methods being used for the platform is a great feature that it has for the opportunity that it presents for the user usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

I think more features compared to its competitors needs mor functionality and more attributes should be added to give the user more choices and better feel and look of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cal.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its helping to solve scheduling and meeting with schduling and helping to keep track of the calendars that it provides that the user uses and helps you keep track of when there is open to be booked and to know the flow of things within the scheduling. It ensures that a person is never overbooked and provides you the flexiability to keep things in a orderly condition. You can share your links and sets zoom meetings that are to be scheduled and set the location of the meeting as well in the country that the user provides. A timer and connection with others is also a usable feature of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cal.com?

Upsides: Great workflow tools, attentione to detail, features such as "impersonate team member" to make updates on their behalf as admin are super helpful. Great customisation options. Customer service is epic Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

Downsides: Not yet fully integrated on Zapier (ie. only triggers no actions) and with other payment platforms outside of Stripe and Paypal. Really looking forward to updates that include other payment gateways more commonly used elswehere in the world ie Paystack, Flutterwave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cal.com?

We moved from the incumbent to Cal.com 1.5y ago for our sales and marketing efforts because the design is much better, and we wanted prospects to have a better experience.

After moving, we realized there were a lot of useful hidden features, my favorite being the ability to create links that combine the availability of multiple people, by doing cal.com/name1+name2+name3. This is a lifesaver when you would otherwise have to maintain 30+ links to include all permutations of client success and engineering across all timezones.

Onbaording took less than 5 minutes, and support responded pretty much instantly, so we never looked back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cal.com?

Not much outside of my frustration about not being able to use cal.ai with everyone because it's not fully socially acceptable, which is a shame because having an AI schedule calls makes complete sense and saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cal.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automatically scheduling calls with prospects, teammates, partners and clients, and routing calls to the right person(s). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
