What do you like best about zcal?

The fact that you can record a short video to add to your calendars is AMAZING! It takes the booking experience to another level for anyone who schedules a call with you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

I wish they integrated with more automation tools besides only Zapier, like Make.com, Relay.app, or other automation tools on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is zcal solving and how is that benefiting you?

ZCal allows AMAZING personalization options when wanting to schedule with anyone via email. It allows you to natively post available times that connect to your calendar for someone to book a timeslot right into the email conversation you may be having with anyone. They give you access to the majority of their features for FREE, but if you decide to upgrade, they charge less than $8, which is EXTREMELY affordable compared to their competitors (Calendly, Acuity, etc).

zcal Overview

What is zcal?

zcal is a design-focused scheduling tool that makes it easy to create beautiful scheduling pages. Let’s face it - sending someone a Calendly link is often seen as impersonal, if not outright disrespectful. As a potential customer, being asked to fill out a generic, cookie-cutter scheduling page can feel cold and transactional. Worse, the uninspired design reflects poorly on your business - suggesting a disregard for customer experience and a poor eye for design. It's time there was a better way to schedule - one that makes scheduling pages beautiful and on-brand. Meet zcal. zcal's is the only scheduling tool that offers Typeform-level customization and polish. Our beautiful scheduling pages help increase booking rates and reduce no shows.

What do you like best about zcal?

Its free tier is very full featured: multiple distinct event links, scheduling polls (aka "Doodles"), deep customizability, etc. It gives you basically everything in Calendly, but for free.

I probably have 30 distinct scheduling links to help me manage my open calendar and professional work.

I have a paid account (pretty cheap) just so I can support the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

There are a few features I miss from expensive tools (like Motion) that I need to work around:

(1) Scheduling links with multiple time options.

(2) Native support for phone calls (where the person scheduling is prompted for their phone number) but that's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is zcal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have an opent calendar. That means people are booking on my calendar from Linkedin, from various networking communities, from referrals, from volunteer work...and even my professional work (coaching). I need an easy way for people who schedule and I need a short, memorable, professional, easily typed link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about zcal?

In what I have been using this platform, I have liked the ease of use with each of the tools for scheduling meetings being more personalized and presenting a better structured schedule in each agenda of the day without missing important meetings or events. Its price is really economical, providing great benefits in terms of time and organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

Maybe they just have to improve in the area of customer response that is a little faster to solve the questions or failures that sometimes arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is zcal solving and how is that benefiting you?

It keeps my work rhythm much more organized, having a clarity of the times that I can be free from meetings or events to make way for other tasks of my daily work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about zcal?

I like the gifs, that help me add an extra level or personalization to to my outreach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

It would be nice of the zcal homepage had a "docs" section, where I could see in one place all of the functionality of zcal without the marketing framing of the home page. I'm a technical person, and I like to read technical information on other software products that I use for business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is clean and easy to understand and most things are not hidden behind a paywall which is always great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could have more features, especially ones that could be integrated into CRM like Hubspot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fabulous features in free tier other providers like Calendly charge for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

No spam protection and nothing planned. I get 10+ spam meeting registrations EACH day from my demo scheduler and I can't deal with losing those times and manually deleting the events as a daily task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is zcal solving and how is that benefiting you?

It does a great job at integrating with Google calendar and offers a clean, user friendly interface for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about zcal?

This calendaring app has got to be my favorite so far. You can customize your header, your instructions, attach tracking for more than one calendar and sorts of other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

It takes a little getting used to, but because you can do more right from the start for free, it is actually more intuitive than it's top competitor in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is zcal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can add multiple calendars to correctly track and display my availability, AND I can have more than one calendar (instead of just one) for people to book from. So, no more trying to send people useless 30-min booking links when they need an hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about zcal?

Very straight-forward tool,

easy to set up and administer,

referencing multiple source calendars(work and personal) for availability is a big plus

personalization with picture and video makes the landing page look fresh and creative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

there is a commercial version coming out soon. Not sure what exactly the additional features will be since the existing offering is a perfect fit for users who have a basic Google Workspace subscription(which doesn't include Calendar Appointments) and who don't want to pay for Calendly or similar complex solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is zcal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a simple solution to present clients with my availability where it takes a couple of clicks to book a meeting. Zcal solves exactly this problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about zcal?

My favorite thing about zcal is the UI. I used to be an avid Doodle user, but after having to set up so many Doodle polls where I had to click each 30minute time slot, and users had to scroll and scroll, I knew there had to be a better alternative. A friend told me to try zcal, so I checked it out. As the scheduler, to set up the time slots is super easy, you just click and drag! And as the attendee, to select their availability, they're able to click and drag to select their availability. It's much easier to use than Doodle. And the best part is, no ads! Very clean UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about zcal?

I think I was so used to Doodle that it took me a while to learn zcal. Not that zcal isn't user friendly, it is! But with any new application, learning takes time and maybe a few mistakes. So far there isn't anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is zcal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling meetings with people outside of my company. Have saved lots of time and back and forth emails with folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
