Cal.com

Cal.com is the open-source alternative to Calendly: customers can choose an available slot themselves via shareable booking links, eliminating the need for tedious back-and-forth email exchanges. Cal.com syncs with existing calendars such as Google, Outlook or Apple, supports various event types and automates confirmations and reminders via workflows. Thanks to white-labelling, the booking page integrates seamlessly into your website. With Managed Cal.com Hosting, the whole system runs on your own instance – including full control over appointment data.

Who is Cal.com suitable for?

Cal.com is ideal for any organisation that regularly arranges appointments with external parties: medical and therapy practices that allow patients to book consultations or initial appointments online; accountancy firms and law firms with consultancy appointments; agencies with discovery calls; or organisations offering course and consultancy slots. For medical practices and law firms in particular, it is important that the name and reason for the appointment of the person making the booking do not end up in a US cloud – a clear advantage over Calendly or Doodle. With the Business Plan, teams can book joint appointments with automatic allocation to available staff members.
