Calendly is still the default and the most complete on calendars and video. Cal.com wins on price per person and can be self hosted. TidyCal is paid once and then forgotten. The GoFeed agenda is only interesting if the meeting has to stay attached to a client who already lives in the same workspace.
The question that rules half the list out
Before comparing features, settle the one thing that decides the purchase in 30 seconds: which calendar your team runs on. A booking tool is a middleman between a stranger and your real availability, and if it cannot read that availability properly, nothing else matters. A team on Microsoft 365 and a team on Google Workspace are not choosing from the same list, even though all four pricing pages look interchangeable.
The second question, almost as decisive, is what happens after the booking. For a lot of people the right answer is nothing at all: an event in the calendar, a confirmation email, and the rest is handled elsewhere. For anyone selling services on an ongoing basis, that meeting is the start of a record somebody will have to type by hand if the tool does not write it for them.

| Who it is for | Sales teams | Anyone wanting control or self hosting | One person on a tight budget | An agency already running its clients here |
| Calendars | Google, Microsoft and others | Many, Microsoft included | Google, Microsoft and Apple | Google Calendar, both directions |
| Video call | Several providers | Several providers | Several providers | Google Meet |
| Pricing model | Per seat per month | Per user per month | One off or subscription | Per workspace |
| Splitting bookings across people | From the Teams plan | From the Teams plan | Limited | No |
| Meeting attached to the contact | Through a CRM integration | Through a CRM integration | No | Yes, to the CRM contact |
| Open source | No | Yes | No | No |
There is a third question that only turns up once you have lived with this for a while: who pays for every person who needs their own link. In an agency of six, if the designer has to walk somebody through a mockup and the account lead runs the monthly call, that is two more links, and under a per seat model that is two more seats every month. The gap between paying per person and paying per team is barely visible in month one and very visible by December.
That table has one uncomfortable row for us, and it deserves saying out loud rather than hiding in a footnote: there is Google Calendar and Google Meet here, and there is no Outlook, no iCloud and none of the third party video platforms. It is not a temporary gap to be dressed up in a euphemism, it is what exists, and for a large slice of the Spanish market it closes the conversation on the first screen.
What each one costs today
The figures come from each vendor's own page, all in dollars and all before tax, so a Spanish invoice adds the corresponding VAT on top.

Read that way, the table says something comparisons tend to bury: for one person, all three have a free tier that genuinely works. The price does not appear for booking meetings, it appears for having several event types, for splitting meetings across a team, or for taking the vendor's mark off the public page.
Calendly, when booking is the whole problem
Calendly is the default for a solid reason: it leaves the fewest questions open. It connects to the calendars people actually use, offers the usual video platforms, has round robin from the Teams plan, and integrates with almost any sales tool already in place.
Its free tier is honest and deliberately narrow: one event type and one connected calendar. The moment you need to separate a 15 minute call from an hour long strategy session you are on Standard, and the moment you want the meeting to land with whoever is free out of a team of three you are on Teams. That step from 10 to 16 dollars per seat is the real conversation, not the free tier.
What rarely gets said about Calendly is that its real value is not the booking page, which everybody has by now, but the number of awkward cases it has already solved: time zones that shift mid week, buffers between meetings, daily caps, qualifying questions before a booking is confirmed, and reminders that cut no shows. That is years of accumulated work and it is charged for with reason.
One more thing about the free tiers, since half the searches that land here are really asking whether a booking link can be free forever. It can, on all three, as long as one event type and one person is the whole requirement. What ends the free tier is never volume, it is shape: a second kind of meeting, a second person, or a public page you do not want carrying somebody else's logo.
The Enterprise tier deserves reading separately, because it starts at 15,000 dollars a year with a minimum of 50 seats. It is not a small agency price and does not pretend to be. The head to head with our agenda is in GoFeed versus Calendly.
Cal.com and TidyCal, two different ways of paying less
Cal.com solves the same problem with a different philosophy. It is open source, it can run on your own infrastructure, and its team plan costs 12 dollars per user per month against Calendly's 16, with routing forms and branding removal included. For a technical team that wants control over where its meeting data lives, it is the only answer on this list.
TidyCal plays a different game: pay once. It is 29 dollars one time for one person and 79 for several profiles, and you never see a charge again. If your meeting volume is steady and your real problem is subscription fatigue, that argument is hard to beat. In exchange, splitting bookings across people and shared availability rules are thinner than in the other two. The contrast between the first two is in Calendly versus Cal.com.
The GoFeed agenda, when the meeting does not end in the calendar
The agenda here does not compete on being the best booking page, because it is not. It competes on what happens next. The booked meeting lands in the workspace agenda and is attached to the CRM contact who asked for it, so the next person to open that record sees the meeting, the opportunity beside it and the history, without anyone typing a word.
Everything in this article happens in one place in GoFeed.
Try it freeThat comes with two conditions worth stating before anybody gets excited. The first is technical: the sync is with Google Calendar in both directions and the video link is Google Meet. The second is about the product: the agenda shares a feature key with the CRM, so it belongs to agency workspaces. A creator or in house workspace does not have it, and for those two the right answer is still one of the standalone tools above.
The practical consequence shows up in the work that disappears. A discovery call booked from the website usually creates three invisible tasks: create the contact, note where it came from, and remember to follow up. When the booking and the record are the same object, those three stop existing, and so does the familiar version of the problem, which is a meeting that happened and left nothing written anywhere.
The pricing model changes too, and that is the structural difference with the other three. The price goes per workspace rather than per seat, so adding a fourth person to the team does not move the invoice or force you to buy another seat just so somebody can have their own booking link. How availability is configured and what a visitor sees is on the agenda and meetings page, and the current figures are on the pricing page.
What the other three do better
Four things, and they are enough that in many cases the honest recommendation is to leave this page and pick one of them.
The first is calendars. Calendly, Cal.com and TidyCal cover Microsoft and, in one case, Apple. We do not. If your team is on Outlook, this is not a difference of degree, it is an immediate no, and there is no graceful way to tell it.
The second is the video call. If your client insists on a specific platform that is not Meet, the other three let you choose and that choice does not exist here.
The third is splitting bookings. A sales team that needs calls distributed round robin across five reps finds that solved in Calendly Teams and in Cal.com Teams, and does not find it here.
The fourth is the entry price. All three free tiers let you publish a booking link and start filling the calendar today, and TidyCal turns that into a single 29 dollar payment. For one person who just needs to be booked, that is still the best deal on the list. The conversation only changes when the booked meeting has to leave a trace somewhere the client, the quote and the work already are, which is exactly what the agenda and bookings guide describes.
