Thrilled with this scheduling app—it's a game-changer. The intuitive interface and advanced features streamline my time management. The standout, however, is the incredible support team—swift, expert responses to every query. A perfect combo for seamless scheduling and top-notch customer service. P.s. Way better than Calendly

I just migrated from calendly to cal.com I'm liking it so far. I wasn't particularly displeased with calendly. It's fine. But I like that cal is OSS and my sub to calendly was coming up for renewal so I thought I'd check it out. Looks good.

2 days of using @calcom is enough to never look back at calendly
Anuvesh Singh@singh_anuvesh em X
Without a doubt the best calendar/scheduling application I have ever used. It has all of the advanced features I need while also being insanely intuitive and straightforward for both end-users and booking recipients. Love it!!

(finally) made the move to @calcom after I couldn't find how to edit events in the calendly dashboard and I must say - dash is 10/10 Bravo @peer_rich and team (I should have moved over years ago!) OSS fam

more elegant than Calendly, more open than Savvycal, cal.com works and it feels just right.

Ahmed Elnaggarem Product Hunt
for the love of me, why do people still use Calendly? Just today I have seen products reference Calendly while they know of @calcom It's a no brainer for me to use , their brand is amazing, cool team + they even have more compelling features 🤷
Rotimi Best@rotimi_best em X
Amazing. I've been sharing it with everyone I know. It's helped me create more events spontaneously, because of how smooth it is compared to Calendly and Harmonizely.
Benem Product Hunt
Very easy to set up and start. Connected with my Google calendar without any problem. Connecting with Microsoft gives me an error. But other than that the user interface is very good.
Pankaj Dixitem Product Hunt
Just gave it a go and it's definitely the easiest meeting I've ever scheduled! No context switching, no distractions, and works even better on mobile too.
