Can parents book a spot for their child and add details?

Coordinate multi-location timetables, shared rooms, and teacher availability. Use waitlists to fill canceled spots fast. Self-host or use our cloud, plug into your stack with an API-first approach, and maintain brand consistency across ballet classes near me and wider studio offerings.

Can we offer trials and then convert to ongoing classes?

Yes. Set a trial event type with targeted reminders and a post-class follow-up that includes a direct enrollment link and waitlist option if the class is full.

How do we handle different rooms and teachers at the same time?

Create resources for rooms and assign teachers to event types. Cal.com prevents double-booking by checking all assigned resources during scheduling.

Can we take payments during booking?

Yes. You can collect payments for drop-ins, workshops, and intensives, or request a deposit. Workflows then send receipts and policy reminders.

Do reminders support SMS and WhatsApp?

Yes. Send email, SMS, and WhatsApp reminders. You can combine channels and tailor timing by class type, like ballet, hip hop, or contemporary.

Is self-hosting available for our organization?

Yes. Cal.com can be self-hosted for maximum control and compliance. You can also use the hosted platform, both support workflows.

Can we manage seasonal schedules and camps?

Yes. Create separate event types for summer camps and seasonal series. Use capacity, waitlists, and follow-ups to keep sessions full and organized.

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 on 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!!
davidvkimballon Trustpilot
(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
Ant Wilson@AntWilson on X
One of the best tools for scheduling and my favorite after so many other options tried.

more elegant than Calendly, more open than Savvycal, cal.com works and it feels just right.
flo merianon Product Hunt
This platform's open-source nature and flexible licensing are a developer's dream. Self-hosting and white-labeling empower personalization and seamless integration.
Ahmed Elnaggaron 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 on 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.
Benon 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 Dixiton 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.
