Per seat or flat
5 of 9 charge per seat (56%). Where that is the model, the entry price is not the price: it is the price of one person. Multiply by your real headcount before comparing anything, and check whether viewers are free — on a team with more readers than writers that distinction can halve the bill.
Where to start
The floor is YouCanBookMe at $7.20, which also has a free tier. Below $12 the category is YouCanBookMe at $7.20, Calendly at $10, Reclaim.ai at $10, SavvyCal at $10. Those are real products, not trials, and for a small team they are usually the right place to start: the expensive tiers in this category buy scale and administration, which are worth paying for once you have the problem and not before.
What the headline price leaves out
An entry price is a plan, not a bill. The caveats we recorded while verifying this category are the ones most likely to change what you actually pay:
- Calendly — Free plan limited to 1 event type; routing/team features need paid tiers. Verify on calendly.com.
- SavvyCal — Free option is limited (no personal scheduling links); core workflow needs Basic+. Verify on savvycal.com.
- Cal.com — Main product is now closed-source; Cal.diy is the free self-host edition (you pay hosting/ops). Verify on cal.com.
- Acuity Scheduling — entry tier renamed Emerging to Starter at the same $16; Standard $27 and Premium $49 above it
The free tiers in this category, for the record: Cal.com, Calendly, Reclaim.ai, SavvyCal, YouCanBookMe. Whether each is usable or decorative varies, and the only reliable test is running a real piece of your own work through it before the card comes out.
