Pricing: $10 to $16 against $12 to $28

Calendly has two plans with a published seat price: Standard at $10 and Teams at $16. Enterprise is from $15k a year for 50 seats. Its Free plan is limited to one event type and one calendar connection.

Cal.com has a free plan for 1 user, then Teams at $12 and Organizations at $28, plus a custom Enterprise plan. Teams and Organizations have a 14-day free trial. The entry paid plan is a little dearer than Calendly's, but the free plan goes much further.

Event types and the free plan

Calendly's Free plan has one event type. Unlimited event types start on Standard at $10 a seat a month.

Cal.com's free plan has unlimited event types and calendars for 1 user. It also includes a one-click import of Calendly events, which helps a team moving from Calendly.

Round robin and routing

Both keep team features off the free plan. Calendly's Teams plan at $16, its second paid plan, adds round-robin and team scheduling, plus forms that qualify, route and schedule leads.

Cal.com's Teams plan at $12, its entry paid plan, adds round-robin scheduling and routing forms. Its Organizations plan at $28 adds routing by custom variables. For a small team that needs both, Cal.com is the cheaper way in.

CRM integrations

Calendly's Standard plan connects HubSpot and Mailchimp. Teams adds Marketo, Pardot and sending meetings to Salesforce. Enterprise adds Microsoft Dynamics.

Cal.com's free plan has two-way Salesforce and HubSpot sync. If your reps live in one of those two CRMs, that is included from the start.

We make PromptLab, so here is where it fits.

Using it with a CRM

PromptLab connects to Calendly and Cal.com. Each booking becomes a meeting in the CRM, matched to the contact by the invitee's email.

The meeting then sits on the contact's record next to their emails, calls and deals, so the rep who takes it sees the whole history first.
