Calendly - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

“Like Rome in the old days, Everything runs through google. I can schedule something manually on my google calendar and Calendly blocks off that time so that no one can schedule that time slot. It also takes my Acuity Scheduling by Squarespace, so both apps work together through my Google Calendar to block off times and set appointments on my Google Calendar. It's just the best way to manage this for me.”

“Integration seeks to overcome the complexity involved with increased system connectivity by reducing the repercussions of any changes that these systems may undergo. Furthermore, it ensures that all systems communicate with one another in order to improve efficiency and data consistency.”

“Also key for me it's allowing students to receive all the information to assist to the meeting. So being able to create a meeting and provide the details in a few clicks it's important. I don't need to do anything else that just provide the calendar like to my clients and Calendly does the rest”
