Scheduling tool pricing — Calendly, Cal.com, SavvyCal, and every alternative

About Scheduling and appointment booking
Scheduling tool pricing has compressed dramatically since Calendly's market dominance was challenged by Cal.com (open-source) and SavvyCal (premium UX). Calendly Standard is 10 USD per seat per month annual; Cal.com is free for individuals and 15 USD per seat per month annual for teams; SavvyCal is 12 USD per seat per month annual. The pages below cover the per-seat list across the category and the round-robin / collective scheduling tier-gating that determines whether a sales / customer-success team can actually use the tool. For most companies the buying decision is between (a) sticking with the free tier on whichever tool the team already uses, (b) standardizing on Calendly Teams for the integrations, or (c) self-hosting Cal.com for control.

Frequently asked questions
Is Calendly or Cal.com cheaper for a 5-person sales team?
Calendly Teams is 16 USD per seat per month annual, so 5 seats is 80 USD per month; this is the tier that includes round-robin and collective events. Cal.com Teams is 15 USD per seat per month annual, so 5 seats is 75 USD per month. They are within 7 percent on price. The deciding factor is usually integration depth (Calendly wins on CRM integrations, particularly Salesforce) vs control (Cal.com is open-source and self-hostable).
Is the free tier of Calendly or Cal.com enough?
Calendly Free includes 1 event type per user, 1 calendar connection, and basic integrations. Cal.com Free includes unlimited event types, unlimited calendar connections, and most integrations including the API — substantially more generous than Calendly Free. For solo users, Cal.com Free covers more use cases than Calendly Free; for teams needing round-robin or collective scheduling, both require paid tiers.
What does SavvyCal cost for premium-feel scheduling?
SavvyCal Basic is 12 USD per user per month annual; SavvyCal Premium is 20 USD per user per month annual. SavvyCal differentiates on the recipient experience (date overlay on the recipient's existing calendar, smart timezone handling, polling). For companies where the scheduling experience reflects on brand (founder calls, executive scheduling), the per-seat premium over Calendly is usually justifiable; for high-volume bulk scheduling, Calendly's CRM integration and Cal.com's self-hosting flexibility usually win.
