Calendly

What it is.

Put a link in the signature and the scheduling emails stop. Calendly's free plan is always free and covers 1 event type on 1 connected calendar.

One event type is the constraint that decides whether you upgrade. A single demo link is fine; a demo, a discovery call and a support slot means three, and three means paying.

What you get.

  • A booking link that reads your calendar, on a plan that stays free.
  • Automatic time zone handling, which removes the most common scheduling mistake.
  • Buffers and daily caps, so the calendar stays workable.
  • Calendar invites created for both sides without anyone sending one.
HOW TO USE IT

How to set it up.

1

Connect the calendar that holds your actual bookings, since free covers one.

2

Set buffer time before and after, or you'll end up with meetings back to back all afternoon.

3

Cap the daily meeting count, which is the setting most people find out about too late.

4

Put the link in your email signature and the CTA of your outbound sequence.

5

Set the minimum notice period, so nobody books you in twenty minutes.

Best for

A founder taking demo calls

One link, one meeting type, no scheduling emails. The free plan covers this exactly.

Outbound sequences

A booking link in the last line of an email removes the step where interest goes cold.

Questions about RevOps & Data

Do scheduling links hurt reply rates?
How much buffer should you leave between meetings?
Before you start
  • The calendar that holds your bookings, since the free plan connects one.
  • A decision on buffer time before you publish the link.
Strengths
  • Always free for 1 event type, with no trial period to manage.
  • Time zone handling is automatic, which removes the most common scheduling mistake.
  • The paid step is published at $10 per seat per month, so the upgrade is easy to price.
Limitations
  • 1 event type on free, so a second meeting format means upgrading.
  • 1 connected calendar, which is awkward if your work and personal calendars are separate.
  • Integrations with HubSpot, Stripe and Zapier sit on paid tiers.
Skip this if
  • You already have booking inside your CRM, where the meeting lands on the record.
Ideal for
  • Founders
  • Sales teams
  • Customer success
