Appointlet vs. Setmore

Appointlet is a fantastic tool. It allows you to easily send a link to people to book meetings with you. I put it in my email signature so my clients know they can book a meeting with me anytime they need to. It eliminates the "when can you meet" back and forth emails, and is an incredible tool.

As mentioned before, the price point of SetMore is better than many of its competitors. We pay $25/month for our whole team to use it, although I think they might be changing the price plans soon so we may have to reevaluate this factor later. I can't give it a 10 out of 10 review because we've just dealt with way too many calendar syncing errors and bugs in our time using it - and SetMore has been way too slow in actually fixing the issues. Customer service is always quick to respond in Chat, but it's a different story with how fast their developers can fix bugs and how much they choose to prioritize certain issues. For the most part, especially more recently, we've had a good experience with SetMore - and it makes appointment scheduling with our students easier. We're glad to use it and I would recommend it to others in education who support students doing 1 on 1 advising. Just except some bugs to come up now and then that may not get fixed immediately.

Appointlet's closest competitor is Calendly. Calendly is certainly more well known but Appointlet is just as good. Ultimately, Appointlet's free plan allows you to have multiple different kinds of meetings. This is different than Calendly's free plan and is ultimately why I chose to go with Appointlet.

Used those in previous jobs, however, comparing against SetMore. SetMore is more open to internal and external users that can take in place. With the others, many needed a VPN connection to use it. No capabilities for external users of the organization to access and schedule or check the availability of the internal resources. That being said, SetMore needs a facelift. It is a great tool but is getting aged. New freeware available, freemium tools for similar purposes getting out that can fill the gaps where SetMore is failing.
