Appointlet vs. TidyCal

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.

Maybe if you are needing a large enterprise solution you may need something else but we have found that it fits all of needs as a 32 people team. It has worked flawlessly since we installed it. I keep focusing on this but it is a 30 min set up and that’s it.

Usability is ridiculously easy.

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.

I can use the free plan, which includes
unlimited monthly meetings and appointments. However, I can only link one
calendar. The free plan calendar supports Google Calendar and Office 365
calendar integration. The software has been tried and tested by numerous employees from different backgrounds in our organizations. The interface was a hit with the majority of them, and they found it to be incredibly useful.
