Our take
Calendly is a cloud-based scheduling service that is straightforward to use. It allows around 10 million customers per month to connect and make appointments based on their availability without having to send emails back and forth.
The platform offers four plans, allowing individuals, small companies, and large enterprises alike to make use of these services. Organic strategies have driven Calendly's growth. Its invites become links to Calendly itself, so people who like it can, and do, start to use it.
There are a handful of competing products on the market, including offerings from Doodle and Microsoft, but Calendly's customer-friendly design has won it attention and helped it to carve a space in the field. Impressive funding has contributed to the company's expansion, and its capitalised on the increasing popularity of home and hybrid working.
