Calendly vs Microsoft Bookings in a nutshell

Calendly lets you eliminate back-and-forth emails by sharing a scheduling link with your guests. It's free for one type of event and integrates with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. But their customer service, more event types, and extra calendars require a paid plan.

Microsoft Bookings is an appointment scheduling tool available with eligible Microsoft 365 plans. It supports personal and shared booking pages, staff/services, and Teams-based online meetings. It is best suited to organizations already standardized on Microsoft 365.
