TidyCal vs Calendly in a nutshell

TidyCal is a simple calendar booking tool with a forever-free plan and one-time paid tiers ($29 Individual, $79 Agency). The free plan includes unlimited bookings, paid bookings via PayPal/Stripe, and recurring packages. Paid plans add custom domains, more calendar connections, and team features.

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.
