Calendly is a great company with a truly pioneering product. Modern scheduling tools like SavvyCal wouldn’t be what they are today without them.
That said, you’re here for a reason. And the fact of the matter is that Calendly is a generic tool meant to appeal to a vast number of audiences, needs, and industries.
If you’re okay with sending out a generic link that forces the recipient to jump through a few hoops to meet with you, SavvyCal probably won’t be a good fit for you. But if you care about providing an enjoyable experience for anyone booking a meeting with you, you’re in the right place.
“SavvyCal makes me feel better about finding time to meet with clients, partners, and colleagues. It goes beyond similar tools by removing the awkwardness of imposing your schedule upon others.”

Protect against meeting overload

Customize availability on the fly
With SavvyCal, you can preview and manually allow or block off time before sending.
With Calendly, “ad hoc meetings” have to be created in order to adjust availability, which completely negates the purpose of creating preset links in the first place.

With SavvyCal, you can check for conflicts across multiple calendars and set which calendar you want to store each meeting in.
With Calendly, every meeting is stored on the same calendar — don’t they teach you not to mix business with pleasure?
Multiple duration lengths for each link

“Officially cancelled my Calendly and upgraded my SavvyCal. Allowing my invitees to overlay their own calendar to pick a good time is game changing!”
