Switched from Calendly (too expensive) to "Appointment scheduling with Google Calendar" since I have Google Workspace and it was included. But that's super basic and missing a lot of functionality I was used to in Calendly. Luckily I was recommended TidyCal by a colleague and am loving it! I wish I'd discovered it sooner. For the price it's a no-brainer. And it works. And it looks great. What else could you ask for?
Just beginning to dive into the app! Switched from Calendly. Although I need to finish doing all the things to get me set up, I'm loving it so far! Very happy I made the purchase!
TidyCal has been a game-changer for my small business! It’s super intuitive, easy to set up, and makes scheduling with clients a breeze. I love the clean design and how smoothly it integrates with my calendar. Honestly, it’s saved me so much back-and-forth.
I used Calendly for a while, but many of the features I needed were locked behind a pricey subscription; then I discovered TidyCal, bought the Lifetime Access and now everything's sorted. ❤️
Highly recommend it for anyone offering services or running client calls or meetings!
As someone who values personal communication with clients, not being able to adjust confirmation or reminder messages (even slightly) made the tool feel too rigid for my needs.
I ended up refunding the deal, which is a pity because I see a lot of potential here. If email customization ever gets added, I’d be happy to give it another try.
I use the product constantly and I am satisfied.
The notifications could be better, and more efficient.
We need the option to be able to associate a color to each type of meeting created.
This is a great replacement for Calendly - even allowing for an import of events from Calendly to make setup even easier!
Delivers all the functionality WITHOUT the ongoing cost. Multiple events, chargeable events, but by far-and-away, what sealed the deal for me was full synchronisation with my APPLE CALENDAR... which it seems fewer and fewer alternatives allow, including the biggest competitor (calendly) which used to... BUT THEN STOPPED!!!
Buy this product you will NOT Be disappointed!
We've been using TidyCal for a few weeks and overall, it’s a functional upgrade from Google Calendar — especially with features like round-robin scheduling and paid bookings.
That said, setup wasn't flawless: we encountered a minor bug early on, which was manageable but worth noting.
The bigger issue is the agency plan. It was marketed as a one-time payment for team use, but in practice, each additional team member requires a separate $29 USD license. This wasn’t made clear at the time of purchase and feels misleading. As our team grows, we’re forced into purchasing individual accounts, which undermines the value of an “agency” option.
Verdict: A solid product with useful features, but the pricing model — particularly for teams — could use more transparency and flexibility.
I’ve been using TidyCal for a while and genuinely appreciate its simplicity and affordability. When they introduced the Team (Tier 2) plan, I was excited—it sounded like the perfect way to streamline everything under one roof. I had been juggling multiple accounts, so consolidating seemed like a logical upgrade.
The Tier 2 setup wasn’t quite what I expected, but I made it work. It was still convenient to have everything in one place and considered that a win.
From time to time, I’ve run into calendar sync issues. In the past, support was quick and helpful. But this time? Not so much.
I went back and forth with support for several days with no resolution. Then… complete silence. For five days, I heard nothing. I run a business—I can’t afford to be stuck in limbo. So, I pivoted. I reactivated an old TidyCal account, wiped all the connected calendars, and rebuilt everything from scratch just to launch my event on time.
Technology isn’t perfect—things happen that I know, and am fine with. But what frustrated me was the lack of support. I felt ghosted. And when I finally did get a response after five days, it included a “workaround” I had already tried and told them didn’t work.
Support matters just as much as the technology itself. Bugs are inevitable, but the response to those bugs is what defines the experience. I don’t expect perfection—but I do expect responsiveness, professionalism, and a sense that my time matters.
I like TidyCal for its look and feel. It offers quite a range of options.
What disappointed me strongly refers to lack of regular email notifications (for the time being what is being sent is simply Google Calendar notification). What is more, the process of sending these notifications mixes up my official email address connected to TidyCal with my private Google Calendar and my private Google email address. This is a serious bungle.
Simple to set up, easy to use. This is not just a calendar app! Book appointment, follow up, create database with integrations. This is a big help and I like the desktop get to work with. I don't need too many bells and whistles, they just clutter up the app so this is perfect for me.
I already love TidyCal! The interface is simple, the tool is effective, and it's simple to use with multiple options to customize and tailor your needs. The different calendars integrations works like a charm, and I already set up professional and personal calendars: now my customers can book me when I'm really free! What a relief!
4 out of 5 Tacos... yes, because nothing is perfect. Here is the improvements TidyCal could (must?) do:
👉 When booking a call/visio, TidyCal opens a window that we can't customize. It's not a big deal, but there is a field where the customer has to enter its name. Just its "name". But what name? First name? Last name? Nickname? And just after validating the booking, TidyCal send a mail (we can customize it... but not that much) and we can use the name of the customer. And according to what the customer has entered, it says "Hello John" or... "Hello Doe". Not so good... Of course, we can add a field asking the first name of the customer but we can't use it automatically.
👉 The automated mails: very good idea! But they are not as customizable as it seems. For exemple, if I write something in bold, the receiver will had bold and CAPS LOCK. Why? Another thing: I want to add my complete name and my organization at the end in bold and italics... but it sends _CAP LOCKS BETWEEN TWO UNDERSCORES_. I think TidyCal doesn't generate HTML mails, and that's a shame. We cannot include image (like our logo) too.
👉 And finally, talk about the format date. In the settings, we can choose 12 or 24 hour format, but we can't choose between DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. It's a shame too: we are not all in America. And admit it: putting the month before the day is absurd 😂
I really think this three "mistakes" can be solved quickly, and then, the tool will be perfect. That's why I took off one taco: we all use this tool for professional purposes... and there are a few details that doesn't look very professional... for now!
But now, let's say it clearly: for $29, it's a no-brainer. Calendly is not going to see me, haha! Of course, I dream of different Booking albums (to separate the different types of products we offer) with its own links... but it's not the priority.
Keep up the good work, and thanks a lot for all you achieved, AppSumo 🙌
I recently started using TidyCal based on a friend's recommendation. I ran into a few issues with integrations at first, but found helpful walkthroughs on YouTube that cleared things up. When TidyCal wasn’t working quite right, the chatbot provided detailed instructions and even offered to contact support on my behalf. I also appreciated that they quickly refunded me when I accidentally upgraded a second time. Even without live support, the platform is well designed and easy to use. Great experience overall!
