Calendly Overview
Calendly is the gold standard for automated scheduling, and for good reason. The free tier works for basic needs (1 event type), but the Standard plan ($12/mo) unlocks unlimited event types and integrations that pay for themselves if you book 3+ meetings weekly. Teams plan ($20/mo) adds round-robin and AI routing. Enterprise pricing starts steep at $15K/year for 30+ seats.
Best For:
- Sales teams booking demos
- Consultants and freelancers
- Recruiting/HR for interviews
- Customer success teams
- Anyone avoiding email back-and-forth
Clockwise Overview
Best for teams with 50+ people managing heavy meeting loads who need automated focus time protection and multi-timezone coordination. The free tier offers unlimited auto-scheduling and calendar optimization, making it the strongest free option in the scheduling category. Teams tier ($6.75/user/month annually) adds team-wide analytics and smart meeting movement. Avoid if you're a solo user with light meeting loads-the ROI doesn't justify even the free tier's learning curve.
Best For:
- Teams with heavy meeting loads (50+ people)
- Software development teams needing protected focus time for coding
- Distributed remote teams managing multi-timezone coordination
- Companies seeking team-wide calendar optimization
Our Verdict
Calendly is our top pick for most users, thanks to its overall value proposition. However, Clockwise remains a solid choice if you need Teams with heavy meeting loads (50+ people).
