Calendly

Calendly is a scheduling platform that removes the back-and-forth of arranging meetings. Users share a personal booking link, invitees pick from the available time slots, and confirmed events are added to everyone's calendars automatically, with reminders and video conferencing details attached.

It serves salespeople, recruiters, customer success teams, educators, and anyone who books meetings regularly, scaling from solo professionals to large organizations. Capabilities include multiple event types, group and round-robin scheduling, buffer times and daily limits, automated workflows and reminders, and integrations with calendars, video tools, CRMs, and payment processors.

Founded in 2013 by Tope Awotona and originally based in Atlanta, Calendly grew rapidly and now operates as a remote-first company. It follows a freemium model, offering a free plan for basic one-on-one scheduling and paid tiers that add more event types, team features, and administrative controls for businesses.
