Cal.com stands out as an open, modular scheduling platform with a developer‑grade architecture and a very complete feature set for modern teams. The open‑source core and self‑hosting option make it unique in a market dominated by closed SaaS schedulers, while the hosted version ships with mature integrations, a growing app ecosystem, and enterprise‑ready controls.
The cadence of product updates is active and transparent, with meaningful upgrades to the native video stack, API surface, and organizational management in recent releases.
• Open‑source foundation and self‑hosting option.
The codebase is public, extensible, and can be deployed on owned infrastructure for tighter control over data locality, security, and compliance. This model also benefits from community contributions and faster iteration on niche capabilities compared to closed platforms.
• Pricing that scales from individual to enterprise.
There is a Free plan for individuals with unlimited bookings; the Teams plan is listed at $15 per user per month; and a higher tier with advanced org and enterprise features. The official pricing page clearly delineates feature progression from Free to Teams to higher plans, and third‑party comparisons align on the $15 user price point for teams.
• First‑class scheduling mechanics for teams.
Round‑robin logic with timestamp basis selection, routing forms, and team workflows are called out in public materials, and recent release notes highlight improved scheduling logic granularity and organization‑level permission clarity, which is critical for multi‑team deployments.
• Native Cal Video with new privacy and accessibility controls.
The built‑in video product gained advanced options: enable or disable recording per attendee role, automatic transcription, and post‑meeting redirects to a custom URL. These are configurable within event location settings and are supported via API v2 for programmatic management.
• Robust API v2 and developer ergonomics.
Recent updates expose endpoints to fetch full event details from Google Calendar, manage Cal Video settings, and improve caching and API‑key listing performance. There is also a refreshed app install flow to add apps directly to specific event types, which reduces setup friction for complex workflows.
• Broad integration surface through ecosystem partners.
Zapier offers templates to push bookings to Google Calendar, create CRM contacts in HubSpot, send Slack notifications, write rows to Sheets, and more, which covers most no‑code automation needs. This complements Cal.com’s own App Store and API for deeper integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
