About TidyCal

TidyCal is a scheduling tool made by AppSumo, the software deals marketplace founded by Noah Kagan in Austin, Texas. Its main selling point is pricing: a free plan covers unlimited bookings, a low-cost Pro subscription unlocks all features, and lifetime licenses have also been sold through AppSumo as one-off deals.

Users create booking types for different kinds of meetings, share booking pages and let invitees pick times that sync with Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud calendars to prevent double bookings. It supports video links for Zoom and Google Meet, buffer times, booking limits, reminders and confirmations, group bookings for workshops, packages for selling several sessions at once, and paid bookings through Stripe or PayPal. Custom questions, automatic time zone detection and simple branding cover most of what a solo professional needs.

TidyCal suits freelancers, coaches and consultants who want reliable booking and paid consultations without an expensive recurring bill. It has limited team features such as round-robin routing, fewer integrations and basic customization, so teams needing lead routing and CRM connections should look at Calendly, Chili Piper or SavvyCal. Cal.com is an open-source option with a generous free tier, and Zcal is another free alternative. For one person selling their time, the free plan and low Pro price are hard to beat.
