About zcal

zcal is an online scheduling tool that offers well-designed booking pages for free. It positions itself as a no-cost alternative to Calendly for individuals and small teams who want a professional booking link without paying a monthly subscription for the basics.

Users connect their Google or Outlook calendars, create event types with custom durations, buffers and availability, and share a personal booking page. Unlike many free plans, zcal includes unlimited booking pages, group events, meeting polls for finding a time with several people, custom intake questions and reminders. Video conferencing links for tools such as Zoom and Google Meet are added automatically. The Pro plan, at a low monthly price, removes zcal branding and adds workflows and further customization.

zcal fits freelancers, creators, consultants, recruiters and founders who want a clean scheduling page and polls without another subscription. It is a small company with fewer integrations than larger competitors, team routing and round-robin features are limited, and payment collection is basic, so sales teams and appointment-based service businesses should look elsewhere. Calendly remains the standard with the widest integration catalog, Cal.com is the open-source option that can be self-hosted, SavvyCal focuses on a recipient-friendly booking experience, and Acuity Scheduling or SimplyBook.me suit businesses that sell appointments with payments and intake forms.
