We don't value-price. We cost-price. Every booking charges infrastructure cost plus a margin under 20%. We publish the costs.
Every booking is a combination of calendar syncs, email delivery, reminder scheduling, and booking page hosting. Here's exactly what each one costs us — and what we charge you.
* Calendly effective per-booking cost: $8/user/mo Essentials plan with ~16 bookings/month = ~$0.50/booking. Professional plan at $12/user/mo with ~16 bookings = ~$0.75/booking. Most freelancers get 10-20 bookings/month.
A confirmed booking is when a guest picks a time and confirms. Cancellations and reschedules are free. You only pay when a booking is created.
Even heavy users typically pay less. At 200+ bookings/month, Calendly's enterprise plan may be cheaper per booking. We're honest about that. For most people under 100 bookings/month, FairCal saves 90%+.
You pay $0. Your balance stays. No subscription to cancel.
