Calendly alternative for service businesses, not only meetings
Calendly is the reference tool for booking a meeting with a professional: excellent calendar sync, round-robin routing for sales teams and AI meeting notes. Its prices are per seat (checked 2026-10-16): Free with one event type and one calendar, Standard €12 and Teams €20 per seat a month (€10 and €16 billed yearly).
What Calendly does better
- Best-in-class meeting scheduling with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, rated 4.7/5 on G2.
- Team routing for sales: round-robin, lead qualification and centrally managed event types.
- AI Notetaker for Zoom, Meet and Teams, and a wide CRM and marketing integration catalogue.
- A simple free plan for one person with one meeting type.
Base as a Calendly alternative
- Built for businesses whose customers book a service, a seat, a room or a car: services with prices and durations, staff skills, rooms, rentals and classes — not only a meeting link.
- One price for the business, not per seat: the Free plan has 2 staff accounts, Standard (€19 a month) up to 10.
- Booking pages in English, Greek and Russian. Calendly translates booking pages into seven languages, and Greek is not one of them (Calendly Help, checked 2026-10-16).
- Customer records, reminders, a customer portal and Telegram notifications in the same plan.
Calendly or Base: which to choose
Choose Calendly if you book meetings between professionals — sales calls, interviews, consultations by video.
Choose Base if customers book a service, a class or a rental from you, if your team is more than one person, or if your clients read Greek.
