Introducing SwiftCal — Simple Scheduling at Half the Price
Introducing SwiftCal
Scheduling software has a pricing problem. The market leaders charge $10–16/mo for features that most solo professionals — consultants, coaches, freelancers — will never use. Team scheduling, routing forms, Salesforce integrations — these are enterprise features bolted onto tools that started simple.
We built SwiftCal to fix that.
What SwiftCal Does
SwiftCal is a scheduling platform that does what most professionals actually need:
- Set your availability — choose your working hours for each day of the week
- Share your booking link — send it to clients, put it on your website, add it to your email signature
- Get booked — your clients pick a time that works, and you both get a confirmation email
- Collect payments — optionally require payment at the time of booking via Stripe
No account needed for the people booking with you. No complicated setup. No learning curve.
What's Free
SwiftCal's free tier is designed to be genuinely useful, not a teaser for the paid plan:
- 1 event type (e.g., "30-minute consultation")
- Unlimited bookings — no artificial caps
- Google Calendar sync — automatic conflict detection, events created on booking
- Email notifications — confirmation, cancellation, and reschedule emails for both parties
- Public booking page — a clean, professional page at swift-cal.com/yourname/meeting
If all you need is a simple booking link with calendar sync, the free plan covers you indefinitely.
What's PRO
For $5/mo (or $50/yr), SwiftCal PRO unlocks:
- Unlimited event types — different durations, prices, and settings for each
- Payment collection — accept payments via Stripe Connect at the time of booking
- Custom questions — gather information from bookees before the meeting
- Remove branding — clean booking pages without SwiftCal branding
- Unlimited calendar connections — connect multiple Google Calendar accounts
The Pricing Comparison
Here's how SwiftCal stacks up against the competition:
SwiftCal Free ($0/forever): 1 event type, unlimited bookings, calendar sync, email notifications
SwiftCal PRO ($5/mo): Unlimited event types, unlimited bookings, calendar sync, email notifications, payment collection, custom questions, remove branding
Calendly Free ($0): 1 event type, unlimited bookings, calendar sync
Calendly Standard ($10/mo): Unlimited event types, unlimited bookings, calendar sync, custom questions — but payment collection requires the $16/mo Teams plan
Who It's For
SwiftCal is built for solo professionals who book 1-on-1 sessions:
- Consultants who book paid advisory sessions
- Coaches who schedule coaching calls
- Freelancers who take client meetings
- Therapists who manage appointment bookings
- Tutors who schedule lessons
If you're a team of 50 that needs round-robin scheduling and Salesforce integration, Calendly is probably the better choice. We're not trying to be everything to everyone.
What's Next
We're just getting started. Here's what's on the roadmap:
- Outlook and iCloud Calendar support — we're Google-only for now, but more providers are coming
- Webhook integrations — connect SwiftCal to your existing tools
- Recurring bookings — let clients book a series of sessions at once
- SMS reminders — reduce no-shows with text message reminders
