Why choose SwiftCal?

Half the price

SwiftCal PRO is $5/mo — that's $60/yr less than Calendly Standard. Same core features, half the cost. No enterprise upsell, no feature creep.

Generous free tier

SwiftCal's free plan includes unlimited bookings, calendar sync, and email notifications. Use it forever without paying a penny.

Built for solo professionals

No bloated team features you'll never use. SwiftCal is designed for consultants, coaches, and freelancers who need simple, reliable scheduling.

When Calendly might be the better choice

We believe in being honest. Calendly is the better option if you need:

  • Team scheduling — round-robin, collective availability, or team booking pages
  • Outlook or iCloud Calendar — SwiftCal currently supports Google Calendar only
  • Integrations — Zapier, Salesforce, HubSpot, and hundreds of native integrations
  • Routing forms — direct visitors to the right person or event type automatically

If you're a solo professional who needs straightforward scheduling with payment collection, SwiftCal gives you everything you need at half the price.
