Open source and self-hostable, with calendar sync across Google, Outlook, and iCloud, event types, round-robin and collective team booking, routing forms, workflows for reminders, payments at booking, and an API and embeds developers actually like. Individuals get a generous free plan.
Kajabi is a proven all-in-one for experts who sell courses, coaching, and memberships, then market them with funnels and email from one vendor. That is real strength. If the product is a program people log in to and work through inside Kajabi, it is built for exactly that.
