How Calendly and Flodesk compare

Calendly is the standard for booking meetings. Calendar sync, a clean booking page, reminders, round-robin for teams, routing forms, and payment at booking, all refined over years. If the whole job is letting people pick a time with you, Calendly does that job about as well as it can be done.

Flodesk made email marketing pretty and easy to stay in. Gorgeous templates, an editor designers enjoy, workflows, forms and link-in-bio pages, and unlimited sends on every paid plan. Pricing now scales with active subscribers; anyone on the old unlimited plan keeps it. Flodesk Checkout adds simple sales pages. Small brands with taste pick it and stay.
