Calendu stands out with its unique ability to facilitate seamless scheduling and collaboration across multiple organizations. Unlike Calendly, which has no cross-organization features, Calendu allows you to invite participants from different companies and easily coordinate joint meetings.
One of Calendu’s most powerful features is the ability to view the real-time availability of others, even if they are not part of your organization. Calendly’s availability features are more limited in scope, making Calendu the superior choice for teams that require comprehensive visibility.
Both tools offer booking links, but Calendu takes it a step further by allowing times copied into emails to be instantly booked. While Calendly offers lead routing, it is limited to their most expensive plan. At Calendu, we offer lead routing in every one of our paid plans. Whether you are an individual or a small business, you can use this feature with us. This ensures leads are directed to the right person quickly and efficiently or are prevented from booking time if they are not qualified—a feature that Calendly offers only in their most expensive plan.
Calendu is designed with both users and developers in mind, allowing for quick and easy custom integrations. Whether you need simple API access or complex webhook configurations, Calendu makes it easy to integrate with other tools, unlike Calendly which can be painful for developers looking to get things done fast.
Calendu offers competitive pricing with more affordable plans compared to Calendly. We provide all the features you need at a price that fits your budget, ensuring that you get the best value for your investment.
Both Calendly and Calendu offer robust scheduling tools, but Calendu excels in areas critical for effective collaboration and comprehensive scheduling. From cross-organization features to real-time availability and custom integrations, Calendu provides the flexibility and power you need to streamline your scheduling process.
