Cal.com

Open-source-rooted scheduling with a generous free tier and SOC 2 plan

Overview

Cal.com is a scheduling platform with roots in open source. Its GitHub repository, which has about 50,000 stars, now hosts Cal.diy, a community-driven MIT-licensed fork with enterprise and commercial code removed; the repository states Cal.diy is self-hosted only and recommended for personal, non-production use[6]. Most businesses therefore use the hosted Cal.com service.

The hosted Free plan is unusually broad for a single user: unlimited links and calendars, email and SMS notifications, more than 100 app integrations, Stripe and PayPal payments, Salesforce and HubSpot sync, and an importer from Calendly[5]. Teams, at US$12 per user per month, adds team and shared availability, round-robin, managed and collective events, recurring events, workflows, routing forms, analytics, custom APIs and removal of Cal.com branding[5]. Organizations, at US$28 per user per month, adds unlimited sub-teams, company subdomains, SAML SSO and SCIM, SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 compliance and role-based permissions[5]. Both paid plans are 25% cheaper when billed yearly, and Enterprise is quoted[5].

Cal.com’s developer orientation and APIs make it a common choice for products embedding scheduling. Its interface is less familiar to invitees than Calendly’s, and the self-hosted fork is explicitly not intended for production.
