HEAR IT FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Why we chose Calendly
Take it from the millions of people who use Calendly to save time and drive revenue every day.
“A lot of other appointment setting tools are very convoluted. With Calendly, set-up was so nominal; implementation took less than 10 minutes.”
Julia Pan
Sales Enablement Manager, SignPost
“We tried using the scheduling automations attached to our sales email platform, but it was very clunky. … When we had our first enablement session with Calendly, I immediately thought, ‘This is going to save us countless hours each week.’ … There would be an uproar if we tried to take Calendly away.”
Alek Relyea
Manager, Customer Success, HackerOne
“More targeted meetings lead to more deals closed. With Calendly, we’ve been able to automate some of the tedious administrative tasks and processes for our SDRs, helping them to reclaim 3,267 hours within the past year.”
Nick Jackson
Sales Manager, CallRail
“Compared to our previous scheduling automation solution, Calendly’s user interface was a breath of fresh air. … we’ve seen a dramatic increase in our onboarding satisfaction for our CSMs. Our customer experience is more efficient and satisfying as well, because they get access to their CSMs quickly. It’s a win-win.”

Consistently named the #1 scheduling tool on the market, across the board
Praise for Calendly
If I could give Calendly a 100 out of 10, I would! The amount of time I've saved is immeasurable!
Software appreciation post: I absolutely love my @Calendly - super valuable time saver, I am happy to pay for
I've used just about every scheduling software you can name and Calendly stands out in terms of UX/UI by a mile. They are just a lap ahead of their competition. The software itself is a beautiful, intuitive interface and they somehow keep finding ways to improve. I'm a superfan for sure.
I tried every scheduling tool last night. Calendly wins every time for one reason: Great user experience. Specificity in the setup and booking experience.
10 years ago, scheduling meetings looked like me emailing a client 5 dates and times that worked for us and then praying that the option they select would still be available by the time they responded.
It was inefficient and mentally draining.
@Calendly saved us. You need this.
4.7 out of 5
It’s more efficient and simplified compared to traditional appoint scheduling solutions, and it makes it easy for users to setup, use, and manage scheduling of appointments and more.
Compared to competitors, it is way more user-friendly.
