TidyCal

I use several scheduling tools, and TidyCal impressed me with its core promise: remove friction. In just a few minutes I created meeting types, connected my calendars, and had a booking link live. For anyone who works with clients, sells mentorships, or organizes interviews, it’s a “small but mighty” tool that makes a real difference day to day.

## What I liked most

* **Truly fast onboarding:** in 10–15 minutes you’re set up and taking bookings.
* **Syncs with popular calendars** (Google and Microsoft) to prevent double-booking.
* **Automatic meeting links** (Google Meet/Zoom) without hacks.
* **Paid bookings** via **Stripe/PayPal** — perfect for one-off sessions, consulting, and mentoring.
* **Custom intake fields** (triage questions) and **buffers** between meetings.
* **Clean, easy booking pages** your clients understand at a glance (great conversion).
* **Website embed** and **Zapier/webhooks** for simple automations.
* **Excellent value** (AppSumo lifetime): pay once, use it without surprises.

## What could be better

* **Advanced team features** (round-robin, more complex rules) are still simpler than enterprise rivals.
* **Visual customization** is decent, but limited if you need fully “on-brand” pages.
* **Mobile:** works fine in the browser, but a robust native app would help heavy users.

## Who I recommend it for

* Solo professionals (mentors, therapists, consultants, salespeople).
* Small teams that need **simple, stable scheduling with no monthly fees**.
* Anyone who wants to sell sessions directly from a booking link.

## Verdict

If you want **headache-free scheduling** with integrated payments and a clear client experience, **TidyCal overdelivers** — especially at AppSumo’s one-time price. It’s the kind of tool that “disappears” because it just works. For me, it’s a **highly recommended buy**.
