Cal.com cloud charges $12/user/month. A 20-person team costs $240/mo on Cal.com vs $69/mo on Schedulee. Our flat-rate pricing means no per-seat math.
Schedulee includes AES-256-GCM encryption and audit logging for healthcare and compliance-sensitive organizations. Cal.com doesn't offer HIPAA compliance on their cloud platform.
Cal.com is a solid product. Here's where they have the advantage.
Cal.com is fully open source under AGPLv3. You can inspect, modify, and self-host the entire codebase. Great for developers who want full control.
If you have the infrastructure team, self-hosting Cal.com is free. You only pay for your own servers and database.
Cal.com has built-in routing forms that can direct visitors to different meeting types based on their answers.
Cal.com has been building longer and has features like recurring meetings, app marketplace, and more integrations.
Cal.com is ideal if you want full source code access and have the infrastructure team to self-host. Schedulee is the better choice if you want hosted simplicity with flat-rate pricing: $69/mo for 20 users, no servers to manage, deploys in minutes, and HIPAA-ready encryption included. Both offer round-robin and collective scheduling.
