Looking for a Cal.com alternative? See our ranked comparison.→What is Cal.com?
Cal.com is a scheduling tool for booking meetings, similar in shape to Calendly, built to also work as scheduling infrastructure for larger companies. A single person can use the free plan to take bookings off one calendar. Teams add round-robin routing, collective event types, and routing forms; organizations add sub-teams, SSO, and compliance certifications.
Cal.com ran as an open source project for five years before going closed source in April 2026, a move the company attributed to AI-assisted vulnerability scanning. A community fork, Cal.diy, continues as the open option for people who want to self-host.
The product ships fast. Cal.com pushes numbered releases with real changelogs, and the June 2026 release (v6.6) reworked the interface and added a live preview when setting up event types.
Who it's for
- ✓ Founders and small teams that want a free single-user scheduling link with no seat cost
- ✓ Companies that need round-robin or collective booking across a sales or support team
- ✓ Organizations that want SSO, SCIM, and compliance certifications without paying enterprise sales prices for the base plan
Who should look elsewhere
- ✗ Teams that specifically want an open source, self-hostable tool with no vendor lock-in, since Cal.com is now closed source
- ✗ Anyone budgeting a flat monthly number who also plans to use Cal.ai, which bills per minute on top of the seat price
Pros
- + Actual per-seat prices are on the pricing page, no contact-sales wall until Enterprise
- + Free plan is unlimited on event types and calendars, not a time-limited trial
- + Ships frequent, documented product updates with real changelogs
- + Round-robin, routing forms, and Salesforce/HubSpot sync are available well below Enterprise pricing
Cons
- – Went closed source in April 2026 after years of marketing itself as the open source Calendly, which upset some of its original user base
- – Multiple users report slow support response times and an AI-first support chat that doesn't always escalate to a human
- – Cal.ai and other add-ons bill separately by usage, so the total cost can run past the advertised seat price
- – Organizations plan jumps to $28/seat/month, more than double the Teams price, for SSO and compliance features many buyers need earlier than Cal.com's tiering assumes
Cal.com pricing
What you pay for
Cal.com publishes real per-seat prices for everyone below Enterprise, so you don't have to talk to sales to know what a Teams or Organizations plan costs. The free plan is a genuine single-user tier, not a trial. Add-ons like the Cal.ai phone agent bill separately by usage, so a team leaning on those features pays more than the listed seat price suggests.
At about $12/month to start, it sits mid-pack on price in Meeting Scheduling.

Is Cal.com still actively developed?
Last significant update: June 2026. Cal.com v6.6 migrated the whole product to a new design system, redesigned the event type settings page with a live booker preview, added drag-and-drop for event types, workflows, and routing forms, and introduced isolated availability so one event type can run on its own schedule.
