Cal.com
Hosted scheduling platform for booking links, team event types, and calendar routing, aimed at individuals and product teams. Cal.com moved its production code to a private repository in April 2026, and its public project continues as Cal.diy, an MIT-licensed community edition for personal self-hosting.
Teams that want flexible booking links and event types without paying Calendly-class premiums for basics. Self-hosting is limited to the MIT-licensed Cal.diy edition for personal use.
People who mainly need AI time-blocking across tasks and calendars, or enterprises shopping for a full workforce scheduling suite.
Verdict
Cal.com is a fair fit when the bottleneck is flexible booking links and team routing at a published price. Its commercial code has been closed source since April 2026, and self-hosting is limited to the personal-use Cal.diy edition. Buyers who want AI to rebuild their week may still prefer Motion or Morgen.
