How much does Cal.com cost in the UK?

The free plan costs nothing. Teams is $12 per user a month billed yearly or $16 monthly, Organizations is $28 or $37, and Enterprise is priced on request with annual billing.

The pricing page shows US dollars only and says nothing about VAT, so UK businesses should expect any tax to be worked out at checkout. Teams and Organizations both start with a 14-day free trial. Seats are billed on the highest number of team members during each billing period, so adding someone for a week and then removing them still counts as a seat for that month. Text message reminders are paid separately once you are outside the US and Canada: Teams includes 750 credits per member a month, worth $0.01 each, and UK texts are charged at Twilio's rate plus an 80% processing fee. Free accounts get no credits and have to buy them.

Is the Cal.com free plan enough?

For one person taking bookings, usually yes. The free plan has no limit on event types, connected calendars or meetings, and it includes payments, the mobile app and Salesforce and HubSpot sync.

The limits show up when a second person is involved or when you want automation. The free plan covers one user, keeps Cal.com branding on your booking page and only allows templated workflows, so custom reminder emails and follow-ups need Teams. Round-robin booking, collective events, routing forms and booking analytics are also Teams features. A Trustpilot reviewer described losing editing access to custom workflows after the policy changed to require a Teams plan.

Is Cal.com worth paying for?

For teams that share bookings, reviewers largely think so. Cal.com scores 4.7 from 427 reviews on Trustpilot and 4.8 from 86 on Product Hunt.

Reviewers most often praise the clean booking page, the number of calendar and video integrations and quick support replies, many of them handled first by an AI assistant. Complaints centre on Microsoft Exchange connections, occasional outages, a billing and upgrade process some find confusing, and recent problems with Cal Pay withdrawals. Teams at $12 a user suits small sales, support or hiring groups that need round-robin and routing. Organizations adds SAML single sign-on, SCIM, sub-teams and a company subdomain, which mostly matters to IT-managed firms.

Cal.com vs Calendly: which is better?

Cal.com gives individuals more for free and suits teams that want deep control over routing and their booking page; Calendly is the older, better-known name. Cal.com publishes its own comparison page against Calendly and imports Calendly event types in one click.

Reviewers on Product Hunt and Trustpilot often say Cal.com beats Calendly on its free plan, mainly because of unlimited event types and the built-in Cal Video. Two other rivals work differently. Howie is an AI assistant you copy into email threads to arrange meetings, which suits people who dislike sending booking links. Fillout is a form builder with scheduling built in, which suits teams that mostly collect information and book calls as a step in a form.

Is Cal.com still open source?

Only partly. In April 2026 Cal.com moved its commercial code to a closed repository and relaunched the free code as Cal.diy under the MIT licence, for self-hosting at your own risk.

Cal.diy keeps the core scheduling features but drops enterprise features such as single sign-on, organisation controls, workflows and analytics. Cal.com gave security as the reason, saying AI tools make it easier to find weaknesses in public code. Hosted customers keep the same accounts and plans. Some long-standing users on Product Hunt reacted badly to the change, so anyone choosing Cal.com mainly for open source should look at what Cal.diy includes first.

How do you get Cal.com cheaper?

Yearly billing is the main saving: it cuts Teams from $16 to $12 per user a month and Organizations from $37 to $28.

• The free plan covers a single person indefinitely, so there is no need to pay until someone else joins.
• The 14-day trial on Teams and Organizations lets a team test round-robin and routing before paying.
• Removing leavers before a billing period starts avoids paying for seats that are no longer needed.
• Open source projects that are non-commercial, or companies under $2 million in annual revenue, can apply for sponsorship in return for a Cal.com banner.
• Email reminders cost nothing, while texts to UK numbers use credits.
