Unlock the Hidden Power of Google’s Appointment Slots: A Calendly Alternative

The Hidden Gem: Google’s Appointment Slots

This feature is somewhat buried within Google Calendar. Unlike Calendly, which is a standalone service, Appointment Slots is included in all Google Workspace Subscriptions. That means you get this feature along with your regular Gmail, Google Drive, and other Workspace services.

Google Appointment Slots vs. Calendly: The Showdown

Pricing

Calendly offers a free plan, but its premium features come at a cost. Google’s Appointment Slots, on the other hand, are part of your existing Google Workspace Subscription.

Feature / Pricing Google Workspace (Business Starter) Calendly (Essentials)
Price $8.40 AUD / user/month $8 / seat/month
Paid Calendar Appointments ✔️ ✔️
Video Meetings 100-participant (on demand)
Advanced Calendar Features ✔️ (Event types, group events, workflows)
Custom and Secure Business Email ✔️
Storage 30 GB per user
Security and Management Controls ✔️
Standard Support ✔️

Note: These are two different platforms, so it’s challenging to compare them directly.

Payment Integration

Here’s the kicker: Google’s Appointment Slots come with Stripe integration, allowing you to monetize your meetings. And guess what? It’s free! Calendly requires a professional plan for this feature.

Customization & User Experience

Both platforms offer customization, but Google’s Appointment Slots gives you the added benefit of seamless integration with your existing Google services.

Why You Might Consider Switching

If you’re already using Google Workspace and don’t require advanced features like webinars or group events, Google’s Appointment Slots could be a cost-effective and convenient alternative.
