Where Calendly falls short for service businesses
Team pricing is brutal
Calendly charges per user on every plan. 10 staff members = $120–$160/mo. ZiggySchedule covers 10 users for $35.
No intake forms on lower plans
Custom intake forms — essential for salons, therapists, coaches — are locked behind Calendly's Teams plan.
No SMS reminders at all
Calendly doesn't offer SMS reminders on any plan. ZiggySchedule supports Twilio BYOK SMS on Team and Business.
The bottom line
Calendly is great for individual booking links. The moment you have a team, it gets expensive fast. ZiggySchedule gives you team scheduling, group classes, and paid bookings from day one — at $35/mo for 10 people vs Calendly's $160.
