Hi Hunters👋
Kalendar is a free, fully customizable Calendly replacement you can start using today.
We built it at Founding.dev after seeing teams pay for scheduling tools that were rigid, expensive, and hard to adapt as they grew.
This is one of the templates we've built and we're on a mission to help companies build their own SaaS tools with AI instead of wasting thousands of dollars on expensive subscriptions.
I’ll be here all day, would love your feedback and happy to answer questions.
Spam bookings get brutal once you share a scheduling link widely. Does Kalendar.work support email or SMS verification plus webhooks for CRM sync? That's the combo that saves the most support time.

As we write with Aima... you know what is the next step :D Time wasted on calls statistics :D
@busmark_w_nika Haha! Interestingly, Kalendar is built on Founding.dev With Founding.dev you can vibecode any feature you want. So if you are up for it, let's sure make it happen!!! lol Cheers to no more wasted calls! 🥂
Congrats Talha! It looks super cool. How are you going to monetize it? It's too complicated to compete against Google Calendar beyond being free. Anyway I wish you all the best here!
@german_merlo1 Not looking to monetize it. We're launching it for free forever. I am building founding.dev where our mission is to help companies build their own SaaS tools and saving thousands of dollars on subscriptions.
@masoodtalha7 7 Respect. Free forever is rare and bold. Helping teams build their own tools instead of stacking subscriptions is a mission I can get behind. Rooting for Kalendar.work and founding.dev.

Congratulations on the launch of Kalendar. Loved the custom branding feature considering I don’t have to pay for it. I want to use the Kalendar to book demos of my product with custom branding.
I was curious to know that is it plug and play for integrating with my product website or do I have to vibe code to integrate it?
@ammaramehdghani It is definitely plug and play. Please create an event type and setup your booking page and then you should be able to link to your website.
If you want to build complex workflows, you can also import it as a template in founding.dev and then build on top of it.

@masoodtalha7 got it. Thank you.
Hello @masoodtalha7 @aima
I’ve just checked your website and it looks great. I really like that you included a comparison with Calendly’s features—it makes the decision to switch to your platform much easier 🙂
I’m currently using Calendly to set up demo meetings for my product, but I’m going to try doing it with your platform and will share my feedback.
Thanks!
@masoodtalha7 @ksenia_sh Thanks so much for the feedback Ksenia, please do let us know whatever feedback you have at anytime. And if you need a feature that will help your work flow, let us know and we would see to it that it is done, as long as it is within our power to do so. I appreciate the time you took in leaving a thoughtful comment on our launch today. Have the very best of the rest of your day.
@ksenia_sh Do give us a try. Our mission is for everyone to NOT pay thousands of dollar for SaaS.

If you're positioning on the price mainly, what are your monetisation plans then? Cheers!
@davidkaufmann No monetization plan. Just a way to help people get rid of Calendly's pricing.
The Met
I've had a public, self-booking calendar of some sort since 2000 and am a Calendly power user nowadays. (I book hundreds of meetings a year. I find it useful, robust and flexible). Do I want to pay almost $200/year if there's a free alternative, of course not! Looking forward to trying out Kalendar.work to see how it compares to Calendly, as well as to Google Calendar's dive into this area (https://workspace.google.com/resources/appointment-scheduling/). Good luck, team.
@sree Do try the calendar out and please let us know if you run into any issues. Thanks
Love the promise of this! Would be curious on your thoughts for monetization over time to cover the server costs whether differentiating on the paywall for features, ads, or something else
@aaronwgoh Very good question. This Kalendar is a free offering from the parent company https://founding.dev - We're also going to publish the codebase next week for the world to self host if needed
