I came across a solid alternative to Calendly today — a tool called cal.id.
Same idea, same smooth scheduling experience, and honestly it looks like it could become a strong competitor.
The market always needs more than one dominant player. Choice pushes products to improve. cal.id feels like one of those entrants that can actually shake the space a little.
Worth checking out if you’re exploring scheduling tools beyond the usual names.

Hey Dmitry, I took your advice quite seriously. The launch is going good, plus we're getting a good response on the features we discussed.
Thanks for supporting!
Unlimited meetings without throttling emails or API usage? Clarify what “unlimited” really covers.
Cal ID
Yep, truly unlimited - no caps on meetings, events, or API calls. You can schedule as much as you need without hitting any throttling.
Nice standalone booking tool from the looks. What is the primary niche or approach? Online inbound leadgen focused sales teams, coaching and consulting?
Cal ID
@dgtldan Thanks, Daniel!
So the nature of Cal ID is very flexible.
It could be used by anyone who wants to make their booking flow smooth, look professional, and save time. But yes, for coaches and consultants, the payment collection feature is really useful.
People who monetize their calls can easily collect payments right on their booking page itself.
Impressive!
Any plans for branding kits, fonts, color tokens, and saved themes across teams?
Cal ID
Thank you @prince_tari, really glad you asked that!
Yes, multiple saved themes and team-wide branding presets are definitely on our roadmap.
Right now, you could customize the booking page's header, logo, and colors.
A little off topic, but – Is there a specific workflow or setup you’d want to save and reuse across team members? That would help us shape it better!
Truly amazing tool Rishab and his team has created there. I was actually waiting for something to come along! I love that it is fully open source and the team is truly delivering in light speed. Keep it up!!! Would love to see more from you guys.

@klemens_dreesbach Thank you so much! We’ve put our heart into building Cal ID to be open, fast, and truly meaningful for everyone who uses it. Your words really mean a lot to the entire team.

Congratulations on the launch.
I believe the fact that it is fully open source will bring you much success amongst solo founders like me.
Cal ID
@getflookup We believe open source is the right way to build. It keeps us accountable, transparent, and closer to the people we're building for.
And since you're a solo founder, what would be the one thing you'd like to see in the roadmap? We're always listening 👀
@rishabh_pandram Congrats on the launch! Excited to see what you're building :)
