Open-source scheduling infrastructure — a self-hostable Calendly alternative.
Why we recommend it
Freelance designers booking client calls get the same experience as Calendly, with the option to self-host so meeting data stays on infrastructure you control.
Strengths
- Self-hostable for full data control
- Connects to Google, Outlook and CalDAV calendars
- Generous free hosted tier if you don't want to self-host
Drawbacks
- Self-hosting requires real technical setup
- Fewer integrations than Calendly
- AGPL licence has implications if you embed it commercially
