The 9 closest of 16, each with its real monthly cost at 2 users and what it does that TidyCal does not. See all 17.
Setmore does everything we verified about TidyCal for $12 a month less at 2 users, $0 against $12. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: TidyCal is built for one price for the whole team and the least to set up and Setmore is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Nothing on the page is priced or structured for a large team: there is no per-user plan, calendar connections cap at 10 below Pro, SMS is US and Canada only, and embeds, intake questions, routing and a mobile app are not listed.
It runs $12 a month at 2 users with the add-ons it forces on you included. 3 of the 16 alternatives to TidyCal cost less than that.
Ranked by how much of what we record for TidyCal each platform also does. OnceHub is the nearest, and it is $12 a month dearer at 2 users. On every feature this site records, the two are level.

Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a price that does not move with users and a free plan. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
This page compares everything to TidyCal. The shortlist asks 6 questions about what people book with you and how many calendars there are, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
