The free, modern alternative
to Calendly
Calendly is great — but it's not the only option. SlothCal gives you everything you need to share your availability and let people book time with you, starting completely free. No bloat. No enterprise upsells. Just scheduling that works.
Why people switch from Calendly to SlothCal
Calendly pioneered online scheduling, but as it's grown, it's become complex and expensive for individuals and small teams. Here's why SlothCal is a refreshing alternative.
Simpler pricing
Calendly has four tiers with confusing feature gates. SlothCal has two: Free and Pro at $9/month. That's it. No sales calls required.
Fast and lightweight
SlothCal loads fast and stays out of your way. No dashboard bloat, no features you'll never use, no mandatory onboarding flow that takes 10 minutes.
Privacy-first
We don't sell your data or track your visitors across the web. Your scheduling data is yours. Simple as that.
Smart timezone handling
Automatic timezone detection for both you and your bookers. Times are always shown correctly — no more 'wait, was that my time or your time?' confusion.
Google Calendar sync
Real-time two-way sync with Google Calendar. When someone books, it's instantly on your calendar. Blocked time on your calendar? Those slots are automatically unavailable.
AI-ready scheduling
SlothCal is built for the future — with a public API that lets AI assistants book meetings on behalf of your clients. No other scheduling tool offers this.
