AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Calendly excels in user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher overall score compared to Timely. Users appreciate its simplicity and ability to integrate with various platforms, making scheduling a breeze without the hassle of back-and-forth emails.
- According to verified reviews, Calendly's ease of use is a standout feature, with users highlighting its intuitive interface that allows them to share availability effortlessly. In contrast, while Timely is user-friendly, it doesn't quite match the level of satisfaction reported by Calendly users.
- Reviewers mention that Calendly's free trial offers a wide range of options, which is a significant advantage for small businesses looking to explore scheduling solutions without upfront costs. Timely, on the other hand, has a starting price of $26.00, which may be a barrier for some users.
- Users say that Calendly's automatic syncing with calendars is a game-changer, allowing for seamless scheduling of meetings, interviews, and team calls. Timely also offers automation features, but users have noted that it primarily focuses on time tracking rather than comprehensive scheduling.
- Reviewers highlight that Calendly's support quality is commendable, with many users feeling well-supported during their onboarding process. In comparison, while Timely's support is rated positively, it doesn't reach the same level of satisfaction as reported by Calendly users.
- According to recent feedback, Timely's automatic time tracking and SMS reminders are appreciated by users, particularly for managing tasks and upcoming events. However, the lack of recent reviews for Timely suggests that it may not be as widely adopted or tested as Calendly, which has a robust number of recent user experiences to draw from.
