Calendly, Acuity, Cal.com, SimplePractice, TidyCal, or your scheduler. By use case, not feature comparison. Walk the tree, get the right one for your shape.

If you read one paragraph

The right tool depends on what you actually use it for, not a feature table. The map, then walk the tree to confirm:

Solo, no paymentsCal.com free
Customer pays at bookingTidyCal / Acuity
Classes and workshopsAcuity
Team round-robinCalendly Teams
Health info (PHI)SimplePractice

None of these tools are bad. The wrong tool for your shape costs you in workflow friction (multiple tools that should be one), missed compliance (PHI in a non-BAA tool), or money (paying for capacity you do not use). Pick once, set up correctly, leave it for 2 years.
