Calendly vs Xoyondo

Calendly is a scheduling tool that lets people offer booking pages and coordinate meetings across calendars. It supports one-on-one, group, collective, multi-host, round-robin, and team scheduling, with two-way calendar sync and automated reminders. Users can collect payments through Stripe and PayPal; payment tools also include links, packages, and invoices. The always-free plan allows one event type, one calendar connection, and one-on-one scheduling, and signup does not require a credit card. Standard costs $10 per seat per month billed yearly, while Teams costs $16 per seat per month billed yearly; both list up to six calendars per user. The service is available through mobile apps and a browser extension, and lists more than 150 integrations, including Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Zoom, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and Zapier. Teams adds administration features such as team groups, admins, and centrally managed events. Enterprise lists SSO, SAML, domain control, audit log compliance, a data deletion API, dedicated account support, onboarding, and implementation. Calendly was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Buford, Georgia.

Xoyondo helps groups arrange meetings and events through polls where participants mark their availability. It also offers opinion polls, anonymous polls, and Sign Up sheets. People can create or participate in polls and Sign Up sheets without an account, and participation does not require personal information. Polls are private by default and accessible to people with the direct link; the FAQ says there is currently no practical limit on participants. Sign Up sheets come in four types, including single-date RSVP, and creators can limit participants per slot or slots per participant. Results can be exported to Excel or CSV. Creators may import Google or Yahoo address books to invite participants; Xoyondo says it neither accesses those account passwords nor stores the address books on its servers. Polls and message boards are deleted after two years without a vote, comment, or other modification. The service uses Mailgun for notifications, which temporarily retains transmitted email addresses for up to 30 days for delivery. The Standard plan lists unlimited polls and participants; Premium and Business add further scheduling and administration options.
