Calendly
Direct answer
Calendly is a booking page. On 25 October 2026 the free plan included one event type and one calendar connection. Standard was listed at $10 a seat a month on the yearly view. The page is the product. An agent may draft the email that sends the link. It must not write times into the diary.
One kind of meeting, such as an intro call or a quote visit, offered only in the gaps you are actually free.
Watch out. A second booking product on the same diary will double-book you. Do not also turn on Google Calendar appointment schedules.
Teams was listed at $16 a seat a month on the same yearly view. You do not need it for a single intro call. The appointment playbook stays on the free plan. The Google Calendar version is the other writer. Use one.

Appointment booking with a Calendly link
Appointment booking for a small business should be a page of real gaps, not a chat that invents a time. Calendly's free plan, on 25 October 2026, was one event type and one calendar. You send a link. An agent may draft that email. It must not create events. This setup has not been live-tested.
Questions
What is on the free plan?
On 25 October 2026 the pricing page listed one event type, one calendar connection, and one-on-one scheduling. Unlimited event types were on the paid Standard plan, not on Free.
What did Standard cost?
The yearly view listed $10 a seat a month, with a line that said save 17%. Monthly billing is a toggle on the same page. Read that figure before you pay. Invitees do not need a seat.
Should I add Callie or Notetaker?
Not for this job. Those are extra products on the pricing page. The booking link is the whole setup. Meeting notes, if you need them, are a separate playbook.
