YouCanBook.me was a great start. SavvyCal picks up where it left off.
YouCanBook.me is a simple product for a simple user. It’s got a great team behind it and a solid product today. But let’s call a spade a spade and call it for what it is: outdated.
If you’re okay with sending out a generic link that forces the recipient to jump through a few hoops to meet with you, SavvyCal probably won’t be a good fit for you. But if you care about providing an enjoyable experience for anyone booking a meeting with you, you’re in the right place.
A fundamentally different scheduling experience.
Make personalization a priority
With SavvyCal, you can create personalized links in seconds to make a great impression while also reducing the steps needed to schedule a time.
With YouCanBook.me, you have to send the same ol’ link to everyone.
Find the best time for everyone
With SavvyCal, recipients can overlay their calendar on top of yours to easily find mutual availability.
With YouCanBook.me, the burden is on the recipient to switch back and forth to find a good time.
Optimize for preferred times
With SavvyCal, you can optimize your schedule by presenting availability windows in a particular order.
With YouCanBook.me, recipients are limited to just one availability window.
Adjusting availability should save time, not waste time
With SavvyCal, you can quickly make changes across multiple meeting types at the same time.
With YouCanBook.me, availability has to be manually changed for each and every link.
Protect against meeting overload
With SavvyCal, you can limit how many meetings can be booked per day, week, or month.
With YouCanBook.me, you might wake up to 10 back to back meetings on a Monday.
Customize availability on the fly
With SavvyCal, you can preview and manually allow or block off time before sending.
With YouCanBook.me, “ad hoc meetings” have to be created in order to adjust availability, which completely negates the purpose of creating preset links in the first place.
Select calendars on a per-link basis
With SavvyCal, you can check for conflicts across multiple calendars and set which calendar you want to store each meeting in.
With YouCanBook.me, every meeting is stored on the same calendar — don’t they teach you not to mix business with pleasure?
Multiple duration lengths for each link
With SavvyCal, recipients can book as little or as much time as they need.
With YouCanBook.me, you have to create a separate link for every duration variant you want to offer.
Ad-free meeting polls
With SavvyCal, you can invite people to vote on a set of times to meet without any distractions.
With YouCanBook.me, you’re out of luck if you want to schedule a group meeting.
