Meet Cal.com v2.0, rebuilt from scratch, and now free for individuals. They've come a long way after launching 12 months ago when Calendso rebranded to Cal.com and released their v1.0 to the world.
I'm pumped to hunt Cal.com's 2.0 launch, a complete remake of its open source scheduling tool. What's even more exciting is the introduction of the forever free plan for individuals, thanks to its growing enterprise business. Cal.com was one of the fastest growing commercial open source projects last year and I'm excited to see how this new release goes!
I've been a user from early days, having purchased a few hundred dollar short URL and everything, with high hopes.
Each release, sadly, is buggier and worse performing than the last - usually with new bugs that affect integrations and how they're displayed, creeping in every time.
Support is lukewarm at best. So far, even as a hobbyist, I'd rather pay Calendly than put anything I need Cal.com to run. I'd avoid using this for anything mission critical until they up their reliability game and are more predictable with support.
(After I heard of this v2 launch, I signed into my product only to discover that my branding settings became broken, my timezone formatting was incorrect and calendars were taking 2-5+ seconds to load for end users).
This is a worthwhile pursuit and I hope the team can turn it around, but it's hardly ready for production use at this time, let alone a v2 label.
@timfee hey tim, would you mind if i personally look into this? this seems like an outlier, maybe something broke in your account when we migrated everyone
can you shoot me an email with your username, browser, etc?

also— easy to refund you worst things worse 🙏
It's hard to believe that it's been a year, and I am THRILLED to see the product be free for individuals now. This is an incredible thing for the community at large, open source, and for the business itself!
Really like your Product and the 2.0 version! I'm using it for 1 year and I love it. I know you have automation with Zapier, n8n, and webhooks, but do you plan to have an automation with Make.com?
It could be great :-)
Congrats for the launch!
I've been watching y'all for a LONG time - this update right here RIGHT HERE - may be the one to move me from the competitor platform I'm currently using. Keep innovating team ✌🏾
I've been using Cal.com since a couple of months and upgraded to their pro plan a while ago. It's sad to see they don't want my money anymore as they made their entire offering free for individual users with v2. So devastating.
Lol jk, it's FREE and EVEN MORE AWESOME NOW.
Congrats @peer_rich and team! I've become a convert after witnessing the incredible speed at which this team responds and ships new features, leaving all other similar products in the dust. Very excited for this new release
This is neat, but I'm curious what the killer feature is that would make me move away from Motion Calendar which I absolutely sweat by and has become my virtual EA!
I've been using Cal.com for the last six months and it's been great. Love the clean interface and the ability to connect multiple calendars. The support team is super fast to respond as well. Congrats, great product!
Love the open source model so companies that need to bake-in scheduling can be confident in it for the long term and even self-host it. Plus a great free scheduling tool for individuals - killer combo!
