Calendly vs. Reclaim: What G2 users are saying
Reclaim.ai: 4.8/5 on G2
✅ Positives:
  • “Unlike most people (possibly), I started using Reclaim.ai for it’s meeting links feature (think Calendly) and was pleased to learn that they had smart scheduling (think Clockwise), and integration with external calendars (Outlook, Gmail). I love the interface, aesthetics, and the idea of recurring tasks, habits, and focus time that are dynamically rescheduled by AI. I also found the multiple priority levels concept for the purpose of automated rescheduling to be immediately intuitive.“ (source)
  • “Pricing was what convinced us to switch. Although the free plan is excellent for a business that just requires one link, the option to have flexible duration scheduling links, and a target calendar for each schedule is fantastic to keep your workday organized. They also offer recurring meeting options and automatic travel time and "decompress" time in between your meetings, which are really helpful.” (source)
🔴 Negatives:
  • “Some of the main features, such as integration with various calendars, are inevitably paid. The cost is not high, however, there are other similar free tools.” (source)
  • “You have to log in to their website to manage many stuff and it creates one more thing to do.” (source)
Calendly: 4.7/5 on G2
✅ Positives:
  • “Calendly makes scheduling calls and appointments for my business incredibly easy. I can set up different types of appointments and even accept payments, and set up an availability calendar that works across different events, so I don't have to make myself unavailable 5 different times. I was able to integrate it in my website incredibly easily as well. I truly can't imagine using anything else.” (source)
  • “Calendly’s new updates have made it the entire scheduling experience smarter and smoother. The redesigned navigation makes it easy to locate things and live preview helps me see how my booking page looks like. The new workflows, holiday blocking, and improved contacts view has made planning a breeze for me.” (source)
🔴 Negatives:
  • “Their tool and support are totally unreliable. We've been using it for years, but now a lot of clients are reporting that they cannot book a meeting through calendly link. Their support is totally unresponsive, they are not giving any reasonable timeline for fixing this and we're simply loosing money because Calendly is not doing what it was supposed to do. We are currently in the evaluation phase of competitors..” (source)
  • “Terrible customer service, the product has major flaws and issues with integrations. If you need a booking system for sporadic interviews or calls, Calendly will do. If you need a solid software to handle 20+ appointments per day, look for something else.” (source)

Share more availability with AI

Calendly is a classic “send-a-link, book-a-meeting” tool that works best when your calendar isn’t busy and you have open time slots available for urgent meetings right away.

Reclaim is built for busy calendars. Its AI-powered scheduling links use priority levels to automatically flex lower-priority events, surfacing 524% more open time slots on average—so important meetings get booked faster, without manual calendar juggling.

Better scheduling experience

Calendly supports basic external scheduling through booking links and reminders.

Reclaim
is built for complex calendars, offering flexible link configurations and priority-aware AI scheduling that helps meetings book faster when time is scarce.

More than just a scheduling link

Calendly is a good fit for simple, external meeting scheduling—especially for teams that need to share availability and collect payments for appointments.

Reclaim goes beyond availability sharing by using an AI-powered calendar to actively manage and prioritize your entire schedule—automatically coordinating meetings, tasks, habits, focus time, and breaks so busy calendars can create availability instead of running out of it.

“Reclaim.ai does my Calendly stuff but just as importantly automatically schedules all my tasks and habits. Game changer for me.”
