What you get
Calendly: A booking page on their platform — Us: A booking page you own, on your domain
Looking for a Calendly alternative
Stop renting a form.
Calendly's free plan allows one event type; Standard is $10 a seat a month, forever. What it sells is, at its core, a form that writes to a calendar — useful, polished, and rented. A booking page built here is yours, on your domain, saving to a database you can read.
Build a booking page for my barber shop — name, phone, time, saved to the database.

| Question | Calendly | Amelia’s Agent |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A booking page on their platform | A booking page you own, on your domain |
| Free tier | One event type, one calendar | The build itself costs $1.24 |
| Ongoing price | $10/seat/mo Standard · $16/seat/mo Teams | Plan from $10/mo total — not per seat |
| Where bookings go | Their platform, your calendar | A database included with your account |
| Custom behaviour | Their feature list | Anything you can describe in a sentence |
The Calendly column is quoted from their own published pages as read on 2026-08-31, not characterised. Where their page does not answer a question the cell says so — on a table whose headline is that nobody publishes the price, that is the answer. Check every cell against their site; that is the point of writing it this way.
Where they are better
Round-robin team routing is genuinely theirs.
Calendly's team features — round-robin assignment, lead routing, Salesforce lookups — are deep, and a sales team that lives on them should stay. This is for the far more common case: one business, one calendar, bookings that should land somewhere you own without a seat meter running.
The question that decides it
A dollar is a unit you already understand.
Credits are a currency with no published exchange rate. Here the unit is a dollar: what the model provider charged us plus 20–30% — 30% on the trial, Amelia’s Chat AI and Pro, 28% on Pro Plus, 22% on Pro Max — with that rate under the composer before you send and what the answer cost printed on the answer. Free to start with no card, building plans from $10 a month billed annually, and a spending limit on from day one.
And if you want to know who is making these claims: a software company that has shipped for other businesses since 2005.
If you are still weighing it up

Questions
Asked, answered
Can I replace Calendly with something I own?
For the common case — a page where clients pick a time and you get the booking — yes. Describe it and the page is built with the bookings saving to an included database; the working examples in our showcase were each built from one sentence.
Does it connect to my calendar?
Builds can send email notifications out of the box, and a Google Calendar connection can be added to a build on request — say it in the description and it is part of the spec.
What does it cost compared to Calendly?
Calendly Standard is $10 per seat per month indefinitely. Here the build costs $1.24, and a plan from $10 a month total — not per seat — covers hosting it with your bookings database included.
