Details
Cal.com does what Calendly does, but it is free for individuals and open source. You get a booking page, calendar integrations, and the basics of scheduling without paying Calendly’s rates.
If you are a solo founder who just needs a scheduling link, Cal.com saves you $10-20/month compared to Calendly. The tradeoff is polish: Calendly has had years more to smooth out the experience. Cal.com is good enough for most scheduling needs, and the option to self-host appeals to founders who want control over their data. If scheduling is mission-critical to your business and first impressions matter, Calendly or SavvyCal are more refined.
Superhuman Docs, called Coda until 8 July 2026, is documents with superpowers: think Notion but more programmable. Founded by Shishir Mehrotra (ex-YouTube VP) and Alex DeNeui. Used by Uber, Figma, Square, NYT. Better than Notion for complex workflows; worse for simple note-taking.
It is now part of Superhuman’s suite alongside Superhuman Mail, Grammarly and Go. Existing Coda docs moved over automatically, and prices did not change with the new name. The free plan includes collaborative docs, connected tables, forms and automations with a low quota. Pro costs $12 per Doc Maker per month billed annually ($15 monthly), and Business costs $33 ($40 monthly).
