Details
Calendly is THE scheduling link. Tope Awotona bootstrapped it for 8 years with $200k of his own money before taking investment in 2021. Now has 20M+ users. Not the most innovative anymore, but it just works and everyone recognizes it.
SavvyCal makes scheduling collaborative instead of “here’s my link, pick a slot.” Built by Derrick Reimer (who co-founded Drip), it lets people overlay their own calendar when booking, which feels way less one-sided than traditional scheduling links. Bootstrapped to over $1M ARR.
