- SMS reminders (US and Canada) on Agency and Pro.
- A public directory listing for your booking page.
Pick TidyCal if the items in the right-hand column are on your must-have list. Pick SynqSlot if you are a team of two to ten that wants round-robin, routing forms and panel scheduling included at one flat price, with no-show protection and single-use links built in. Either way, the embeddable widget and routing forms pages show exactly what you get on SynqSlot before you sign up.
Frequently asked
- Isn't TidyCal cheaper?
- For one person, yes — $29 once versus $6/mo. For a team that needs routing forms, CRM sync and no-show protection, TidyCal does not have those features at any price, which is where SynqSlot Team 5 at $27/mo fits.
- Does TidyCal have routing forms?
- No. TidyCal offers round-robin and collective meetings on Agency and Pro, but not a qualification form that routes visitors to a person or team.
- Can I take payments with SynqSlot?
- No. SynqSlot is for meetings, not paid appointments. If you sell sessions, TidyCal or Acuity are better fits.
