Nutshell Scheduler vs. Calendly comparison

If you’re looking for an online meeting scheduling tool, you’ve likely come across Calendly. But with its lack of sales integration, reserving web forms for higher paying customers, and high prices, Calendly may not be the solution your team needs.

Nutshell Scheduler is the Calendly alternative that offers advanced sales integration, and the booking management features your company needs to make the most of every meeting. Plus, Nutshell Scheduler is included in the Nutshell Pro CRM plan, so purchasing the plan unlocks Scheduler for your entire team.

Compare these online appointment schedulers side-by-side to see how they stack up.

Sales integration—so each booking adds to your understanding of every relationship

Nutshell Scheduler is built right into Nutshell CRM, making it a breeze to weave your appointments into the big picture of every customer relationship. Scheduler bookings sync to your contacts’ record pages so you can keep track of every interaction.

Nutshell also makes it easy to report on your Scheduler bookings. Choose an activity type for each appointment, whether a Zoom meeting, phone call, demo, or a custom activity type you create. Once you log the booking as an activity, you can report on those activities in your Nutshell reports to see into your team’s productivity.

If you want Calendly meetings to sync in your CRM and enhance your understanding of customer relationships, you’ll have to juggle an integration with Zapier. That means you’ll be working without a complete view of your clients and prospects—and you’ll have to pay for three accounts instead of one.

Seamless web form integration—so you can learn all the important details before your meeting

Nutshell Scheduler allows you to add a Nutshell Form for visitors to fill out while booking an appointment with you. Whether you need to hear a potential customer’s needs before a sales demo or precisely what went wrong before a support call, Nutshell makes it easy to get all the details.

Once someone fills out a form, choose whether Nutshell should create a new Person, Company, or Lead for them and automatically add a tag, include them in an audience, or add them to a pipeline to start working the lead. Then, go to their page in Nutshell to see all your information about them, including a complete timeline of every interaction they’ve had with your team.

Calendly only allows customers on their higher paying tiers to create embeddable, shareable web forms. And without sales integration, it’s harder to keep track of form submissions and responses.

Included with your CRM—so your entire team can book meetings

At Nutshell, we realize that a lot of people on your team may need to book appointments, whether it’s your sales reps, customer success team, marketers, or executives. It’s why Nutshell Scheduler is included on the Nutshell Pro plan, and every plan above it. For just $42 per user per month, you can give everyone on your team the ability to create and book appointments.

Calendly is priced per seat, meaning you’ll have to pay extra to allow everyone to schedule meetings on top of paying for the CRM you use. Depending on your team’s size and needs, this could get expensive quickly.

All our scheduling features—for every plan

All Nutshell Scheduler customers get all of these features—and more. Create co-hosted online meetings, add custom forms to your scheduler, send booking confirmation and reminder emails, and get live chat support from our helpful support team.
