Good, but still lacking features it had 5 years to add
If you look through the reviews, there are notes about how this app does not have features that it should have going all the way back to 2020. There appears to have been only a little development on this software in the years since. This software is great, but is of limited functionality if you really want to control your business.
1. You cannot prevent anyone from rescheduling. There should be an option to remove the rescheduling button and cancellation button.
2. TidyCal creates an event on your Outlook or Gmail calendar. Why not save that event ID number in a field so that I don't have to search through Outlook or Gmail using n8n, Zapier, or Make to find the corresponding event?
3. Why is Zapier the only integration? In 2025, you should have webhooks. But, this software is stuck back in the 2010s. So, now you have to sign up for costly Zapier to receive notifications.
4. For each input field on a scheduling form, there should also be a option to leave a description or instruction for the input field instead of having to put it into the name of the input field.
All in all, this product has great value. However, it undercuts that value by requiring a Zapier connection to fully utilize automations. TidyCal needs to do some work to bring this into 2025.

Sep 23, 2025Hey, gmouton! Thanks for your honest review here.
To clarify a few things... We release dozens of updates per WEEK for TidyCal. Literally, this is not a mistype. I'm looking at our codebase right now, and there were 5 updates that went live today alone.
Within that, we have 3+ million (not a typo) who use TidyCal per month. So we get a lot of feedback — literally hundreds of pieces of feedback per month. We can only prioritize so much, and with a limited team size due to our very low costs, we have to pick what we believe are the most critical.
There are also about 50 different integrations that integrate with TidyCal, so Zapier definitely isn't the only integration.
