I am a current user of Cal.com which is free and has more features than zcal-pro does. I purchased zcal hoping for more robust features. I tried Tidycal but they don't have ability to have multiple booking pages. The new "Teams" feature in zcal is a decent enough feature to create alternate booking pages for different clients (which Tidycal doesn't have but Cal.com does - sort of...you have to "embed" links into a page. I use Notch.so as a sort of landing portal for my clients and just embed the booking link. It works pretty well.). Lots of other companies don't give you the ability to create more than one booking page. This is strong plus for zcal (but....see below). The zoom, msteams, and outlook work flawlessly for me. I know some others reported difficulty.

Reason for only 3 stars (and a possible refund). I have tested it out, end to end.

1. CNAME is a must and here's why: The calendar invite shows up as from 'zcal <notifications@zcal.co>'. The company talks about branding as being a priority and this clearly is their brand versus my brand. I am willing to hold out for CNAME that is reportedly in the works but it looks like they are going to charge for it in a higher tier and have been non-committal about honoring the current Appsumo offering and buyers.

2. They got rid of the cover photo that really made it look branded to me and replaced it with only a 15sec video spot or "story image". To me this makes zero sense to me as the examples they had of the previous format look really great from a branding perspective.

3. The "story image" requires a very small image so my logo(s) don't fit in them and therefore the feature is pretty much useless to me.

4. No way to customize the default/stock emails or create workflows. There is not much control over what it sends without having to re-create an entirely new custom email. All free in Cal.com.

5. While the "Teams" feature is good for a work around for multiple booking pages, it does not allow for a "group" booking feature. Collective booking (as in all on your team) but not for external people.

Cal.com is more feature rich but doesn't have CNAME. I bought zcal on the hopes that it would be added to the tiers. I am a soloprenuer so higher tiers give me more people to include (which I don't need at all) and 'maybe' CNAME. This is unfortunate. I have no need for the ability for more users but do for CNAME.

I am on the fence right now as to refund. The "Teams" booking page is a nice feature that I can use in lieu of a more formal multiple booking pages. The MSTeams/Outlook/Zoom work flawlessly. I don't like the fact that the "branding" is pretty limited. The removal of the banner they had previously to now the "story image" is not good and limiting as to what you can include in it. I asked support about this and then sent them photos of how unusable it was for me and my logos and heard nothing back.

So for me, the strong reason to keep it is the "Teams" feature that allows for multiple booking pages that you can customize for availability and certain customers (it works for this purpose just fine and not limited to internal teams). But this is dimished, heavily, for me personally because I can't use "group" bookings for external people. The ability to have zoom and MSTeam is perfect AND you can also have both options available for the booker to choose, which is nice.

Branding is not as strong as I would hope for. I will play around with a bit more and will decide if it grows on me. Without strong customization of branding, CNAME there is a high likelihood of getting a refund, use Cal.com, and wait for the next calendar Appsumo Offer.

The polling feature is nice but not as nice as doodle's interface. Cal.com doesn't have a polling feature.
