The two services in brief

Calendly is one of the best known meeting schedulers in the world. According to its official pricing page on the date we checked: the Free plan includes one event type and one calendar connection; Standard costs $10 per seat per month billed monthly or about $8.30 billed annually and adds unlimited event types, reminders and payments through Stripe and PayPal; Teams is $16 per seat. Pricing is per seat, so it multiplies with every staff member.

Flowlyup is service booking for specialists and small businesses: services with prices and durations, staff schedules, deposits, group classes, a business card page, a product store and chat. Plan facts:

  • The Start plan is free with no time limit: online booking, a business card page, a team with no staff limit.
  • The Plus plan is 990 ₽ per month, billed in Russian rubles: reminders, online payments through YooKassa, a product store, chat, a widget, branding, up to three branches.
  • For the first 14 days Plus is enabled free of charge, no card required.
  • The price does not depend on the number of staff or the number of bookings.
  • Push and email reminders with nothing to pay for SMS: clients sign in with their email, so notifications always arrive.
  • Discounted service packages: a session is deducted from the package automatically at every booking.
  • Products and services sell each other: products are offered while picking a service, a service can be attached to a product, products form bundles, and only real buyers can leave reviews.
  • Client money goes straight to your YooKassa account, bypassing the platform; you pay the service fee later yourself from your account.
  • Chat on the business card page and inside the widget, with the whole team able to answer.
  • Works without a public page too: a calendar, manual bookings and client notes - private or shared with the team.

When Calendly is the better fit

  • You schedule meetings and calls rather than sell services from a price list.
  • You need two-way sync with Google Calendar or Outlook and CRM integrations such as HubSpot or Salesforce.
  • A team distributes calls between managers in round-robin.

When to choose Flowlyup

  • The client picks a service from a price list, sees the price and duration and can pay right away.
  • You have several staff members and do not want to pay per seat.
  • You need a page with a portfolio, products and chat, not just a calendar.

Online payments in Flowlyup run through YooKassa: this suits businesses that can open a YooKassa merchant account. Booking, reminders, the business card page, the widget and chat work in any country, and the interface is available in nine languages.
