The simpler Cal.com alternative, made in Europe

Why choose Tikk over Cal.com?

Built for developers and teams

Cal.com is open source and very flexible, with workflows, routing forms, an app store and self-hosting. That flexibility comes with a lot of settings to work through before your page feels right.

Ready in minutes

Tikk has the settings a professional actually needs. Create your booking page, set your hours and share your link.

Your week lives in another calendar

Cal.com is designed to work alongside a connected Google, Outlook or Apple calendar, which becomes the place you actually see and manage your week.

Built-in calendar included

Tikk comes with its own calendar, so you can see and manage your appointments without connecting anything. Syncing an external calendar is optional.

Payments through a separate Stripe account

Paid bookings on Cal.com run through its Stripe app, which means setting up and managing a Stripe account next to your scheduling tool.

Mollie payments built in

Tikk takes payments through Mollie, the European payment provider, straight from your booking page, with the payment methods your clients already use.

Who switches from Cal.com to Tikk

Cal.com could do everything, which was exactly the problem. I spent more time in settings than with clients. With Tikk I was live the same afternoon.
Solo professionals who want less to configure
I wanted clients to pay when they book, without setting up Stripe. With Mollie built into Tikk, my clients pay the way they're used to.
Coaches and consultants who take payments
I didn't have a website, just a booking link. Tikk gave me both: a simple page about me and my services, with booking built in.
Freelancers who need a website too

Frequently asked questions

What makes Tikk different from Cal.com?

Cal.com is an open-source scheduling platform with a lot of flexibility: workflows, routing forms, an app store and the option to self-host. Tikk is built for professionals who want to be up and running quickly. It includes its own calendar, payments through Mollie, manual approval and a personal website, and it's made and hosted in Europe.

Is Cal.com's free plan better than Tikk's?

For event types, yes: Cal.com Free includes unlimited event types, while Tikk Free includes one service. Tikk Free adds a built-in calendar, paid bookings through Mollie and a personal website. Tikk Pro is €12 per month and unlocks unlimited services, custom branding, manual approval and 0% platform transaction fees.

Can I self-host Tikk like Cal.com?

No. Tikk is a hosted service, so there are no servers to run and no updates to install, and your data is stored on EU servers. If self-hosting is a hard requirement, Cal.com's open-source edition is the better fit.

Can I move from Cal.com to Tikk?

Yes. There is no automated import yet, but switching is quick: create your services, set your availability, optionally connect your calendar and replace your Cal.com link with your Tikk page.

Does Tikk have an API like Cal.com?

Yes. Tikk has a REST API with OAuth 2.0, so other apps can read a user's profile, services, availability and bookings, and create single-use booking links. The developer docs are at developer.tikk.chat.
