Calendly
TikkWhy choose Tikk over Calendly?
Requires an external calendar
Calendly is built around connecting an external calendar before you can start accepting bookings. For many people that's fine, but it also adds an extra step before you're up and running.
Built-in calendar included
Tikk comes with its own built-in calendar, so you can get started scheduling immediately. Syncing with Google, Outlook or Apple is entirely optional.
Hosted outside the EU
Calendly is primarily hosted in the United States. Depending on your organisation, this may require additional GDPR assessments and contractual safeguards.
Hosted in the EU
Tikk keeps your application data on EU servers, making it easier for European businesses that prefer their scheduling data to stay within Europe.
Every booking auto-confirms
Calendly confirms every booking the moment it comes in. There's no way to screen requests or decide who actually gets your time.
Manual approval built in
With Tikk, every booking waits for your approval before it's confirmed. You stay in control of who gets onto your calendar.

Who switches from Calendly to Tikk
Calendly felt like overkill. I didn't need workflows, routing rules or dozens of settings. I just needed a booking page that works and my clients appreciate that my data stays in Europe.
I don't want every request automatically confirmed. With Tikk, I can review each booking before accepting it and make sure it fits my schedule.
I use Apple Calendar. With Tikk, I can start without even connecting an external calendar because it includes its own built-in calendar. Calendar sync is optional.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Tikk different from Calendly?
Three things stand out. Tikk is hosted in the EU, it has a built-in calendar so you can start without connecting an external calendar and it lets you manually approve bookings before they're confirmed. Calendly is built around connecting external calendars and automatically scheduling available time slots, which works well for many users but is not the right workflow for everyone.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes, genuinely. The free plan includes a personal booking page, one event type, one calendar connection and the ability to accept payments, all without a credit card or trial period. When you're ready for more, Pro is €12 per month, or €9 per month billed annually, and unlocks unlimited event types, 0% transaction fees, custom branding and manual approval.
Can I migrate from Calendly to Tikk?
Yes. There is no automated migration tool yet, but switching is simple. Create your event types, optionally connect your calendar and replace your old Calendly link with your new Tikk booking page. Most users can be set up within a few minutes.
Does Tikk work without an external calendar?
Absolutely. Tikk has its own built-in calendar, so there's no need for any external account to get started. If you want to prevent double bookings across your existing calendars, you can optionally sync with Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar.
What about team features?
Tikk is built for individuals and small teams. If you need enterprise features like routing rules, round-robin scheduling or pooled team availability, Calendly is probably a better fit. Tikk is focused on being the simplest scheduling tool for freelancers, coaches, consultants and tutors.
