What are your thoughts on cal.com changing to cal.diy? (aitoolly.com)

I was using cal.com for its teams feature. They were the best calendar system that had a pretty simple round robin assignment.

My problem is that it was pretty expensive per user, $15/user/month for a calendar system. That is around the same as my monthly user zoom costs.

Anyway, when they announced the diy version, I thought I might get to use this teams feature for free. But, they just removed it from the project instead.

I wonder if they got a lot of complaints about there being paid features locked on a self-hosted version of the software.

Isn't there anything else on alternative to that is worth trying?

There are a few that kind of come close to being better, but everything has at least one drawback.

I’m just vibe coding my own booking system.

If all goes well, it will be up and running on my test server by the end of the day.

it sucks that this is the new normal.

Yeah, I know. I would have kept paying for their software if the pricing for more reasonable.

I’m not on the calendar as bookabke as the business owner, but I still need to pay for myself as a user to just be the admin. Plus $15 a month for each contractor is pretty high.

Other services charge like $3 a month. But they have their branding all over the calendar so it does not look good for clients.

In theory, someone could fork that and vibe code the missing bits.

For $15/month * X users, that could even pay for a dev to do it properly

What is a round-robin teams meeting anyway? Is that a 1:1 with each member of the team?

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

Basically I need a single calendar for clients to use to book services.

It does not matter which of my contractors does the work.

So most other platforms force a different calendar for each person which makes it confusing for clients who just want to meet with someone at 7pm.

I’m actually vibe coding my own booking system due to their pricing.
