SimplyMeet.me

The cheapest team booking link that still has routing forms and CalDAV

SimplyMeet.me is a meeting scheduling tool for individuals and teams, offering booking pages, round-robin and group scheduling, routing forms, poll meetings, and payment collection, with a free plan covering one user, three meeting types, and 50 meetings a month, and paid plans from $5.99 per user per month; it is the rebuilt and rebranded successor to Harmonizely, acquired by SimplyBook.me Ltd in 2021, and it retains Harmonizely's unusually broad CalDAV calendar support.

Overview

SimplyMeet.me does the personal and small-team booking link job, and it does it at the bottom of the market on price while carrying two features that are normally reserved for tiers three times as expensive: routing forms that match an enquirer to the right team member based on their answers, and poll meetings for finding a time across a group without fixed availability.

Its lineage explains its most distinctive technical trait. It began life as Harmonizely, a CalDAV-first scheduler that connected to calendar systems the mainstream tools ignored. SimplyBook.me Ltd acquired it in June 2021 and relaunched it as SimplyMeet.me, judging the Harmonizely name a drag on the product's future. If you search for Harmonizely today you are looking at SimplyMeet.me, and the CalDAV, Fastmail, and Zoho-style calendar support survived the rebrand.

The pricing is aggressive. Free covers one user, three meeting types, and 50 meetings a month. Standard is $5.99 per user per month billed annually ($6.99 monthly) for up to five users, unlimited meeting types, and 100 meetings a month per user. Professional is $9.99 per user annually ($11.99 monthly) for up to 30 users, unlimited meeting types, and 500 meetings a month per user. Enterprise is quoted. The metering is on meetings per user rather than on event types, which is a different upgrade line from almost everything else in the category.

The parent company matters. SimplyBook.me Ltd already sells a mature appointment booking system for service businesses, so SimplyMeet.me is deliberately the lightweight meeting-link sibling rather than an attempt to be everything. That focus is a virtue, and it also means that if you discover halfway through that you actually need staff, rooms, and a service menu, the same vendor sells that product too.

Best for

Small teams and solo professionals who want routing forms, round-robin, and poll meetings at the cheapest published price in the category, and anyone whose calendar lives on CalDAV, Fastmail, Zoho, or another system mainstream schedulers refuse to connect to.

Not the right fit for

  • Service businesses with staff, rooms, stock, and a till; SimplyBook.me, from the same company, is the product for that, and using the meeting-link sibling instead would be a mistake.
  • Heavy bookers on the free or Standard plan, because the meter is on meetings (50 a month free, 100 a month on Standard) and a busy recruiter or support lead will blow through it.
  • Buyers who need first-party CRM logging with field mapping into Salesforce or HubSpot; the integration path here is Zapier rather than a deep native connector.
  • Anyone who needs a widely recognised booking domain, since SimplyMeet.me carries none of Calendly's familiarity with the person receiving the link.
  • Organisations with formal security review requirements expecting a published SOC 2 report and enterprise identity controls on self-serve tiers.

How it works

  1. 1

    You sign up and connect a calendar. The supported list is broader than most: Google, Microsoft Outlook and Office 365, iCloud, and generic CalDAV, which covers Fastmail, Zoho, Nextcloud, and other systems that mainstream schedulers ignore entirely.

  2. 2

    You create meeting types with duration, buffers, questions, location, and notice rules. The free plan allows three; every paid plan is unlimited. What is metered on paid plans is meetings booked per user per month, which is 100 on Standard and 500 on Professional.

  3. 3

    You share the booking page as a link, embed it on your site, or put a routing form in front of it. The routing form is the interesting bit: an enquirer answers a couple of qualifying questions and is directed to the appropriate team member's availability rather than to a generic pool, which is a capability Calendly reserves for its $16 Teams plan.

  4. 4

    For team scheduling, round-robin distributes bookings across members, collective and group bookings handle multi-host and multi-attendee sessions, and a colour-coded team availability view shows who is busy, tentative, or out of office. Payments are taken through SBpay.me, the parent company's payments layer, which brokers Stripe, PayPal, Square, and others. Reminders and follow-ups go out by email and SMS.

Feature breakdown

25 features in 5 modules

Booking pages and calendars

The core scheduler, with unusually broad calendar support.
Meeting types
Three on the free plan, unlimited on every paid tier. Each carries its own duration, buffers, questions, location, and notice rules.
CalDAV and non-mainstream calendar support
Inherited from Harmonizely, this is the standout technical feature. Google, Outlook, Office 365, and iCloud are joined by generic CalDAV, so Fastmail, Zoho, and Nextcloud users are served where Calendly and most rivals simply do not connect.
Buffer times and notice periods
Padding either side of meetings and a minimum booking notice so nobody claims the next ten minutes.
Automatic timezone detection and multi-language pages
Invitees see slots in their own timezone, and booking pages render in multiple languages.
Custom questions at booking
Intake questions per meeting type so the context arrives with the booking rather than in a follow-up email.
Meeting limits by plan
50 meetings a month on free, 100 per user on Standard, 500 per user on Professional, unlimited on Enterprise. This is the meter, and it is the thing to model before buying.

Team scheduling and routing

The features that make this competitive far above its price.
Routing forms
Enquirers answer qualifying questions and are matched to the appropriate team member's availability. Calendly puts the equivalent behind its $16 Teams tier; here it is available on a $5.99 to $9.99 plan.
Round-robin distribution
Inbound bookings rotate across the team so sales meetings are distributed equitably rather than landing on whoever answers first.
Group bookings
Capacity-limited sessions with multiple participants in a single appointment, for classes, briefings, and webinars.
Poll meetings
Gather time preferences from a group and pick the winner, which is the Doodle-style workflow most booking-link tools do not include at all.
Team availability view
Colour-coded status across the team showing busy, tentative, and out of office, so an admin can see the shape of the week at a glance.
Organisation-level user management
Standard covers up to 5 users, Professional up to 30, with team management and organisation payments handled centrally.

Payments, reminders, and follow-ups

Turning a booking into a commitment.
Payment collection via SBpay.me
The parent company's payments layer brokers Stripe, PayPal, Square, and other processors, so you keep your existing processor rather than being forced onto one.
Email and SMS reminders
Automated reminders before the meeting, which is the primary no-show intervention available to a link-based scheduler.
Automated follow-ups
Post-meeting messages triggered automatically rather than remembered manually.
Custom SMTP
Send booking emails through your own mail server, which improves deliverability and means confirmations come from your domain rather than the vendor's.
Custom redirections
Send the invitee to your own page after booking, which makes conversion tracking possible.

Branding and embedding

How the page presents, and where the upgrade lines sit.
Custom branding
Logo, colours, and messaging on the booking page so it reads as your business rather than the vendor's.
Custom domain
Host the booking page on your own domain, which is a paid-tier feature and the cleanest way to remove the sense that you are sending someone to a third party.
Website embedding
Documented embedding for WordPress, Shopify, and Wix as well as generic inline and popup embeds.
Admin mobile app
An iOS and Android app for managing bookings and availability away from a desk.

Integrations and developer surface

Modest but sufficient, with an API on paid plans.
Video conferencing
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet links generated automatically per booking.
Zapier
Connects to more than 1,500 tools, which is how CRM logging and most workflow automation is achieved.
API access
A developer API for programmatic access to bookings and availability, which is more than most tools at this price offer.
CRM and accounting connections
Connections to CRM systems and accounting software, generally brokered rather than deep first-party field-mapped integrations.

Use cases

4 documented

Solo consultant on Fastmail

Calendly, Koalendar, and most rivals connect to Google, Outlook, and iCloud only, and his calendar is CalDAV.

SimplyMeet.me connects natively via CalDAV, and the free plan covers three meeting types and 50 bookings a month at zero cost.

Four-person agency qualifying inbound enquiries

Enquiries range from serious projects to time-wasters, and everything currently lands on one partner's calendar.

A routing form asks two qualifying questions and directs serious enquiries to the right partner with round-robin behind it, for $23.96 a month on Standard rather than $64 on Calendly Teams.

Operations lead scheduling a cross-functional review

Eight people, no shared availability, and the usual thread of reply-all messages about Thursday.

A poll meeting collects preferences and settles on a time without a scheduler needing everyone's calendar access, a workflow most booking-link tools do not offer at all.

Coach selling paid sessions who already uses Stripe

Does not want to adopt a new payment processor just to take a deposit on a booking.

SBpay.me brokers the existing Stripe account, so payment is collected at booking without changing merchant relationships, and SMS reminders cut the no-show rate.

Pricing

from $0 (Free Forever), then $5.99 per user per month billed annually

Freemium per-user subscription with tiers defined by user count and meetings booked per user per month rather than by meeting-type count. Annual billing discounts the monthly rate.

Free Forever$0
per month
  • 1 user
  • 3 meeting types

Billing notes

  • The meter is meetings booked per user per month, not event types. Model your actual booking volume before choosing a tier, because 100 a month on Standard is tight for a recruiter or a support lead.
  • Annual billing saves roughly a dollar or two per user per month against monthly billing on both paid tiers.
  • User count is capped per tier: 5 on Standard, 30 on Professional. Crossing those lines forces a tier change rather than simply adding seats.
  • Payments are brokered through SBpay.me, which connects your existing Stripe, PayPal, or Square account rather than requiring a new merchant relationship. SimplyMeet.me takes no percentage of its own.
  • The vendor notes explicitly that free plan features and limits are subject to change, which is honest but worth reading before building a business on the free tier.
  • Custom domain sits on the paid tiers, so free and low-tier users send links on the vendor's domain.

Value assessment: Feature for dollar, SimplyMeet.me is the strongest value in this batch for teams. Routing forms and round-robin at $5.99 per user is a capability set Calendly charges $16 for, and poll meetings are a Doodle-shaped workflow most competitors do not offer at any price. CalDAV support genuinely has no substitute for anyone outside the Google and Microsoft ecosystems. The two honest caveats are the meeting meter, which is the only per-usage cap of its kind in this batch and which punishes high-volume schedulers, and the absence of deep first-party CRM connectors, which means Zapier is doing work that Calendly does natively. For a small team that books a moderate number of meetings and wants routing, nothing here is cheaper.

Strengths & limitations

Strengths

  • Routing forms and round-robin at $5.99 to $9.99 per user, capabilities Calendly reserves for its $16 Teams plan.
  • Poll meetings for finding a time across a group, a Doodle-style workflow most booking-link tools omit entirely.
  • CalDAV support inherited from Harmonizely, which is the only realistic option for Fastmail, Zoho, and Nextcloud users in this category.
  • Payments brokered through SBpay.me connect your existing Stripe, PayPal, or Square account rather than forcing a new merchant relationship, with no vendor percentage.
  • Custom SMTP means booking emails come from your own domain and deliverability is under your control, which is rare at this price.
  • Backed by SimplyBook.me Ltd, an established booking software company rather than a one-person side project, with a sibling product covering service businesses if you outgrow this one.
  • A published API on paid plans, plus Zapier to more than 1,500 tools, giving more programmatic surface than most tools at this price.

Limitations

  • Meetings are metered per user per month (50 free, 100 on Standard, 500 on Professional), which is the only volume cap in this batch and a genuine constraint for heavy schedulers.
  • User counts are capped per tier at 5 and 30, so growth forces tier jumps rather than incremental seat additions.
  • No deep first-party CRM connectors with field mapping; HubSpot and Salesforce logging runs through Zapier.
  • The brand is unfamiliar to recipients, and the vendor domain on free and lower tiers means a stranger clicking your link sees a name they do not recognise.
  • The vendor states explicitly that free plan features and limits may change, so the free tier is not a guarantee.
  • No published SOC 2 report or enterprise identity controls on self-serve tiers, which blocks it in formal procurement.
  • It cannot run a service business: no point of sale, no inventory, no memberships, no staff commission, no real resource modelling.

Head-to-head comparisons

6 alternatives

SimplyMeet.me vs Koalendar

from $0 (Free Forever), then $6.99 per seat per month on annual billing

The closest peer in this batch. Koalendar free gives unlimited booking pages, unlimited bookings, and two calendars; SimplyMeet.me free gives three meeting types and 50 meetings but adds CalDAV. On paid plans SimplyMeet.me is cheaper ($5.99 versus $6.99) and adds routing forms and poll meetings that Koalendar lacks, while Koalendar has broader payment methods and no meeting meter at all. Pick Koalendar if free has to carry you or you book heavily; pick SimplyMeet.me if you need routing, polls, or CalDAV.

SimplyMeet.me vs Calendly

from $0 (Free), then $10 per seat per month (Standard, billed monthly)

Calendly free allows one event type and one calendar; Standard is $10 and Teams $16, with routing forms only from Teams. SimplyMeet.me gives routing at $5.99 and polls at any paid tier. Calendly wins on brand recognition, native CRM connectors with field mapping, and the depth of its inbound routing stack. SimplyMeet.me wins on price by a wide margin and on calendar breadth. If nobody in your business says the word Salesforce, the saving is real.

SimplyMeet.me vs SimplyBook.me

from €0 (Free), then €11.90 per month billed annually (Basic)

Same parent company, different job. SimplyBook.me is a full appointment booking system for service businesses with staff, services, resources, and a modular feature catalogue priced on booking volume. SimplyMeet.me is the lightweight meeting-link sibling. If you have a service menu and staff, you want SimplyBook.me. If you want people to book a call with you, you want this. The shared vendor makes moving between them straightforward.

Full SimplyMeet.me vs SimplyBook.me comparison

SimplyMeet.me vs Picktime

from $0 (Free), then around $3 per user per month billed annually

Picktime's free plan covers 3 team members, 3 resources, 2 locations, and unlimited appointments, and it models rooms and classes that SimplyMeet.me does not. SimplyMeet.me is a cleaner meeting scheduler with routing forms, polls, and CalDAV. Choose Picktime if physical resources and staff are part of the booking; SimplyMeet.me if the booking is a call.

Full SimplyMeet.me vs Picktime comparison

SimplyMeet.me vs Doodle

from $0 (Free), then $11 per user per month billed annually (Pro)

Doodle is the incumbent for group polls and does that job with the most name recognition. SimplyMeet.me includes poll meetings alongside a full booking-page product, so a team that needs both stops paying for two tools. Doodle remains easier to send to people outside your organisation who already know what a Doodle is; SimplyMeet.me is better value if polls are one of several things you need.

Full SimplyMeet.me vs Doodle comparison

SimplyMeet.me vs Cronofy

from Free developer account, then around $139 per month for the entry API plan

Different buyers. Cronofy sells calendar and scheduling infrastructure to developers embedding availability inside their own software, with a developer API from $139 a month, and a Scheduler product around £12 per seat. SimplyMeet.me sells a finished booking page for $5.99 a user. If you are shipping scheduling inside a product, SimplyMeet.me is not a candidate; if you need people to book time with you, Cronofy is the wrong shape and the wrong price.

Implementation & onboarding

Setup time
Fifteen minutes for a solo user: connect a calendar, define meeting types, share the link. A team with routing forms should budget an hour or two to design the qualifying questions and the routing logic properly.
Learning curve
Low for basic booking. Routing forms and poll meetings take a little thought because they involve designing a flow rather than filling in a form, but neither is complicated.
Onboarding
Fully self-serve on Free, Standard, and Professional with a 14-day trial on paid tiers. Only Enterprise involves a sales conversation, and that is what the dedicated account manager and phone support are for.
Migration notes
Meeting types are recreated by hand rather than imported from another scheduler, which for most users is under half an hour. Because the calendar is the system of record, existing booked meetings are unaffected by the switch. The real work is updating published links, and if you take a custom domain on a paid plan you should set that up before distributing links so you are not changing them twice. Users arriving from Harmonizely are already on this product; the rebrand was a relaunch of the same service, not a migration.

Platform, API & security

Platforms
Web applicationiOS and Android admin appMobile responsive booking pagesWebsite embeds for WordPress, Shopify, and Wix
API
A developer API is available on paid plans for programmatic access to bookings and availability, alongside Zapier for connecting more than 1,500 tools. Custom SMTP allows outbound booking email to run through your own mail server.
Compliance
GDPR
Data residency
Not published as a configurable option on self-serve tiers.
SSO
Not a headline feature of the published self-serve plans; Enterprise is quoted and negotiated individually.
Security notes
Calendar connections use OAuth for Google and Microsoft and standard CalDAV authentication for other providers. Custom SMTP keeps booking email inside your own infrastructure. There is no published SOC 2 Type 2 report, which is a limitation in formal procurement.

Frequently asked questions

10 questions

What is SimplyMeet.me?

SimplyMeet.me is a meeting scheduling tool for individuals and small teams. It creates booking pages from your calendar availability, distributes bookings round robin across a team, routes enquirers to the right person through qualifying forms, runs group polls, collects payment, and sends email and SMS reminders.

Is SimplyMeet.me the same as Harmonizely?

Yes. Harmonizely was acquired by SimplyBook.me Ltd in June 2021 and relaunched as SimplyMeet.me, on the grounds that the old brand did not fit the company's product family. It is the same service under a new name, and it kept Harmonizely's broad CalDAV calendar support, which remains its most distinctive technical feature.

What does the free plan include and where does it stop?

Free covers one user, three meeting types, and 50 meetings a month, with booking pages, reminders, and full calendar integration including CalDAV. The limit is meetings booked rather than event types, so it suits someone with several meeting shapes and modest volume. Paid plans start at $5.99 per user per month billed annually.

How much does SimplyMeet.me cost?

Free is $0 for one user. Standard is $5.99 per user per month billed annually ($6.99 monthly) for up to 5 users with 100 meetings per user per month. Professional is $9.99 annually ($11.99 monthly) for up to 30 users with 500 meetings per user per month. Enterprise is quoted and removes all limits.

Does SimplyMeet.me support lead routing?

Yes. Routing forms ask qualifying questions and match the enquirer to the appropriate team member's availability, which is a capability Calendly reserves for its $16 per seat Teams plan. Combined with round-robin distribution, it covers most of what a small sales team needs from inbound scheduling short of a dedicated routing product.

Which calendars does it connect to?

Google, Microsoft Outlook and Office 365, iCloud, and generic CalDAV. That last one is the reason people choose it: Fastmail, Zoho, Nextcloud, and other CalDAV systems are simply unsupported by most competitors, and this is the practical option for anyone outside the Google and Microsoft ecosystems.

How does payment collection work?

Through SBpay.me, the parent company's payments layer, which brokers Stripe, PayPal, Square, and other processors. You keep your existing merchant relationship rather than adopting a new one, and SimplyMeet.me takes no percentage of its own on top of the processor's rate.

What are poll meetings?

A Doodle-style workflow: you propose several times, participants indicate which work for them, and you confirm the winner. It solves the case where nobody has shared calendar access and fixed availability is not the answer. Most booking-link products do not include this at all, so a team that needs both stops paying for two tools.

Can SimplyMeet.me run a salon or clinic?

No, and it should not be asked to. It has no point of sale, no inventory, no memberships, no staff commission, and no real room or equipment modelling. The same company sells SimplyBook.me for exactly that job, which makes moving between the two straightforward if you picked wrong.

What is the biggest reason not to buy it?

The meeting meter. 50 a month on free and 100 per user on Standard is a real cap, and a recruiter, support lead, or busy consultant will hit it. Koalendar, Cal.com, and Calendly do not meter bookings at all. Model your actual monthly volume before choosing a tier, because the upgrade path here is volume rather than features.

Editorial verdict

SimplyMeet.me is the price-to-capability winner among booking links for small teams, and the only sane option for anyone on a CalDAV calendar. Routing forms and round-robin at $5.99 per user undercut Calendly's $16 Teams plan by a factor of nearly three, poll meetings remove the need for a separate Doodle subscription, and payments run through your own Stripe or PayPal account with no vendor cut. The catch is the meeting meter, which is the only usage cap in this batch: 50 a month free and 100 per user on Standard will not survive a busy recruiter. Buy it if you are a small team that needs routing and books a moderate volume. Choose Koalendar instead if you book heavily and want no meter, Calendly if a native Salesforce connector is non-negotiable, and SimplyBook.me from the same vendor if it turns out you actually have staff, rooms, and a service menu.
