## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-17 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched. Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd reach for them:
> 
> ## 1. Google Calendar (Workspace) - the baseline, don't skip it
> If your team is already on Workspace, start here before buying anything. Secondary time zones, per-person working hours and working location, "find a time" across calendars, and **Appointment Schedules** (a built-in Calendly-lite booking page) cover most remote-team needs at no extra cost. Most teams buy a scheduling tool to solve a problem Google Calendar already solves.
> 
> ## 2. Calendly - the default team booking layer
> Still the most polished and the one external guests recognize. The thing you're buying for a *team* is on the **Teams** tier: round-robin (distribute meetings across reps evenly), collective scheduling (require several teammates in one slot), routing forms, and team pages. That's **$16/user/mo annual, $20 monthly**, dropping to ~$14.50 at 31-50 seats and $13 at 51-100. The cheaper Standard plan does *not* include round robin - that's the usual budgeting surprise.
