## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order:
> 
> **1. Cal.com** - My default pick for most remote teams now. Open source, self-hostable if you care about data residency, and it handles the hard team cases well: round-robin assignment, collective availability (find a slot that works for 4 people across 3 time zones), routing forms, payments at booking, recurring events. It's the one that's been genuinely eating Calendly's lunch on features rather than just on price. Free for individuals, ~$15/user/mo for teams.
> 
> **2. Calendly** - Still the safe institutional choice. 100+ integrations, mature admin controls, and the one your clients and candidates already know how to use, which matters more than people admit for external-facing scheduling. The interface feels dated next to Cal.com and it's pricier per seat, but nobody gets fired for picking it. Teams plan ~$16/user/mo.
> 
> **3. Google Calendar or Outlook's built-in booking pages** - Worth checking before you buy anything. Google's Appointment Schedules and Microsoft Bookings cover basic "let people book me" needs at no extra cost, and if your team is fully on one suite, time zone display and Find-a-Time already work.
