Calendly alternative with website, payments and AI replies
A booking link is where Kadaleo starts, not where it ends. Kadaleo gives a service business everything around the appointment: a website with online booking, an AI agent that answers the messages that come before a booking, bookings and payments with staff and resources, and one record for every customer. Below is why that matters, then the two tools side by side.
Why Kadaleo instead of Calendly
Booking made for a team and its rooms
Services, staff and resources, available times and rescheduling, with Google Calendar sync. Customers book the right person or chair for the service they choose.
Customers book where they already write
The AI agent answers in WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and email, in the customer's language, and books an open slot in the chat.
A whole website, not only a link
Kadaleo builds your website from your details, with booking built in, SEO settings and your own domain.
Payments for the whole visit
Deposits, payment links, invoices and refunds through Stripe, with cards and MB WAY. The paid status stays on the customer's record.
Customers you keep
One record with history, deals and tasks. Kadaleo can ask for feedback and send one invitation to book again, only to customers who agreed.
Social media in the same place
A month of posts planned around your goal and published to eight networks after your approval. See the social media planner.

How it works
Decide what the link has to do
A link for meetings between colleagues is one job. A booking page that shows services, prices and the right person's open times, takes a deposit and knows the customer is another.
Set up services and available times
Add your services, staff and resources and your available times. Visitors pick a service and an available time.
Connect Google Calendar
Google Calendar shows when you are busy elsewhere, and confirmed bookings appear in your calendar.
Add payment
Connect Stripe to send a payment link, ask for a deposit or send an invoice, with cards and MB WAY.
Replace the link where you share it
Put the booking page on your Kadaleo site, your Instagram bio or your messages. The agent can also offer the same open times in chat.
What is included
A booking page that is a website
Built from your details and photos, with online booking built in and editable on the page.
Services, staff and resources
Available times and rescheduling, so a visit takes an open slot with the right person or resource.
The customer behind the booking
Every booking becomes a contact with its history, deals and tasks.
Payments through Stripe
Payment links, deposits, invoices and refunds, with cards and MB WAY.
An agent for the messages
It answers in WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and email, and books open slots.
Follow-up after the visit
A feedback request and one invitation to book again, only to customers who agreed.
What it connects to
Google Calendar for your busy times and confirmed bookings, Stripe for payments, and your messaging accounts for the Inbox and the agent.
Honest notes and limits
- Calendly may suit you better for pure meeting scheduling: its site lists several calendar connections including Google, Outlook and Office 365, team scheduling and routing, and integrations with tools such as HubSpot and Salesforce. Kadaleo connects to Google Calendar.
- Kadaleo is for businesses that sell services to customers. It is not a tool for routing sales meetings between a team's calendars.
- Your website has no AI chat. It takes online bookings, and the Kadaleo agent answers in your messaging channels.
- AI replies and automation are on during the trial and on a paid plan. On the free plan they are paused, while your site and online booking stay online.
How it fits the rest of Kadaleo
- Booking, website and AI replies for independent professionals: One person, one calendar, and the booking, payment and messages around it.
- How to sync online bookings with Google Calendar: What Google Calendar does for your bookings in Kadaleo.
- How to take deposits and payment links: Take a deposit or a payment link for a booking.
- AI website builder with online booking: The site that replaces a bare booking link.
Pricing
Kadaleo plans start from €49 per month + VAT. The trial needs no card, and your site and online booking stay online on the free plan after it. See pricing
