Every scheduling tool I tried followed the same playbook: sign up, connect your calendar, configure availability windows, set buffer times, create event types, customize confirmation emails, set up reminders, integrate with Zoom, configure your CRM webhook, and then finally get a link.
I just wanted someone to book time with me.
Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity, they're all powerful. They're also all built for teams with dedicated ops people who enjoy reading documentation. If you're a solo founder, freelancer, or small business owner, you're paying for a product that treats a booking link like a DevOps deployment.
So I built Slotably.
One flow. Five minutes. No overwhelm.
Sign up → answer a few onboarding questions → your booking page is live. Add payment collection if you need it. Share your link. Done.
No settings archaeology. No "advanced configuration" tabs hiding the thing you actually need. The whole product is built around the assumption that most people booking appointments just need: when are you free, how long, does it cost anything, confirm.
Built using Next.js and React, structured around the idea that complexity should live in the code, not the UI. The onboarding is opinionated on purpose, instead of asking you to configure everything upfront, it makes sensible defaults and gets you to a shareable link as fast as possible.
Payments are baked in, not bolted on. You don't need to figure out which plan unlocks payment collection. It's part of the core flow.
The booking page itself is clean enough that you're not embarrassed to share it — which, if you've ever sent a Calendly link and felt vaguely apologetic about it, you know matters more than it should.
The one thing I kept coming back to - Scheduling tools treat their complexity as a feature. Look at all the things you can configure! But for most people, configuration is friction. Every field you have to fill in before you can share a link is a reason to close the tab.
Slotably is the opposite bet: fewer decisions up front, working link faster, get out of your way.
