It's
become a dreaded ritual in the business world: scheduling tag.
You've finally gotten that hard-to-reach prospect to agree to a
meeting.
Now begins the tedious back and forth of figuring out a time that
works for everyone's schedule.
That's where scheduling apps come in. No longer do you have to
spend hours trying to coordinate everyone's schedules, while
still risking no-shows.
Spend your time helping your clients, not trying to reach them.
So here's a rundown of some of the best scheduling apps
available:
With clear drop-down menus and easy-to-understand prompts, this
straight-forward scheduling app is ideal for anyone working with
clients or prospects of varying technical skill.
Need some time to research or prepare for your meetings? You can
prevent invitees from booking appointments too close to your
available times (i.e. they can't schedule an appointment only 2
hours in advance).
BTW, the members of Team Mindful are big Calendly fans. A
Calendly integration is in the works for our MVP for beta users.
Web-based? Yep
Mobile App? Not yet. (Hint, hint, Calendly team
…)
If you're a small business owner in a service profession like
consulting, massage therapy, or beauty services, Setmore makes it
super-simple for clients to book appointments. You can share your
availability and services available.
For certain people, an appointment just doesn't feel real unless
they receive a reminder. Setmore offers both email and SMS
reminders. Clients can also schedule appointments using the iOS
and Android apps. Want to make it even easier for your regular
clients to book time? The contact information storage is a
favorite feature among Setmore users.

This app is recommended for those who tend to schedule
appointments involving several different people or groups. Every
user's schedule is displayed when an event is being planned,
encouraging collaboration between groups.
Doodle is a classic for a reason. With new options to schedule
multi-day events, the app has come a long way since the days
where you could click only one box at a time.
If you teach classes, lead workshops, or offer rental services,
Appointy's business-minded interface will help your prospects
enroll without a hitch.
The scheduling app, which you can use on your website as a
WordPress plugin, also supports service appointments, events,
recurring bookings, and group bookings. Great if you're in the
event planning industry.

Another superbly-designed scheduling app for personal care
professionals, Visibook will show your clients the type of
services available. They can also filter the calendar to only see
specific providers' availability.
Visibook is widely praised for its natural look and feel. The
colorful design and drop-down menus lend to an intuitive
experience on either mobile or desktop. You can also customize
the look to reflect your business branding.
Tons of online entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creative
professionals live by this super-charged scheduling app. Not only
does it allow clients to book time AND pay for your services, you
can also offer packages and gift certificates and connect Acuity
to your favorite CRM or list management software.
Something else we love about Acuity: the quirky personality of
their copy. Working from home can be a lonely experience, and
Acuity's friendly, humorous "voice" is like having the office
clown around to keep you company.

Mobile App? Yep
