StackOnSale arithmetic on the prices above: 5 Calendly seats, one Acuity calendar per staff member, and SimplyBook.me's included bookings treated as monthly, which its pricing page does not state. Round robin on Calendly needs Teams: $80 a month for 5 seats.
Which one fits which buyer
Calendly: meetings rather than paid appointments. Its free plan covers one event type and one calendar connection, and round robin and lead routing are on Teams.
SimplyBook.me: the lowest price for a small team with few bookings, and a free plan for up to 50 bookings. Its price rises with bookings.
Acuity: a price that follows calendars, with no booking cap on its plan cards and payments on every plan, so a busy team of up to 6 pays $27 a month billed annually.
What we could not verify
Whether Calendly's Standard and Teams prices are in US dollars: its page states the currency for Enterprise only. Whether SimplyBook.me's included bookings reset each month. SimplyBook.me's US dollar prices on September 23, 2026, since the page showed Canadian dollars from our location. Whether any annual price holds at renewal.
