Try it nowSimplicity and User Experience
Calendly has a mature interface that is familiar to many, but as more features have been added over the years, it can sometimes feel overwhelming for a new user. Novacal, on the other hand, truly shines in its simplicity, focusing on a clean and modern user interface that is incredibly intuitive to navigate. The onboarding process is seamless and fast, allowing you to connect your calendars and have a shareable booking links ready in minutes. This focus on a clutter-free, easy-to-navigate dashboard means you spend less time managing the tool and more time on what matters.
Customer Support
When you have a question or an issue, the quality of support you receive is critical. As a massive company, Calendly operates a tiered support system where free users typically have access to a help center and email support with varying response times. Novacal flips the script on support by offering incredibly fast and helpful responses to all users. What truly sets it apart is the ability to communicate directly with the development team. This direct line of communication is invaluable, as your feedback helps shape the future of the product and your issues are resolved quickly by the experts who built it.
