Short answers to the questions people ask most, with links to the full guide for each.
Plans and pricing
Is DaySchedule free?
Yes. The free plan is for one person and includes one-on-one events, a booking page and one app connection, such as Google Calendar. The free plan allows two resources in total. Group, round robin, webinar, service and venue bookings, payments, reminders, workflows, the CRM and team features are on the paid plans. See Plans and billing and the pricing page.
Is there a free trial of the paid plans?
New accounts can try every Pro feature free for 7 days. You verify a card or UPI, and you aren't charged if you cancel before the trial ends.
Do my customers need a DaySchedule account to book?
No. Invitees open your booking link, pick a time and fill in the booking form. They don't sign up or log in.
Does DaySchedule take a cut of payments?
No. Payments go straight to your own Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Cashfree or Mollie account. DaySchedule charges no transaction fee, only your gateway's usual fees apply. See Accept payments.
Calendars and video
Which calendars does DaySchedule work with?
Google Calendar and Microsoft calendars: Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, live.com and Hotmail. Connect several to check them all for busy times. See Google Calendar and Outlook.
Does DaySchedule work with Apple iCloud Calendar?
There's no direct iCloud connection. Invitees can still add bookings to Apple Calendar from the confirmation email, and you can generate an .ics link for your appointments.
Which video apps are supported?
Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Zoho Meeting, Webex, GoTo Meeting and Join me. DaySchedule creates a unique meeting link for each booking. You can also use your own fixed link, a phone call or an in-person address. See Meeting locations.
Why can people book times when I'm busy?
Usually the event isn't checking calendars as per the conflict checker settings, the busy event is on a secondary calendar, or it's marked Free. See Calendar sync troubleshooting.
Booking pages and embedding
Can I put the booking calendar on my website?
Yes. Embed it with an iframe, a popup button, the WordPress plugin, or the JavaScript widget for React, Next.js, Vue and Angular. See Share and embed.
Can I remove the DaySchedule branding?
The hideHeader widget option and the hide_header WordPress attribute hide the header and the DaySchedule logo on embedded calendars. Full white-labeling is on the Enterprise plan.
Can my booking page be in another language?
Yes. By default the booking page uses the invitee's browser language. Set a fixed language on the event's Advanced tab. See Advanced event settings.
How are time zones handled?
The booking page detects each invitee's time zone and shows your slots in their local time. To show every invitee your own time zone, turn on Lock Time Zone in the event's Advanced tab. See how time zone detection works.
Can I send a link that only works once?
Yes. Expirable links stop working after one booking or on a date you choose. See Expirable links.
Bookings and reminders
Can invitees reschedule or cancel themselves?
Yes. Confirmation emails include reschedule and cancel links. Set how close to the meeting they can still change it in the reschedule and cancellation policy.
Does DaySchedule send reminders?
Yes, by email, SMS and WhatsApp on the paid plans. Switch on ready-made reminders under Automations, or build your own in Workflows. See Reminders.
Can I approve bookings before they're confirmed?
Yes. Turn on Require Approval in the event's Advanced tab. Each booking waits until you approve or reject it.
Can I export my bookings?
Yes. Download bookings to Excel from the Bookings page. See Manage bookings.
Teams
Can a team share one booking link?
Yes. A round robin event spreads bookings across team members based on their availability. A service menu lets invitees pick a service and a staff member.
Can I see my whole team's availability?
Yes, on the Team Availability tab under Availability. See Team availability.
Data, security and apps
Where is my data stored?
In the data center you choose: United States, United Kingdom or India. See Account settings and the GDPR policy.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes, for iPhone and Android. See Mobile app.
Is there an API?
Yes. The REST API covers bookings, resources, schedules and more, and authenticates with an API key. Webhooks are available through workflows, and OAuth apps connect Zapier, Make and n8n.
Can I book appointments from Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes, through the DaySchedule MCP server. See AI appointment scheduling and the MCP server guide.
How do I move from Calendly?
See Switch from Calendly to DaySchedule.
How do I delete my account?
See how to delete your DaySchedule account. Download your bookings and contacts first, because deleting the account removes them.
