The short version

  • Only Zeeg has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Planday plus and Pro pricing not published; requires contacting sales; Zeeg single sign-on and SCIM only appear on the Scale tier at EUR 30 per user per month, so an organisation that needs identity governance for a hundred occasional bookers pays a premium tier price for every one of them.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Planday

  • Plus and Pro pricing not published; requires contacting sales
  • Starter tier requires minimum of 5 users making it unsuitable for solo operations
  • Plus plan pricing per user not specified on pricing page

Zeeg

  • Single sign-on and SCIM only appear on the Scale tier at EUR 30 per user per month, so an organisation that needs identity governance for a hundred occasional bookers pays a premium tier price for every one of them.
  • Round robin routing, which many teams treat as the basic reason to buy a team scheduler, is held back to Business at EUR 16 per user, well above where competitors place it.
  • The integration catalogue and surrounding ecosystem are much smaller than Calendly, so a workflow that depends on a niche CRM or an existing Zapier-style recipe may need building rather than switching on.
  • There are no native mobile apps, so staff manage availability and bookings through the browser, which is workable but noticeably weaker for people scheduling from the road.
  • The CRM features are light by design and will not replace a real pipeline tool, so teams risk splitting contact data between Zeeg and their actual CRM and then reconciling it.
