Zcal pricing

Zcal plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free Forever | Free | 6 | Entry tier |
| Pro | On request | 6 | Priced on request |
| Business | On request | 5 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Zcal feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Unlimited booking links
- Branded booking pages
- Meeting polls
- Group events
- Round robin and collective
- SMS reminders
- Paid bookings
People bring Zcal in for a consultant who runs several different meeting types and refuses to pay a subscription for the privilege of having more than one booking link, a coach or recruiter who wants a branded page with a welcome video and intake questions before the call happens, a small team that needs round robin distribution of inbound calls without buying a full sales engagement platform, anyone taking payment at the point of booking, where the stripe connection removes an invoicing step afterwards. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Zcal are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Scheduling
Too few scheduling tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Zcal badges page.
Before you pay for Zcal
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Zcal runs on web, and is published by Zcal of United States. The full record is on the Zcal review, and the rest of the category is under best scheduling tools.
