A Cronofy Alternative

for Scheduling

Cronofy is powerful scheduling infrastructure, but complex to set up and expensive to scale. Meet.bot gives you the same scheduling capabilities with simpler integration, faster launch, and pay-per-meeting pricing.

Why Teams Choose Meet.bot Over Cronofy

Simpler Integration

Cronofy requires complex setup with OAuth apps, UI element configuration, and enterprise onboarding. Meet.bot gets you live the same day. Add a "Connect with Meetbot" button, receive webhook tokens, and start booking.

Pay Per Meeting, Not Per User

Cronofy charges per calendar connection or user. Meet.bot charges per meeting booked, with unlimited users at no extra cost. Your costs scale with meetings happening, not accounts connected.

No App Setup Required

With Cronofy, your users need to go through Google or Microsoft OAuth app approval. With Meet.bot, users connect their calendar in two clicks through our hosted flow. No app registration required.

AI-Native Scheduling

Meet.bot's MCP server and REST API are built for AI agents from the ground up. Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants can check availability and book meetings in natural conversation.
