Create your booking pageJump to the table Free plan, no card, no trial clock.YouCanBookMe is a solid mid-market scheduler with a four-tier ladder: Free, then US$9, US$13 and US$18 per member per month as you add customization, integrations and team features. The ladder is the product strategy: each tier holds back something you probably want. Pick a Time has two rungs: a free plan with the whole scheduling feature set, and a US$9 Pro for branding, analytics and routing.
Booking page customization runs deep on the paid tiers, and its Fixed Simple pricing per member is easy to budget. Outlook and Microsoft Teams support is mature, which matters in corporate settings we do not serve yet.

What you get here that YouCanBookMe doesn't have
Session files
Every booking carries its own file space. You and the person who booked can both attach agendas, pre-reads, photos or videos, and a recurring series shares one running folder. The other side needs no account: their manage-booking link is the door. No other mainstream scheduler stores documents per session, so agendas stop drowning in chat groups and email chains.
AI meeting notes on the booking
Connect Fireflies and each recorded session's summary and action items land on the matching booking in your dashboard. The recording tool you already pay for becomes part of the booking record.
Type a time in plain words
People booking with you can type "next saturday morning" and matching open slots surface. Nobody paging through week views.
Slot stretching
When consecutive slots are free, the person booking can merge them into one longer session. A 30-minute grid can still sell a 2-hour deep-dive without you configuring a separate event type.
The free plan has no booking cap: unlimited bookings, session types on one page, group events with seat counts, recurring series, custom booking questions, date overrides, daily booking caps, email reminders at times you choose, an embed widget, meeting polls, and per-session file sharing.
Questions people ask
What does YouCanBookMe's free plan include?
One booking page with basic settings. Custom questions, tailored notifications and most integrations start at the US$9 tier, with more added at US$13 and US$18.
Does Pick a Time support Outlook like YouCanBookMe?
Not yet. Outlook is on the public roadmap; today we sync Google Calendar (multiple calendars per page). If your calendar lives in Outlook, YouCanBookMe is the better fit right now.
