Calendly pricing 2026: every plan, per-seat cost and free plan limits
Short answer: Calendly is free for 1 event type. Paid plans are per seat: Standard is $10/month (billed yearly) or $12 (monthly), Teams is $16 or $20, and adding Notetaker & Callie (Calendly's AI notetaker and assistant) costs $8 more per seat on yearly billing, as of Sep 2026. Enterprise starts around $15,000 per year.

Source: calendly.com/pricing, as of Sep 30, 2026. Calendly sells Notetaker & Callie as an add-on to Standard or Teams ("Add Notetaker & Callie"), not as separate plans. Teams seats past 30 get a volume discount on yearly billing.
What the free plan leaves out
- Only 1 event type. A 15-minute intro call and a 60-minute session at the same time means upgrading.
- 1 connected calendar. Work and personal calendars cannot both block your availability.
- No payments. Stripe and PayPal need Standard or higher.
