TidyCal is a proprietary scheduling tool best known for its one-time lifetime-deal pricing through AppSumo rather than a recurring subscription. It covers the standard booking-page workflow — calendar sync, reminders, and payment collection via Stripe or PayPal — but it's closed source, so customization is limited to what TidyCal's settings expose.
If you want the same booking-link functionality with full source access and the option to self-host instead of relying on a third-party lifetime deal, Cal.com is the open-source equivalent.
