TimeFlux vs Calendly: Why We Built a Team-First Scheduler

By Kalman Andrasi, Founder of TimeFlux

When we looked at the scheduling market, we saw a lot of great tools for individuals. Calendly, Cal.com, and others are fantastic if you're a freelancer or a solo consultant.

But as soon as you add a second person to your team, things get complicated—and expensive.

The "Team Tax" in Scheduling

Most scheduling tools treat teams as an upsell rather than a core feature.

  • Want to let a client book "any available engineer"? Pay extra.
  • Want to route sales calls to the right person? Pay extra.
  • Want to remove the "Powered By" branding so you look professional? Pay extra.

We call this the "Team Tax." It punishes you for growing.

Enter TimeFlux: Built for Teams, Standard.

We built TimeFlux with a different philosophy: Collaboration should be standard.

Here is why engineering teams and agencies are switching to TimeFlux:

1. Round Robin is Standard

If you have a support team, you need to distribute calls evenly. In other tools, this is a premium "Professional" feature. In TimeFlux, it is standard. You can create a "Support" event type that cycles through your available team members automatically.

2. Collective Booking included

Need to book a project kickoff with a Designer AND a Developer? TimeFlux's Collective scheduling finds times when both active hosts are free. Again, no extra "per seat" tax for this basic necessity.

3. Every Booking is a Lead

We do not just put a block on your calendar. TimeFlux treats every booking as a Lead.
Our integrated dashboard shows you:

  • Who booked (and their email).
  • Any notes they left.
  • A history of their bookings with your team.

Why Switch?

If you are a team of 5, you could be paying $80-$100/month just to have basic Round Robin scheduling on other platforms.

With TimeFlux, you get the tools you need to operate as a professional team from Day 1.
