SWITCHING FROM CALENDLY?
A Calendly alternative without mandatory SMS verification at booking
Calendly asks invitees to confirm SMS opt-in before it sends text notifications. This has added friction for some businesses that book appointments on behalf of clients.
Lunacal’s standard booking flow has no mandatory six-digit SMS OTP. Clients book normally, while you manage reminders through Lunacal Workflows.
SMS consent requirements still apply. Calendly’s SMS confirmation is not required for every Calendly booking.Scheduling and reminders belong together
One place to manage the appointment, calendar and client communication.
Flexible booking pages
Share a booking link or embed scheduling on your website.
Connected calendars
Check availability across Google, Outlook and Apple calendars.
Personal and team events
Run reminders for individual sessions and team bookings.
