About
Koalendar is a comprehensive scheduling software designed to eliminate the back-and-forth of booking meetings. With Koalendar, users can create customizable, branded booking pages and share a single link that works for any scheduling scenario—from one-on-one appointments to group classes and team interviews. The platform syncs in real time with Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud, automatically detecting time zones and preventing double bookings. Clients see up-to-date availability without any manual effort from the host. Koalendar includes automated email and SMS reminders to reduce no-shows, follow-up messages, and prefilled booking fields for faster scheduling. For service providers who charge for their time, Koalendar offers built-in Stripe integration (on paid plans) to accept payments and deposits directly at the point of booking. Custom booking forms allow hosts to collect relevant client information before meetings, and booking pages can be embedded directly into websites. Admin controls let managers centralize scheduling rules and oversee team calendars from one dashboard. Koalendar's free forever plan includes unlimited bookings and scheduling links with no credit card required. The Pro plan unlocks payments, advanced customization, and more. It serves a wide range of industries including beauty and wellness, education, healthcare, professional services, and local businesses—making it one of the most versatile and accessible scheduling tools available.
