Cal.com, Inc. develops an open-source scheduling infrastructure platform that lets individuals and businesses manage appointments, bookings, and calendar workflows. The company was founded in 2021 by Philipp Vincent Krüger and Bailey Pumfleet, and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Its core product, Cal.com, is positioned as an open-source alternative to Calendly, allowing users to self-host or use a hosted cloud version.
The platform offers customizable booking pages, team scheduling, calendar integrations (including Google Calendar and Outlook), video conferencing integrations, and an API for developers to embed scheduling functionality into their own applications. Cal.com has attracted a developer-focused user base due to its open-source codebase hosted on GitHub, and has expanded into enterprise and platform offerings for companies building scheduling into their own products.
The company has raised venture funding from investors including OSS Capital, Point Nine Capital, and Peter Thiel's investment vehicles, among others, across seed and Series A rounds. Cal.com maintains an active open-source community and has grown its team to support both its hosted product and its developer platform business.

Who Cal.com, Inc. competes with, and how they differ.
The incumbent Cal.com was built as an open-source alternative to, and still the category's distribution leader. Calendly is closed-source SaaS sold per seat with no self-hosting option, while Cal.com ships a self-hostable core, an API and embeddable components aimed at developers.
Chili Piper sells inbound lead routing and instant meeting booking to revenue teams at enterprise price points, with qualification and hand-off built around the CRM. Cal.com reaches the same round-robin and routing-form use case bottom-up from a free scheduling link and undercuts it on price.
HubSpot Meetings bundles scheduling links free with the CRM, so sales teams already on HubSpot get booking pages without buying a separate tool. Cal.com competes as CRM-neutral infrastructure that integrates with whatever stack a team runs rather than pulling them onto one platform.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedSquarespace owns Acuity Scheduling, the appointment-booking incumbent for service businesses that need paid bookings, classes and intake forms alongside a website. Cal.com targets developers and B2B teams instead, and exposes scheduling as an API other products build on.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedMotion's core job is auto-planning a user's own tasks and focus time with AI, with booking links as a secondary feature. It overlaps with Cal.com on "AI scheduling assistant" demand but not on the external booking-page and scheduling-infrastructure use case Cal.com is built around.
