I have reaplced Calendly with this cute Koalander - not only is it cute, it's effecient, clients can book directly with me, there's a free option, and the paid options are fairly affordable, especially for new small businesses
Koalendar
Fantastic for e-commerce websites, fairly easy to use and build. Options for templates.

My Go-To for email and domain hosting. There is not other company that beats their pricing, and I have most of my domains purchased through Namecheap. Great customer service, no issues with any of my accounts or their servers.

Another great tool for scheduling ❤️ I have to say I prefer Koalander to Calendly. Koalander (in my opinion) functions and syncs better with calendars (no glitches) and is starting at $0/month, with the lowest payable option being $6/month.

Another fantastic domain purchasing and hosting platform.
