Where consultants lose time and money
Free advice on "quick calls"
A 15-minute chat turns into an hour of free consulting. Keep the intro call short and put a price on the real work.
Walking into calls blind
You spend the first ten minutes learning what the client does. Intake questions get you the context before the call starts.
Paying per seat to add a partner
Most schedulers charge for every person on the team. TidyCal Pro does not charge per seat.

Questions from consultants
How do I charge for a consultation?
Connect Stripe or PayPal, set a price on the booking type, and clients pay when they book. Paid bookings are on every plan, including Free.
Can I screen clients before a call?
Yes. Add intake questions to any booking type. On the Lifetime and Pro plans you can also turn on manual approval, so a request only lands on your calendar after you accept it.
Does TidyCal create Zoom or Google Meet links?
Yes, on the Lifetime and Pro plans. Connect Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams and each booking gets its own link.
Can my team share one booking page?
Yes. Agency Lifetime (up to 4 people) and Pro include a team booking page, round robin and collective bookings. Pro does not charge per seat.
