Google dropped a scheduling feature that kills Calendly

Now G-Suite users will be able to share a similar page to schedule calls, which was Calendly’s main use case.

It’s so sad to see that one small feature addition from a big organization can just kill a small company in a short amount of time.

The main surprise is that the bigger company never thought about this feature even being in the market for too long. No wonder why Microsoft is giving tough competition to them.

It’s part of g business suite. Why will someone pay for something they already get as part of Gsuite.. Look at slack vs meet/teams

Calendly will need a huge differentiator which is tough to get

Even when Google meet is free, why do people pay for zoom ? Google's scheduled won't let you schedule meetings on zoom afaik.

It had introduced a similar feature a year ago itself, but still people use calendly because it has that brand recall, very easy to share and everyone knows how it works

Lots of companies use Google workspace. It's much better for day-to-day work than the Microsoft suite

If you’ve worked in a big company, you know how much time they need to build a new feature.

So you have that time to build and scale your business. If you can’t do it then this day will surely come ..
