Cal.com

Open-source scheduling you can host yourself.

Visit Cal.com Freemium

Cal.com does what Calendly does, with the difference that the code is open and you can self-host it, which matters if you do not want your availability data on someone else's server. It handles multiple event types, round-robin routing, and calendar sync with Google and Outlook. The hosted free tier is usable for individuals.

Where it falls short

Self-hosting is real work, and setup is more involved than the commercial alternative.
