DITCHING
CALENDLY.

Why I traded a $15/month subscription for a custom-built, zero-cost booking system that actually fits a teacher's schedule.

The Breaking Point

For years, I relied on Calendly. It worked—until the "freemium" creep hit. When connecting more than one calendar became a premium feature, I hit a wall. I'm an EdTech Coordinator, not a corporate consultancy. I didn't need Salesforce integrations; I needed a way for staff to book a 20-minute slot during Period 4.

Working with Claude AI, I built exactly what I needed in a single afternoon. No bloatware. No feature creep. Just my availability, a password-protected admin panel, and instant notifications via Make.com.
