Question 1

Is Cal Clear really free forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cal Clear's free plan is permanent — 1 booking link, unlimited calendar connections, anti-spam, buffer time, and auto-delete. No credit card, no expiry, no feature removals.

Question 2

How does Cal Clear prevent double booking?

Accepted Answer

Cal Clear reads free/busy from Google Calendar and Outlook in real-time across every connected account (work Gmail, personal Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365) every time someone loads your booking page. If any calendar shows busy, the slot is hidden. This prevents double bookings that tools like Calendly's free plan can't catch.

Question 3

Does Cal Clear track visitors on my booking page?

Accepted Answer

No. Cal Clear intentionally excludes Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and all other third-party analytics scripts from booking pages. From your calendar we use free/busy to check conflicts and your calendar list to pick which calendars count, and we add confirmed bookings as events. We never read your event titles or descriptions.

Question 4

How is Cal Clear different from Calendly?

Accepted Answer

Cal Clear checks unlimited Google and Outlook calendars on the free plan (Calendly only checks 1). Cal Clear has zero tracking on booking pages (Calendly's booking pages ask guests to accept analytics and marketing cookies). Cal Clear has an invisible anti-spam CAPTCHA on by default (Calendly offers email verification instead). Cal Clear costs $0.99/mo for Pro vs Calendly's $10–12/seat/mo.

Question 5

Can I connect multiple Google and Outlook accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all accounts, all plans, including free. Connect your work Google Workspace account, personal Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, or any number of each. Cal Clear merges all the calendars you choose into one availability view.

Question 6

Does Cal Clear work with Outlook and Microsoft 365?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can sign in or sign up with Microsoft, and connect any number of Outlook and Microsoft 365 calendars on every plan, including free. Cal Clear reads free/busy, lets you choose which calendars count, and writes the booked event to one calendar. It never reads event titles, descriptions or email. Personal Outlook.com accounts work for calendars; Microsoft Teams links need a work or school Microsoft 365 account.

Question 7

Do I need my IT admin's approval?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. Some workplaces require an IT admin to approve Cal Clear once before anyone in the organisation can connect, and admins can approve it for the whole organisation. If you see an approval request when connecting, see the Outlook help page at https://calclear.app/help/outlook for what to send your admin.

Question 8

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

About 2 minutes. Sign in with Google or Microsoft, connect your calendars, set your working hours, and you get a shareable booking link. No configuration wizard, no onboarding call required.

Scheduling that checks all your calendars. Zero tracking. Free forever.
