Your own booking widget against SaaS.

3 ROI scenarios
Scenario 1: Solo consultant, 5-10 meetings/mo.
Calendly free: enough (1 meeting type, basic features). 0 PLN / 5 years. Lokal360: 699 PLN / 5 years. Verdict: free Calendly wins if 1 meeting type is enough and the Calendly logo does not bother you.
Scenario 2: Coach or freelancer, many meeting types, 50+/mo.
Calendly Standard: 46 PLN × 60 = 2 760 PLN / 5 years. Lokal360: 699 PLN / 5 years. Verdict: Lokal360 saves ~2 060 PLN and gives a consistent brand look. It pays for itself after 16 months.
Scenario 3: Agency, 5+ calendars, connection to HubSpot
Calendly Teams: 16 USD/person × 5 × 60 = 5 × 4 600 PLN = 23 000 PLN / 5 years. Custom Lokal360: 3 999-5 999 PLN to start plus maintenance. Verdict: Calendly Teams still wins if you make heavy use of the ready-made connections to HubSpot or Salesforce. Lokal360 is better when you want a system built for your needs.
When Calendly wins
- Ready-made connections to HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack. Calendly has over 100 of them
- Many meeting types (30 min consultation, 60 min demo, 15 min follow-up) with different rules
- Automatic meeting distribution within a team. Calendly Teams does it out of the box
- Routing forms, that is automatic meeting assignment based on the customer's answers
- The free version is enough. Calendly free is fine for one person and one meeting type
When your own widget wins
- You care about your brand, you want the customer never to leave your domain or your look
- You plan for years, the cost pays for itself after 16 months compared with Calendly Standard
- Data on your server. Sensitive data (therapist, lawyer, financial advisor)
- Your own way of working, e.g. after a booking an automatic invoice from your accounting software
- A bigger project together, a website plus a booking widget plus a customer database is one provider and one upfront cost
FAQ
Can I use Calendly and have a Lokal360 site?
Yes. An embedded Calendly widget on our site works the same way as on any other site. Stay with Calendly as long as it pays off, and then consider switching. You do not have to do everything at once.
What about Google or Outlook calendar?
The Lokal360 widget connects to Google and Outlook calendar. The sync works both ways and in real time. I set everything up during the implementation.
Is it possible to migrate data from Calendly?
Yes. Calendly lets you export your meeting history to a CSV file. I import it into your new widget. Customers get an email with the new booking link (or for 6 months we keep a redirect from the old one).
What about SMS reminders?
Lokal360 widget: cost 0.08 PLN per SMS. 100 SMS a month is 8 PLN. Calendly: SMS on the Pro plan (16 USD/mo. = ~62 PLN). With us it comes out 7 times cheaper.
Want a consistent brand look instead of Calendly?
A booking widget from 699 PLN, 2 days to implement, works for years with no subscription.
