Cal.com vs Granola

Our take

Pick Cal.com if individuals who will stay on Free $0 (1 user, unlimited event types, calendar sync, no card) while they publish a first standup link, then buy Teams at $12 per user / month billed yearly when a second booker needs a shared workspace. Pick Granola if founders and small teams who want notes from device audio and will pay when 30-day history runs out. Skip Granola if people who want a calendar bot in
