Buildout Schedule vs SavvyCal
SavvyCal is the polished one — built by a respected indie founder for professionals who found the incumbent clunky. The difference is scope: they refine the scheduling handshake; we build the whole page around it.

Where SavvyCal is strong
Overlay mode is a real idea — the invitee lays their own calendar over yours and finds true mutual free time instead of guessing. Ranked availability lets you nudge people toward the slots you prefer. If your week is a wall of external meetings with other busy professionals, those two features earn the subscription.
Where we differ
SavvyCal starts at $12 a month for a single user; Buildout Schedule starts free with unlimited event types, and the paid tiers are $8 and $12 per user. Beyond price, we sell a different shape: the Rep Card puts your face, proof, and save-my-contact around the booking button, the Schedule Page puts your whole lineup on one URL, and Pocket Agent drafts the rebook when someone cancels. Scheduling is the engine, but the page is what wins the meeting.
Common questions
Does Buildout Schedule have SavvyCal’s overlay mode?
No. Invitees pick from your available slots in their own timezone — the standard flow. Overlay mode is SavvyCal’s signature and if it is the feature you need, they do it well.
Why pick Buildout Schedule over SavvyCal?
Price and scope. Free covers a working solo setup here. And if your booking link needs to sell — testimonials, proof, save-my-contact, a full schedule on one page — that page layer is the product, not an add-on.
