Cal.com + Google · when not to buy
When you don't need this on Cal.com — Cal.com + Google
Worth reading before you buy anything, from us or anyone.
- If bookings already carry click IDs and reach your platforms, the work is done.
- Self-hosted Cal.com gives you database access, so reconciliation is a query rather than an export. Use that before buying anything.
- The webhook integration is well documented and open source. Your developer can read the code, which is not true of any hosted competitor.
- Check one real booking for the click ID before assuming anything is broken.
