I want to start by saying I really appreciate what the team at TidyCal has built. It’s a clean, simple, and very cost effective scheduling tool that does exactly what it’s designed to do. If you are looking for something straightforward without a lot of complexity, it’s honestly a great option.

I’m sharing this more as a helpful heads up for others so you can go in with the right expectations.

At this price point, it really is a no brainer for an individual user. Where I ran into some confusion was with the Agency Plan. I purchased it thinking it would include multiple user licenses for my team. In reality, each team member still needs their own individual account.

That may not be a big deal at $29 per user, but it does change how you think about the value of the Agency Plan versus just purchasing individual plans. The setup process also felt a bit cumbersome, and it wasn’t until I reached out to support that I fully understood how it was structured.

To be fair, I take responsibility for not fully understanding the plan details upfront. That said, I think others might make the same assumption I did, so it’s worth calling out.

Once I realized the Agency Plan wasn’t the right fit for what I needed, I decided to cancel and explore other options. If the plan had included user licenses, I likely would have stayed.

Overall, TidyCal is a great product for simple scheduling needs and delivers strong value for the price. I just wanted to share my experience in case you are evaluating the Agency Plan with team usage in mind so you can make the best decision for your setup.
