Why people leave Calendly
- Free plan is extremely limited (1 event type)
- Costs $10-16/month for features that should be free
- AI features added late (2025) — not AI-native architecture
- No iCloud Calendar support
- No Telegram or messaging-based booking
- MCP added as afterthought, not core to product
- Removing branding costs $16/month
- Uses third-party trackers that you can't verify
Why they choose mahakala.app
- Generous free tier with 3 event types (3x more than Calendly)
- Real AI with 47 trained intents — not just a wrapper
- MCP-first from day one — not bolted on after launch
- Pro at $1/mo, Expert at $5/mo — AI and MCP included at every tier
- Zero third-party trackers — verify it yourself in DevTools
- Real-time sync engine built from scratch, not a third-party integration
