What is the best free Calendly alternative?

Cal.com's cloud free tier and Zcal cover the basic booking link well. Koalendar is another simple free option. If you want to self-host, Cal.com is the strongest open-source choice.

Do scheduling tools work with multiple calendars?

Most connect Google, Outlook and iCloud calendars and check for conflicts across them. Team routing and round-robin assignment are usually paid features, so confirm them before moving a sales team.

Can I embed a booking page on my site?

Yes. Calendly, Cal.com, SavvyCal and Zcal all provide embeds. Test the mobile experience and the confirmation email before publishing, because those are the two places booking flows usually break.
