For consultants

Two meeting types, not one, and neither of them costs anything

Consulting work starts with a twenty-minute call to find out whether there is work, and continues with ninety-minute sessions that need preparing for. Those are two different things to book and most free plans let you publish one of them.

Meetrao has no limit on meeting types. A short intro, a scoping call, a monthly review and a workshop can each have their own link, their own duration and their own description, on the free account.

What it does for you

Every meeting type you need, freeEach one gets a name, a duration, a description and its own short link, so what somebody books is already the right length. Calendly's free plan allows one, which is the wall most consultants hit first.

Notice and buffers, so a day stays workableA minimum notice period stops somebody booking your next hour. Buffers either side stop three calls landing back to back. Both are per meeting type, so a discovery call can be bookable tomorrow while a workshop needs a week.

The timezone is handled before anybody gets it wrongYour guest sees times in their own timezone, converted from yours, without being asked which one they are in. For work across regions that is the single most common source of a missed first call.

Context before the call, not afterThe booking form takes a note, and it reaches you with the booking and sits on the calendar event. Enough to arrive at a discovery call knowing what it is about.

What it will not do for you

Here rather than at the end, so anybody this rules out finds out before connecting a calendar.

It cannot take a depositNothing in Meetrao collects money, so a paid consultation has to be invoiced separately. If taking payment at the point of booking is how you work, this is the wrong tool and it is better to know now.

It reads one Google CalendarIf your availability is spread across a work calendar and a personal one, or lives in Outlook, Meetrao will offer times you are not actually free.

Every enquiry gets the same linkThere is no way to ask two qualifying questions and send an enterprise enquiry somewhere different from a one-afternoon job. Whoever opens the meeting type sees the same availability you published.

If one of those decided it for you, the page that goes into it is Meetrao vs Calendly.

Questions

How many meeting types can I publish on the free plan?

As many as you want. There is no cap, and no plan that raises one, because the limit does not exist.

Can clients book a paid consultation?

They can book the time. They cannot pay for it here. Meetrao never touches money, so the invoice is yours to send.

Can I stop people booking me tomorrow morning?

Yes. Each meeting type has a minimum notice period, so a workshop can require a week while an intro call stays bookable the next day.
