Meetrao vs TidyCal
TidyCal is the closest thing to Meetrao in this comparison. Both have a real free plan, both are small, and both are a booking link rather than a system. TidyCal has more features on free than Meetrao does, including paid bookings.
Its lifetime deal is the part worth taking seriously: $29 once, not per month, for group bookings, automatic Zoom and Teams links, ten calendar connections and an AI booking assistant. That is good value by any reading and this page is not going to argue with it.
The difference is what sits above free. TidyCal's custom domain is on Pro, at $12 per month or $99 per year. Meetrao's is $30 a year. If a domain of your own is the thing you want, that is the whole comparison.

Questions
Is TidyCal's lifetime deal better value than Meetrao Pro?
For what it covers, probably. $29 one-time against $30 a year is not a close comparison on price alone. It does not include a custom domain or full branding removal, both of which are on TidyCal's Pro plan at $12 per month, or $99 per year, so the answer depends entirely on whether a domain of your own is something you want.
Do both have a real free plan?
Yes, and that is unusual. TidyCal's free plan takes unlimited bookings, connects one calendar and even accepts payments, with a 1% platform fee. Meetrao's free plan takes unlimited bookings, connects one Google Calendar, and cannot take payments at all.
Can Meetrao create Zoom links?
No. It creates Google Meet links, and a meeting can also be a phone call, an address, or a link you paste in yourself. TidyCal creates Zoom, Meet and Teams links for you from its lifetime plans up.
