Premium costs $20 monthly or $17 annual and adds Stripe payments, delegated access, custom domains and branding removal.

Is SavvyCal worth the price?
It is good value for small teams that want round robin and collective booking at the lowest price, and for consultants and salespeople who like its recipient-friendly scheduling. It gets expensive when only one or two people need Stripe payments, because the whole subscription must be Premium. Individuals who want a free booking link will not find one. At 20 users, Basic annual is $2,400 per year and Premium annual is $4,080.

Our verdict on SavvyCal
SavvyCal is a per-seat scheduling tool with public prices and a simple ladder: Basic at $10 per user per month billed annually, or $12 billed monthly, and Premium at $17 annual or $20 monthly. Round robin, collective and group booking are already on Basic, which is the main value argument against tools that put team modes on a premium tier.
The catch is the entry point. There is no free plan for booking links, because a free account only covers meeting polls and calendar connection. There is also no free trial, though a 30-day refund softens that. G2 shows 4.8 out of 5 from 36 reviews, and the main complaint is that pricing feels high for individuals.
