Calendly is a good product. But I don't believe it has moat or a unique offering.
Identical competitors is popping up easily by offering the exact same service. It is a simple concept and the fact is that the only innovation they can add is adding very simple bells and whistles. The barier to this industry is virtually non existing.
Nothing is stopping Google or Microsoft to build their own integrated calendly like app. Considering platform risks, I don't believe any SAAS whose core offering relies on external API to have a sustainable revenue model.
- Macacity 4y agoGoogle already has one
- JamesBarney 4y agoMicrosoft has built one too (Bookings). I think it sucks and I'm a Microsoft fanboy.
- anyfactor 4y ago> Microsoft fanboy What is your opinion about Microsoft Teams?
- JamesBarney 4y agoI think it's fine. Slack seems a little better, for instance I like their threading more. But I like how well Teams is integrated into our Azure Active Directory infrastructure.
- anyfactor 4y agoYou truly are a microsoft fan :) I have done couple of gigs for a Azure shops. It is borderline admirable how one client vehemently adhered to the MS teams. Even to the point of using Teams integrated Onenote for software design. Everything that was supposed to be written went to onenote on teams.
