Full disclosure, I've had the recent experience David just noted. Though, I haven't tried all of the options, yet. There might be newer, better players on the scene, as is sure to happen over time. 🤓

There is also https://cal.com/ which I did not test but found interesting. A lot of integrations and can be free if self-hosted. It is open source too.

Just like Will states, depends on requirements, what's important for you and what you really need. I've a bunch of my clients that uses Calendly and for one client in specific it works real good, he rents his offices per hour and the platform give him enough flexibility to do this and it's very easy to use and configure.
