Booking widgets
Unlike Google Calendar, our software offers beautiful booking widgets that you can embed on your website. Schedule appointments, the easier way.
No more no-shows
With CalHouse you can improve the attendance for your online appointments. Our notifications and reminders help your users attend to all meetings.
No subscriptions here
Stick with the free plan or get out lifetime deal offer. Google Calendar would have you paying monthly subscriptions, and CalHouse doesn't deal with those.
People ❤️ SignHouse
+ Loved by thousands of happy users
"Helped us close an enterprise deal. Paid for itself from day 1.
Our scheduling software simply has more features to offer. Besides, you can get them for less the money you'd pay on a monthly basis for Google's Calendar app.
Schedule on any platform
CalHouse is a scheduling software designed to run properly on any platform. You can use our tool wherever you are in the world, using any of your devices. Whether you're in an office or on the go using your phone, CalHouse is there for you.
Flexible meeting lengths
Want to give your users the ability to choose different meeting lengths in the same booking link? CalHouse can, but Google Calendar can't. With Google's app, you'd have to create a new meeting link for every duration of meeting.
All calendars here
Connect all of the calendars that you're already using. With CalHouse, you can sync your Google, Apple, Outlook, and other calendars and create a hub where you have all of the scheduled events and appointments. All calendars in just one.
Various event types
With Google Calendar, you can't create so much more than just one-to-ones and group scheduling. CalHouse can do all of those, and more than just that — you can make a round robin and any other kind of meeting/conference you need.
Good question, and we're happy to answer. Obviously, we believe CalHouse is great, but we want to help you decide which scheduling software is actually the best one for your needs.
With this being said, we can keep a honest comparison between the two platforms.
Both Google Calendar and CalHouse offer one-to-one meetings, video conferences, a variety of platforms to call, and other basic features.
Though, Google's software is more restrictive and doesn't help you get as much work done as CalHouse can through the scheduling options.
Let's have a closer look at these booking apps.
Actual free plan
Google Calendar is free to use, but the feature you need most is paid: appointment scheduling. Hence, this doesn't really make Google's app really free anymore.
You can use the basic calendar features for free and create events in your calendar, but making new appointments is a paid-only fee.
On the other hand, CalHouse is a 100% free scheduling software. You can use both our calendar tools and the ones that are designed for appointment scheduling.
Obviously, there are less features on the free plan compared to the paid one, but at the end of the day, CalHouse offers generous free tools that help you get work done quick.
Compared to Google Calendar, CalHouse has a more permissive free plan.
Buy once, save forever
When talking about paid plans, Google Calendar's scheduling software starts at $6 to $21.60 per user/month, according to your plan.
If you're looking to get a scheduling software and keep it for a long time, then you might want to look at CalHouse or another app.
CalHouse has better pricing for the long run, as we run a lifetime deal offer: pay just once and use all of our features forever, without any limits or hidden fees.
Instead of paying anywhere from $6 to $21.60 per user/month at Google, use CalHouse's:
Free plan: To enjoy all of our scheduling features against no charge;
Lifetime deal: To forever-use our software by paying just once.
Lifetime pricing makes it easier for yourself as well. No need to see money flowing out of your bank account with each new month for subscriptions.
We know how you're already subscribed to many other services, because so are we. This makes CalHouse a breath of fresh air in the modern world.
Sync any calendar
Already using Google, Apple, Outlook, or Microsoft 365 Suite calendars to organise yourself?
With CalHouse, you can connect all of the calendars that you're already using. All it takes is the click of a button, and then your calendars are all going to be in one place.
Have all of your appointments and events synchronized in the same place to avoid the burnout of opening several different apps that all do the same thing.
CalHouse is your one-stop calendar app.
Avoid burnout with limitations
Never get burned out due to high demand. We're all humans, which means that we can't take more than a specific number of meetings per day.
To keep everything human, you can limit the amount of appointments you're available to take over a period of time: daily, weekly, monthly etc.
This way, you'll remain focused and more present on every meeting that you'll have. Work will also remain less of a chore!

Are your electronic signatures legal?
Our signatures are 100% legally binding, as SignHouse is built around US and International Laws concerning digital signatures. SignHouse eSignatures are on par with paper signatures, from a legal point of view!
Signing papers digitally started being equal to physical, handwritten signatures in the U.S. eSignature Act of 2000 (U.S. Federal Act) + the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (UETA). As a consequence, laws in other countries have followed suit. SignHouse is built around these laws.
Are you adding an actual eSignature or just an image?
All signatures are a real, eSignature that is 100% legally binding.
We save important, relevant data (that can be used legally in all types of situations, including in courts) such as identifiable details of a person, IP addresses, etc, just so our electronic signatures can be as valid as digital signatures can get.
What about privacy and security?
SignHouse's signatures are secure for all kinds of businesses and companies. All our signatures happen on a secure, SSL-connected domain. Documents are not made public and unique keys are generated through SignHouse so that privacy and security are at the foundation of the documents on our platform.
How do my signees get to sign with SignHouse?
We've streamlined the signing process so that your signees can sign your documents with no hurdles at all — and with the smallest amount of steps required. It can take as little as 30 seconds!
