Overview

Cronofy is a calendar synchronization API and scheduling platform founded in 2014 by engineers Adam Bird and Garry Shutler, headquartered in Nottingham, UK, with additional offices in London and Amsterdam. It provides the calendar infrastructure that other products build scheduling features on top of, connecting to Google Calendar, Microsoft 365/Outlook, Apple Calendar, and Exchange.

The company serves two audiences: end users who book meetings through Cronofy's embeddable Scheduler links, and developers who integrate Cronofy's Calendar API/SDK directly into their own product, such as an applicant tracking system or telehealth app that needs real-time availability and booking.

Key Features

Real-time, two-way calendar sync keeps busy/free status and new bookings accurate across a user's actual calendar the moment they change, rather than relying on periodic polling.

Group and round-robin scheduling supports panel interviews and team-based booking, while configurable availability rules let organizations define working hours, buffers, and booking limits.

Native integrations with recruiting and HR tools such as Greenhouse, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Zoom, Zendesk, HubSpot, and Okta make Cronofy especially popular for interview scheduling.

Pricing

Cronofy's Scheduler plans start at $15 per active seat per month (Team), scaling to $799/month billed annually for Business (up to 50 active seats plus Scheduler API access), with a custom Enterprise tier above that. Billing follows a dynamic 'pay for active users' model based on actual monthly usage rather than provisioned seats.

Separately, API-only pricing for developers starts around $139/month (Starter) and scales through Emerging (~$819/month) and Growth (~$2,399/month) tiers based on usage volume, with a custom Strategic tier for the largest integrators. A free trial is available.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Deep specialization in real-time, multi-provider calendar sync rather than a bolt-on feature of a broader product
  • Strong presence in HR tech and recruiting through integrations with major ATS platforms like Greenhouse and Lever
  • Dynamic 'active user' billing avoids paying for provisioned-but-unused seats
  • Separate API-only pricing lets pure developer integrators pay based on usage rather than per-seat Scheduler pricing

Cons

  • Business and Enterprise Scheduler tiers ($799/month and up) are significantly pricier than consumer scheduling tools like Calendly
  • API pricing tiers scale quickly with usage volume, which can be hard to predict for growing integrations
  • A $99/month minimum commitment applies to standalone use of the Meeting Agents AI feature
  • Primarily positioned for B2B and developer use cases, offering less value for individual solo schedulers
