SimplyMeet.me offers low per-user pricing, iCloud and CalDAV support and poll meetings, with monthly meeting caps on its Free, Standard and Professional plans. Calenix lists unlimited 1-to-1 bookings and adds service pages, cards and signatures. We compare the two.
Quick answer
SimplyMeet.me makes client meetings easier through low per-user prices, broad calendar support including iCloud and CalDAV, and poll meetings, but its Free, Standard and Professional plans have monthly meeting caps (Enterprise is listed as unlimited). Calenix keeps 1-to-1 bookings unlimited, even on its free plan, and adds service pages, digital cards and email signatures. Small teams on a tight budget with predictable meeting numbers may prefer SimplyMeet.me; professionals who want no booking caps and a fuller client-facing setup are better served by Calenix.
What each tool is built for
SimplyMeet.me is a meeting scheduler whose site footer reads "Powered by SimplyBook.me". Where SimplyBook.me is aimed at appointment-based service businesses, SimplyMeet.me focuses on meetings: one-to-one calls, group sessions, round robin and collective meetings, and polls. It offers solution pages for sales, marketing, recruitment, education and freelancers.
Calenix focuses on the whole client journey around a meeting. Booking pages, event types, date polls, reminders and paid bookings work alongside landing and service pages, digital business cards, LinkDock and email signatures, so clients see a consistent, branded experience from the first click to the follow-up.

Meeting caps: the detail that changes the maths
SimplyMeet.me sets a monthly meeting allowance on its self-serve plans: 50 on Free, 100 per user on Standard and 500 per user on Professional. Enterprise is listed as unlimited. Calenix's pricing table lists unlimited 1-to-1 bookings on its Free, Individual and Professionals plans.
For many professionals, 100 meetings a month per person is plenty. A UK recruitment consultant running 40 candidate screens and 20 client calls a month would sit comfortably within Standard. The caps matter more for high-volume roles. A Melbourne tutoring business booking several sessions a day per tutor could approach the Standard limit, and the free plan's 50 meetings would be used quickly.
Before choosing, look at your busiest month, not your average one, and count every booking type, including short check-in calls.
Calendars, polls and group coordination
SimplyMeet.me lists support for Outlook, CalDAV, Google and iCloud calendars on all plans, with up to 4 external calendars per user on Standard and 7 on Professional. CalDAV support is useful for people on less common calendar services. Calenix connects Google, Outlook, Apple iCloud and Microsoft 365 calendars, with 1 connected calendar on Free and up to 6 on Individual.
Both tools help when a group needs to agree a time. SimplyMeet.me lists poll meetings on its paid plans, and Calenix includes date polls on every plan, including Free. We explain how polls work in our introduction to Calenix Date Polls.
Reminders and follow-up
Reminders reduce no-shows and give clients an easy way to reschedule. SimplyMeet.me lists meeting reminders and follow-ups on its paid plans, and SMS through Twilio or Nexmo, which suggests you connect a messaging provider. Its free plan does not include reminders.
Calenix includes email confirmations and basic reminders on Free, with advanced reminders and workflows from Individual, including follow-ups after the meeting. It does not currently list SMS. For tips on timing and wording, read our guide to automated meeting reminders.
A quick way to decide
Feature tables only tell part of the story. A short, structured test will show you which tool actually makes client meetings easier for you.
- Count your meetings. Add up every booking in your busiest recent month, per person. If that number is close to a plan allowance, factor in the next tier up.
- List your calendars. Note which calendar services each person uses. CalDAV users will want to confirm support before anything else.
- Decide how clients will find you. If most bookings come from a single link in an email, a focused scheduler is enough. If they come from your website, social profiles and events, a service page and digital card may matter just as much.
- Run a real booking on a phone. Book a test meeting as a client would, then check the confirmation, the calendar invitation and the reminder.
Try this with both tools during their free plan or trial. The one that produces fewer questions from your test client is usually the right choice. Ask the tester what, if anything, made them hesitate, and note it down while it is fresh.

Where SimplyMeet.me is the stronger choice
SimplyMeet.me is a strong option for small teams who want low per-user pricing and know their meeting volume. CalDAV support, a choice of PayPal, Stripe and Square for payments, routing forms and Okta SSO on Professional, and 24/5 live chat on every plan are genuine advantages. Its link to SimplyBook.me may also appeal if you use that platform.
Where Calenix is the stronger choice
Calenix is the better fit if you do not want to track meeting allowances, or if you want date polls and basic reminders without paying. Branding removal and a branded domain arrive on the Individual plan rather than the top tier, and service pages, digital business cards, LinkDock and email signatures are part of the same account.
