Why Use TidyCal with Youform
TidyCal has become a favorite in the AppSumo community for good reason: it does 90% of what Calendly does at a fraction of the cost. Many users get it with a one-time lifetime payment instead of monthly subscriptions.
But TidyCal alone is just a scheduling link. Youform adds everything else: lead qualification, custom forms, conditional logic, and auto-fill — creating a complete booking workflow without the monthly bills.
💰 Zero Monthly Costs
TidyCal often comes with a lifetime deal (pay once, use forever). Youform's free plan includes unlimited forms and responses. Together, you get professional scheduling + forms without recurring costs.
🎯 Qualify Before Booking
TidyCal links let anyone book. With Youform, you can ask qualifying questions first — budget, timeline, company size, specific needs — before showing your calendar. Only qualified leads get to book.
✨ Better Experience
Auto-fill name and email from form fields to TidyCal. Visitors don't enter the same info twice. More conversions, less friction, happier prospects.
The workflow:
- 1. Visitor opens your Youform
- 2. Answers qualifying questions (name, email, needs, budget)
- 3. TidyCal calendar appears embedded in the form
- 4. Name and email auto-fill from earlier answers
- 5. Visitor picks a time and books
- 6. You get form responses + TidyCal booking confirmation
The Budget-Friendly Scheduling Stack
If you're building a business on a budget (or just hate unnecessary subscriptions), this stack makes sense.
Cost Comparison
Calendly + Typeform
- Calendly Standard: $12/mo
- Typeform Basic: $25/mo
- Total: $37/month ($444/year)

- Youform: Free
- Total: $29 one-time
Same functionality. Fraction of the cost. No monthly drain on your business.
Perfect for:
- Freelancers & solopreneurs — Keep overhead low while looking professional
- Bootstrapped startups — Allocate budget to growth, not SaaS subscriptions
- Side projects — Professional booking without the professional price tag
- Consultants — More money in your pocket per client
- AppSumo lifetime deal fans — Build your whole stack with one-time payments
How to Embed TidyCal in Youform
Setup takes about 5 minutes. Here's the process.
Create Your Form
Start a new form in Youform. Add qualifying questions — name, email, what they're looking for, budget, timeline, etc.
Add the Scheduling Block
Drag in the "Scheduling" block and select TidyCal. Paste your TidyCal booking page URL.
Map Your Fields
Tell Youform which form fields contain name and email. These auto-fill in TidyCal so visitors don't re-enter their info.
Add Conditions (Optional)
Use conditional logic to show TidyCal only to qualified leads. Low budget? Wrong industry? Route them somewhere else instead of wasting your time.
Publish
Your form is live. Share the link or embed on your site. Visitors can now fill out your form and book directly through the embedded TidyCal.
Key Features for TidyCal Forms

🎯 Conditional Logic
Show TidyCal only to leads who qualify. Use form responses to gate access to your calendar. No more wasted meetings.

Even if someone leaves your form before booking, you still capture their info. Retarget abandoned leads or follow up manually — with just a TidyCal link, you'd get nothing if they leave.
