As another commenter noted, your site doesn't really give much away, I too would need to see screenshots or a product video. Also when I click on the Pricing link at the top it's not immediately obvious I just jumped past your product feature blurb to a #anchor. It says "All this for only $10 a month. Checkmate." and I thought, "All what?", then realised I needed to scroll up.

I have added a smooth scroll effect that should fix this, thank you.

I have this pain point. I was hoping for API docs and a live chat or contact us section... In my case, I'd like to allow customer service candidates who have passed initial skills test screeners to be prompted to select a primary and secondary scheduling slot and have those selections pushed to gcal.

I think we could help you with that, there is nothing preventing you from embedding your booking page in an iframe.

No freaking way this is worth $10/mo, especially when creating your own by embedding your Google Calendar in a web page (or in the case of my example, a Google Site page) and sharing the link is free. https://sites.google.com/site/elliottally/ I've included a link to that in my email signature for the last couple of years to solve specifically this problem and it works great. It's not particularly beautiful, but it s…

Would $5/mo be more reasonable?

All the competitors charge $10/mo or more at their starter price, and their free tier is all but unusable (some include ads).

I understand that $10/mo might seem unreasonable for some use cases.

I think $10 a month is fine. Those who value this service wont change their mind because of a few bucks.

Remember - people who will use this service will probably do it for business, they wont be teenagers, and a $10 will be nothing if the service provides any type of value at all.
