About Calday
Calday is an online booking and scheduling product for very small service businesses, operated by DUDECODE LLC, which Calday's Terms and Privacy Policy place in St. Petersburg, Florida; Calday's About page also lists an address in Lviv, Ukraine. It gives an operator a public booking page, a calendar with working hours, breaks, buffers and lead times, a client contact list, automated reminders and confirmations, and Stripe payment collection so a deposit can be taken at the time of booking. There are two plans and both prices are published: a free tier capped at one service, 100 clients and one calendar integration, and Pro at $10 a month billed yearly or $12 month to month for unlimited services and clients plus payment collection, add-on services and custom booking questions.
It is important to be precise about what Calday is, because the vendor markets it as service business management software and the product is narrower than that phrase implies. The complete plan comparison table on their own pricing page contains no quoting, no estimating, no invoicing, no job or work-order management, no dispatch, no route planning, no job photos, no timesheets and no technician seats. Their own iOS app, published in January 2026, is titled Calday: Booking & Scheduling. The homepage industry list names pressure washing, cleaners and handyman work alongside tutors, photographers, pet sitting and recruiters. The trade-specific landing pages are real and the vendor courts handyman, cleaning, pressure-washing and appliance-repair operators, but the underlying product is a booking tool.
That framing is not a criticism so much as a buying instruction. A solo operator who wants customers to self-book and pay a deposit, and who already handles quotes and invoices somewhere else, is the buyer this product is built for, at $10 to $12 a month. An operator who needs to quote a job, schedule a crew to it, capture photos on site and bill it afterwards is not, and should be reading Jobber or Housecall Pro instead. On its HVAC page, Calday says it is built for small HVAC companies that do not need enterprise platforms like ServiceTitan or FieldEdge, and its pricing FAQ names Calendly, Acuity and Square as tools people move from.

Free tier capped at 1 service, 100 clients and 1 integration. Pro is $10 a month on yearly billing (toggle 'Yearly -20%') or $12 month to month, and unlocks unlimited services and clients. A 7-day Pro trial is advertised as requiring no credit card. Month to month, with no contracts or cancellation fees.

Key features
Integrations
Pros
- + Both prices are published, with no quote-only path
Free at $0 per month and Pro at $10 a month billed yearly or $12 month to month are on the pricing page with a full feature comparison table.
- + The company and its founders are named
Calday's About page names founder Pavlo Grinevich and co-founder Yurii Teliatnyk and lists DUDECODE LLC at an address in St. Petersburg, Florida, with a second address in Lviv, Ukraine. DUDECODE LLC is also the seller of Calday's iOS app on the Apple App Store.
- + A buyer can actually buy it without talking to anyone
The homepage's Get Started and Start Free buttons link to a registration page rather than a demo request, and the Terms say you can cancel from your Billing page inside the app and can delete your account.
- + The free tier is usable rather than decorative
The $0 plan includes the booking page itself, calendar events, breaks, working hours, buffers, reminders and confirmation emails, capped at one service, 100 clients and one calendar integration. A solo operator can run a real booking page on it without paying.
Cons
- โ The customer figure is Calday's own and its basis is not stated
Calday's homepage says 'Join 2,500+ service businesses already saving hours every week' and '2,500+ service businesses across 25 industries', its pricing page says '2,500+ Service businesses taking bookings automatically', and its About page says '2,500+ Clients running their business on Calday'. None of these pages says how the figure is counted, for example sign-ups or active accounts. Verified 2026-10-09.
- โ The short Terms and Privacy addresses return 404
The addresses calday.com/terms and calday.com/privacy return HTTP 404. The Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy are at calday.com/terms-and-conditions and calday.com/privacy-policy, so read them there before you sign up. Verified 2026-10-09.
- โ The price-lock promise on the pricing page is not in the contract
The pricing FAQ says there will be no surprise hikes and that existing customers keep their current rate as long as their subscription stays active. The Terms contain no grandfathering language at all and reserve the opposite, stating that Calday reserves the right to change prices and revise the resources usage policy at any moment, and a separate entire-agreement section says the Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous written or oral agreements. Verified 2026-10-09.
- โ This is booking and scheduling, not field-service management
The complete plan comparison table has no quoting, estimating, invoicing, job or work-order management, dispatch, route planning, job photos, timesheets or technician seats. Calday's own iOS app is titled Calday: Booking & Scheduling. If you need to quote a job, bill it and track the work, Calday handles the appointment and something else has to handle the rest.
- โ Short operating history
Calday's About page says 'SINCE 2023'. Its iOS app, Calday: Booking & Scheduling, was released on 2026-01-22 and has one rating on the App Store. There is little track record yet on reliability, pricing stability or support.
Implementation
Calday's homepage says 'Set Up in 5 Minutes, Not Days', and its pricing FAQ says most solo operators are taking bookings within 15 minutes. Setup means you create a service, set working hours, connect a calendar and publish the page. There is no data migration to speak of because there is no job history, invoice ledger or customer job record to bring across, which is the flip side of the product being booking-first. Connect Stripe if you want to take deposits, since payment collection is a Pro feature and is not in the free tier. Two things to handle deliberately during signup. Read the Terms and Privacy Policy at calday.com/terms-and-conditions and calday.com/privacy-policy before you agree to them; the shorter addresses calday.com/terms and calday.com/privacy return HTTP 404 (checked 2026-10-09). And treat the pricing page's price-lock promise as marketing rather than contract, because the Terms contain no grandfathering language and reserve the right to change prices at any time. Plan for a second tool from day one. Decide before you start where quotes, invoices and job records will live, because Calday will not hold them, and retrofitting that after you have customers booking through the page is more disruptive than choosing it up front.

Watch out for
Calday's plan comparison table lists no quoting, estimating, invoicing, job or work-order management, dispatch, route planning, job photos or technician seats. It is an appointment-booking product, so anything past the booking has to live in another tool.

Frequently asked questions
Is Calday field service management software?
No. It is an appointment-booking and scheduling product. The full plan comparison on Calday's own pricing page has no quoting, estimating, invoicing, job or work-order management, dispatch, route planning, job photos or technician seats, and their own iOS app is titled Calday: Booking & Scheduling. It gives you a public booking page, a calendar, reminders, a client list and Stripe deposits. If you need to quote, schedule a crew, capture site photos and invoice, you need a field-service platform such as Jobber or Housecall Pro. Calday's own HVAC page calls Housecall Pro and Jobber mid-tier tools and says Calday is built for small HVAC companies that do not need enterprise platforms like ServiceTitan or FieldEdge.
How much does Calday cost?
There are two published plans. Free at $0 per month covers the booking page, calendar, working hours, breaks, buffers, reminders and confirmation emails, capped at one service, 100 clients and one calendar integration. Pro is $10 a month billed yearly or $12 month to month and adds unlimited services and clients, Stripe payment collection, add-on services, custom booking questions and priority support. A 7-day Pro trial is advertised as requiring no credit card. Prices verified 2026-10-08.
Who is behind Calday?
DUDECODE LLC, which Calday's Terms and Privacy Policy place in St. Petersburg, Florida. Calday's About page names founder Pavlo Grinevich and co-founder Yurii Teliatnyk and also lists an address in Lviv, Ukraine. DUDECODE LLC is the seller of Calday's iOS app on the Apple App Store.
What should I watch for when signing up to Calday?
Two things. Read the Terms and Privacy Policy at calday.com/terms-and-conditions and calday.com/privacy-policy before agreeing; the shorter addresses calday.com/terms and calday.com/privacy return a 404 (checked 2026-10-09). And the pricing page promises existing customers keep their rate if prices change, but the Terms contain no grandfathering language, reserve the right to change prices at any moment and have a separate entire-agreement clause, so treat that promise as marketing rather than contract.
