Ari review
Ari handles email-based scheduling, with free access capped at 10 meetings total.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Ari is an AI scheduling assistant from JustCC for people who want to coordinate meetings through email. Add ari@justcc.to to a scheduling thread, and it checks connected Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 calendars, proposes available times, and can create, update, cancel, or reschedule events. It can also send proposals, confirmations, reminders, and nudges, add Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams links, and coordinate follow-up meetings. The email-first approach suits individuals who prefer to handle scheduling in their inbox rather than open a separate booking workflow.
The published monthly plans draw a clear line around volume and control. Free costs $0 per month and includes 10 meetings total, one Google and one Microsoft calendar, one booking page, and meeting links for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Basic costs $24 per month, with unlimited meetings, three booking pages with custom URLs, follow-up nudges, holds on proposed times, and Mac and iPhone apps. Premium costs $39 per month and adds unlimited calendar accounts and booking pages, Ari branding removal, custom tone and sign-off, plus day summaries, block time, and clear-a-day tools. Free is a practical starting point, but recurring scheduling beyond its meeting cap means moving to a paid plan.
Ari's platform fit centers on Gmail or Outlook and Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, with video links for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. The Mac and iPhone apps extend the workflow with meeting recording and transcription, summaries, and follow-up booking. Choose Ari if email coordination and calendar changes are the main need, especially if a free plan can cover occasional meetings. It is less suited to someone who needs more than 10 meetings without a subscription, or who does not want scheduling to run through email; Basic and Premium are the paid routes for higher volume and expanded booking controls.
