Our verdict on DayOtter
DayOtter is an appointment scheduling platform for individuals and teams that need shareable booking pages, calendar coordination, reminders, group polls, and team scheduling. Its booking pages support intake questions, buffers, recurring meetings, and video links. An AI assistant can handle booking, rescheduling, and focus-time protection, while routing forms direct visitors to people or booking types. It fits solo users, teams, and organizations that want either a hosted scheduler or an open-source deployment option.
The hosted Free plan costs $0 forever and includes the AI scheduling assistant, unlimited event types and booking pages, two-way sync with Google, Microsoft, and Apple calendars, group polls, email reminders, and confirmations. Pro costs $9 per seat per month, billed monthly, and adds weighted round-robin, collective team scheduling, routing forms, automations, attendee workflows, booking analytics, CSV export, SMS reminders, and Stripe payment collection. The Self-hosted plan is free open source and unlocks every Pro feature, with an AGPLv3-licensed core, Docker and docker-compose support, and data hosted on the customer's infrastructure.
DayOtter's ecosystem covers Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCloud Calendar, Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, Stripe, Salesforce, and HubSpot. Reminders can run through email, SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, mobile push, and browser push. The product is available on the web and Android, with API access and self-hosting for teams that need deployment control. Choose DayOtter for open-source flexibility, multi-channel reminders, intake and routing workflows, or integrated payments. Organizations seeking broader platform coverage may prefer an alternative.
