Services, not just slots
Per-service duration and price, per-provider availability, and a booking page that reads like a salon or clinic, not a meeting link.

The Calendly alternative built for salons and clinics
Calendly books meetings. dxcal books appointments for a chair-and-service business: staff, services, deposits, consent forms and recurring visits, at a flat price for the whole team.
- Commission-free
- EU-hosted, GDPR-native
- Free migration
dxcal is a Calendly alternative built for salons, spas and clinics rather than meetings. It books services with a specific provider, takes deposits on your own Stripe at 0% commission, and captures consent forms. It is not a marketplace, your client list is yours to export anytime, data is EU-hosted and GDPR-native, and pricing is one flat monthly plan.
Calendly is great for a sales call. It was never built for a salon, spa or clinic, where every booking is a specific service with a specific provider, a price, a deposit and often a consent form. dxcal is built for exactly that.
Clients pick the service and the person, pay a deposit through your own Stripe at 0% commission, and get an email reminder. You keep recurring clients on a schedule, capture timestamped consent, and own your client list, EU-hosted and GDPR-native.
Deposits and no-shows
Take a deposit or hold a card on file through your own Stripe to protect your busiest slots. You keep your rate.
Records and consent
Timestamped, versioned consent and intake forms attached to the booking, plus recurring and package appointments.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just use Calendly for my salon?
Calendly schedules meetings by time slot. A salon or clinic needs services with prices, per-provider availability, deposits, consent forms and recurring visits. dxcal is built for that, Calendly is not.
Can dxcal take a deposit like Calendly's paid tiers?
Yes, through your own Stripe at 0% commission. You can require a deposit or hold a card on file to cut no-shows, and keep your own rate.
Does dxcal sync with my calendar?
Yes. dxcal offers two-way Google Calendar sync so your availability stays accurate across everything you already use.
Is dxcal more expensive than Calendly?
dxcal is a flat monthly price for your whole team, not per-seat. For a multi-person salon or clinic it is usually cheaper, and it does far more.
