Entrepreneur Paul English, renowned Kayak co-founder, has launched a groundbreaking free scheduling platform that directly challenges industry leader Calendly. Supercal emerges as a powerful alternative designed to transform how professionals coordinate meetings and manage their busy schedules.
Supercal: The Next Generation Scheduling Platform
Paul English developed this innovative scheduling platform from personal experience. As a member of eight corporate boards, he frequently encountered scheduling challenges. Consequently, he created Supercal to address these pain points effectively. The platform offers comprehensive meeting coordination features completely free of charge.
Advanced Features of This Scheduling Platform
Supercal’s AI-powered system revolutionizes group scheduling. Users simply email participants while CC’ing the service’s artificial intelligence. The system then analyzes everyone’s calendars, identifies optimal meeting times, and confirms appointments automatically. This scheduling platform supports synchronization of up to six different calendars simultaneously.
Key capabilities include:
- Eight meeting types including VIP access options
- Automatic time zone detection for international participants
- Pre-meeting context forms and reminder systems
- Future Open Table integration for restaurant bookings
Competitive Advantage Over Existing Solutions
Unlike Calendly’s freemium model, this scheduling platform provides all features without cost. English emphasizes that users receive premium functionality without the $12 monthly subscription. The platform’s group scheduling capability particularly distinguishes it from competitors. Furthermore, future developments promise even more advanced meeting analytics.
Future Development Roadmap
The Supercal team plans to introduce premium subscription features while maintaining current functionality free. Future enhancements include meeting transcription analysis, speaking effectiveness feedback, and participation metrics. This scheduling platform will eventually identify unnecessary meetings and suggest cancellations when appropriate.
Availability and Platform Support
Currently available as a web application, Supercal will expand to browser extensions, email plugins, and mobile applications. The development team prioritizes cross-platform compatibility to ensure seamless user experience across all devices.
