📎 AI time-blocking scheduling layer (not a manual booking page tool). Acquired by Dropbox in 2024, now operating as 'Reclaim.ai from Dropbox'. SOC 2 Type II. G2 4.8/5 (143 reviews). Free Lite tier has hard limits (1 Scheduling Link, 1-week horizon, 5 AI Agents) that push serious users to Starter $10/seat/mo. No zh/ja entry (probe: English-only interface).

Scores marked Verified (docs) are our editorial judgment from the vendor’s own pages and pricing — not hands-on testing. Only ★ Hands-on tested dimensions come from accounts we created and used ourselves.

Pros

  • AI continuously re-plans the week as meetings land — tasks and habits auto-reschedule without per-action approval
  • Smart 1:1 scheduling removes recurring meeting back-and-forth across attendees' live calendars
  • Scheduling Links respect buffer times and daily meeting limits, not just raw open slots (replaces a Calendly page)
  • Dropbox acquisition + SOC 2 Type II + G2 4.8/5 (143 reviews) back the vendor

Cons

  • No native mobile app as of 2026 — phone-first users need a calendar fallback
  • All data US-hosted on AWS; no EU data residency
  • No Notion / Monday / Basecamp task integrations (verified gap)
