Calendly

Calendly's moat is viral adoption: every meeting invite sent acts as a distribution loop exposing non-users to the product, built over a decade into a 20-million-user base. Enterprise admin controls and calendar integrations keep corporate accounts locked in. The threat is severe commoditization: scheduling links are simple to replicate and AI conversational assistants can negotiate meeting times directly over email or chat without links.
