If you want something simple and reliable, I’d use one of these depending on your needs:
Best all-around options
- Calendly — easiest for signups, automatic time slots, calendar syncing, reminders, and buffer times.
- Google Calendar Appointment Schedules — great if you already use Google Workspace; simple and free-ish.
If you need more control
- Airtable + Calendly form or Airtable + Google Calendar — good if you want to track questions, topics, attendance, and follow-ups.
- Typeform / Tally + scheduling link — better if you want people to submit a topic before booking.
If office hours are group-based
- Luma — good for events, recurring sessions, and attendee management.
- Eventbrite — better for larger, more formal sessions.
My recommendation
- For most developer office hours: Calendly
- If you want a lightweight free option: Google Calendar Appointment Schedules
- If you want intake questions and tracking: Tally + Calendly + Airtable
If you tell me:
- 1:1 or group office hours
- how many people you expect
- whether you need waitlists, approvals, or questions before signup
…I can recommend the best exact setup.
