5 Best Reclaim AI Alternatives You Should Consider

1. OneCal

OneCal is a Calendar Automation Tool that allows users to sync multiple calendars in real-time, share scheduling links, view all their calendars in one view, and more.

What differentiates OneCal from Reclaim?

Both OneCal and Reclaim offer multi-calendar booking links that allow you to create multi-use scheduling links for others to book time with you. However, they have distinct features and functionalities that set them apart. Here are some key differentiators between OneCal and Reclaim AI:

  1. Outlook and Google Calendar Support:
    - OneCal supports both Outlook and Google Calendars, thus allowing you to synchronize multiple Outlook and Google Calendars in one go, get availability from Outlook, etc.

    ⁠- Reclaim doesn’t have support for Outlook, meaning that only be able to connect your Google Calendars. This limits users who deal with both Outlook and Google Calendar on a daily basis
  2. Multi-way calendar sync:
    ⁠- With OneCal you can simply select multiple calendars and sync them in one go, without having to create separate one-way calendar syncs. If you have 5 calendars, with OneCal, you can sync them in one sync configuration.

    -Reclaim doesn’t support multi-way syncs, meaning that if you have multiple calendars, you’ll have to create multiple one-way sync configurations. Syncing 5 calendars means that you have to create 20 one-way sync configurations.
  3. Calendar View:
    - OneCal has a Calendar View feature that allows you to view Outlook and Google Calendars in one place. This is extremely handy for calendar jugglers who work with Outlook and Google Calendar. Furthermore, when using the Calendar Sync feature, if you even open multiple calendars in one view, you’ll notice duplicate events. OneCal solves this by hiding clone events created by the OneCal calendar view.

    - Reclaim has a different approach to the Calendar View, as it calls it Planner, and it’s the main way of creating Tasks and leveraging their smart calendar features. You can only connect to Google Calendars, and easily join meetings from there.
  4. Scheduling Links:
    - OneCal offers multi-use, multi-calendar scheduling links for you to share. The scheduling links are easy to create and use and are great for one-on-one meetings. However, it might not offer the same level of team scheduling that Reclaim offers, with the Team scheduling links.

    - Reclaim has a scheduling links feature, along with the ability to create group scheduling links.
