Home › Free Calendly Alternative for Private Lesson Coaches
A free Calendly alternative made for lesson coaches
Calendly is the go-to tool for booking meetings, and its free plan is enough for many people. Coaches who teach lessons for a living usually hit its limits quickly: you sell lessons in packs, students cancel inside your cutoff, some sessions are small groups, and you want to send feedback after the lesson.
ProField is built only for lessons, so those parts are in the core app — and it is free to use.

What you get
- Self-booking — Open your available hours (including recurring weekly slots and days off) and students pick a time themselves. No more back-and-forth messages to find a slot.
- Lesson packs that count themselves — Issue count-based packs (e.g. 10 lessons) or period passes. One lesson is deducted with each booking, and you can see who is running low or about to expire.
- Your cancellation rules, enforced — Set your own cancel/reschedule cutoff (for example, the day before). Coaches and students get booking reminders and push notifications.
- Group lessons — Give a time slot a capacity for small-group, clinic or academy classes.
- Slow-motion video & photo feedback — Record or upload a lesson clip, slow it down, draw lines, curves and circles, and send it straight to your student’s app. Every note is kept per session.
- Your language, time zone and currency — English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and Korean, with your own time zone and lesson-fee currency.
