Where they pull apart

Chili Piper

Stands out: Router plus calendar: inbound forms become the right rep's calendar without a BDR playing air traffic control.

Watch out: The $45/seat figure is extra seats on a $15,000/year Routing & Scheduling floor (15 seats included). ChiliCal standalone is $12/user/month with a 200-seat minimum. This is not interview scheduling like GoodTime.

Not the right fit for

TA teams booking candidate interviews
SMBs that wanted Calendly at $10/seat
Buyers who thought $45/seat was the floor

Default

Stands out: An MCP server lets agents read logs, write fields, and trigger routing and enrichment workflows.

Watch out: Published prices are annual. Routing seats are $45/user/mo extra. Extra enrichment credits are $0.10 each.

Not the right fit for

Early teams that cannot spend $15,000 per year
Solo reps who only need a calendar link
