What scheduling tool do consultants use for multiple clients?

Most consultants start with Calendly per client (expensive, fragmented), progress to a calendar sync tool (leaks meeting titles), and end up doing it manually. Meetingpad was built specifically for the consultant workflow: connect every client Google Workspace as an identity, get per-client booking links with distinct Gmail senders, unified availability, and cross-calendar Busy placeholders — from one $8/mo Mac app.

How does Meetingpad handle prospects who don't have client accounts yet?

Use your personal or agency identity as the default booking link for prospect calls. Once you sign a client, add their Workspace as an identity and hand out that new link. Existing bookings on your personal link keep working.

Can Meetingpad handle hourly consulting billing?

Meetingpad handles the scheduling side (booking links, invites, availability). It doesn't do billing itself — you'd pair it with Stripe, Bonsai, Harvest, or your accounting stack. Duration and buffers on each event type help you plan for accurate time tracking.

Meetingpad for Independent Consultants

Your calendar reality as an independent consultant

3-5 concurrent clients, each with their own Google Workspace and expectation that you'll book on their calendar with their email.
Prospects who need to book intro calls but shouldn't see client meeting slots.
Your own personal calendar, which also needs to be respected.
A time-tracking obligation that means every hour counts.

Generic scheduling tools were built for one person with one job. That's not your job.

How Meetingpad fits

Install once. One Mac app in your menubar.
Connect each Google Workspace as a separate identity: your personal, and one per client.
Get one booking link per identity. Different event types (30-min intro, 60-min working session, 15-min quick check-in) can live under each identity.
Hand out the right link to the right counterpart. Prospects get your personal link. Client A's team gets Client A's link. Client B's team gets Client B's link. Each invite arrives from the correct Gmail.
Unified availability across all clients. If any calendar is busy at 3pm Thursday, all your booking pages know.
Titleless cross-calendar Busy placeholders. When someone books on any of your links, your other calendars quietly show that time as busy — without any meeting details leaking.

Why the consultant workflow needs its own tool

Calendly assumes one calendar owner. Multi-identity send-from means Calendly Teams at $16/seat/mo per identity or juggling multiple accounts. Both are expensive and fragmented.

Calendar sync tools copy events across calendars, including titles. If Client A's team ever sees "Discovery call with Client B's competitor" on their shared calendar, you have a problem.

Doing it manually takes an hour a week and still breaks when the meeting count grows.
