ORBIT vs a scheduling-only stack
Looking at Calendly? Here's what one Aivedha plan carries.
ORBIT gives every person and team a booking page backed by real calendar sync — round-robin routing, reminders, buffers and embeds — and the same subscription already includes customer support (AURA) and e-signatures (SEAL).

Fair questions
What switchers ask about ORBIT
Is ORBIT a real Calendly alternative for a team?
ORBIT covers the scheduling core those tools are known for — booking pages, calendar sync, round-robin team routing, reminders and embeds — and it ships inside one Aivedha subscription together with support (AURA) and e-signatures (SEAL).
How does round-robin scheduling work in ORBIT?
Add several hosts to one event type and ORBIT distributes incoming bookings across them based on availability, so load stays balanced.
Can I put booking on my own website?
Yes — inline embeds, popups and floating buttons are supported with a small snippet. Your page, your branding, ORBIT underneath.
What does it cost for a small team?
Raksha is $10/month for up to 3 users with 5 event types, calendar sync and email reminders. Suraksha ($45/month, up to 10 users) unlocks unlimited event types, team scheduling and round-robin — and both include AURA and SEAL.
