6 Best Superpeer Alternatives in 2026 (Superpeer Has Shut Down)
Superpeer built something good: a single page where people could book and pay for your time, with video built in. Then Skillshare acquired it, folded the useful parts into a course marketplace, and switched the standalone site off. If you were selling live 1:1 sessions, that is not a migration — Skillshare sells pre-recorded classes. Here are six tools that still do what Superpeer did, including our own, with honest trade-offs for each.
First, what actually happened to Superpeer?
The short version:
- March 2024 — Skillshare acquires Superpeer.
- December 2024 — superpeer.com is sunset as a standalone site and starts redirecting to Skillshare.
- January 31, 2025 — the last day to log in and withdraw remaining earnings. After that, nothing.
- Today — Skillshare hosts pre-recorded classes. Live paid 1:1 calls are not part of that product.
The lesson worth carrying to the next tool: your booking link and your client list were on somebody else's domain. Whatever you pick next, check that payments land in your own payment account and that your booking page is something you can point your own domain at.

BooknTalk — pay per booking, not per seat
Full disclosure: BooknTalk is our product, so read this section knowing that. We built it because we think the subscription model is backwards for people who sell their time. Feature-wise it covers the core scheduling workflow — booking pages, event types, availability, calendar sync, automatic Google Meet links — but the pricing works differently: there is no subscription at all. You pay a flat €1 per successful paid booking, deducted automatically via Stripe Connect. Free events are free forever, and if a client gets a refund, the €1 fee is refunded too.
Pros
- No monthly fee — a month with zero bookings costs €0.
- Unlimited event types, booking pages, and team members at no extra cost.
- Payments go directly to your Stripe account — we never hold your money.
- Google Calendar sync and auto-generated Google Meet links on every booking.
- Team members are assigned per event and only notified for their own bookings.
- Embeddable booking widget for your own website.
Cons (honestly)
- Google Calendar only — no Outlook or iCloud sync yet.
- Google Meet only — no Zoom or Microsoft Teams integration.
- Stripe is the only payment provider.
- No SMS reminders or round-robin routing.
- A younger product than the big names — smaller feature surface, fewer integrations.
Best for: coaches, consultants, tutors, and advisors who charge for sessions and live in the Google ecosystem. If most of your meetings are free internal syncs, a flat-fee tool may fit better. See our pricing and features for details.
Topmate — the creator marketplace
Topmate wraps scheduling in a creator storefront: 1:1 sessions, webinars, digital products, and testimonials on one profile page. There is no subscription — it takes a 10% commission on every sale (20% for sales through its marketplace).
Trade-offs: the commission scales with your prices: a €100 session costs €10 in fees, every time. Branding and page structure follow the Topmate format.
Best for: creators and mentors who want an audience-facing storefront and accept percentage fees for it.
Calendly — the polished incumbent
Calendly is the name everyone knows, and it earns it: setup is effortless, the booking flow is familiar to invitees, and the integration catalog is huge. Pricing runs from a limited free plan to $10/seat/month (Standard) and $16/seat/month (Teams, billed annually), with enterprise starting around $15,000/year.
Trade-offs: per-seat cost adds up fast, and the features most teams actually want — payments, round-robin, CRM routing — are gated to paid tiers.
Best for: teams that want the lowest-friction, most recognizable scheduling tool and accept subscription pricing.
Cal.com — the open-source option
Cal.com is open source and self-hostable, with a solid free plan for individuals and team plans from around $15/user/month. It has the broadest integration list of any scheduling tool and an API-first design.
Trade-offs: self-hosting requires real technical effort, and the interface can feel heavier than simpler tools.
Best for: developers and companies that want full control over their scheduling stack.
TidyCal — the lifetime-deal favorite
TidyCal (by AppSumo) flips the pricing question a different way: a $29 one-time payment for lifetime access instead of a subscription. It covers booking pages, paid sessions via Stripe or PayPal, recurring bookings, and session packages.
Trade-offs: a leaner product than the big names — fewer integrations, simpler team features, and development priorities follow the AppSumo ecosystem.
Best for: solo users who hate subscriptions and want a capable booking page for a single upfront payment.
zcal — the design-focused free tool
zcal positions itself as the beautiful, free scheduling tool: polished booking pages with photos and video intros, group polls, and a free core product that covers most individual use.
Trade-offs: payment collection and business features are much thinner than booking platforms built for paid sessions.
Best for: individuals who want the nicest-looking free booking page and rarely charge for meetings.
Why the pricing model matters more than the feature list
Superpeer never charged a subscription — it took a cut of what you earned. If that model is what you liked, the closest equivalents are Topmate, at 10% of every sale (20% through its marketplace), and BooknTalk, at a flat €1 per paid booking.
The difference is what happens as your rates rise. At €150 a session, a percentage fee takes €15 every time; a flat fee takes €1. Twenty sessions a month is €300 versus €20 — for the same booking, the same calendar invite, the same payment.
And on the part that actually stung: with BooknTalk, payments go straight to your own Stripe account through Stripe Connect. We never hold your money, so there is no balance to strand if we ever stop.
Frequently asked questions
Why look for a Superpeer alternative?
Because Superpeer no longer exists. Skillshare acquired it in March 2024, sunset the standalone site in December 2024, and closed access on January 31, 2025. Skillshare sells pre-recorded classes rather than live paid 1:1 sessions, so hosts who ran calls need a different tool.
What is the closest replacement for paid 1:1 calls?
Topmate is the closest in shape — a creator storefront with built-in payouts, funded by a 10% commission. BooknTalk is the closest in economics — your own booking page, payments straight to your Stripe account, and a flat €1 per paid booking instead of a percentage.
Does BooknTalk take a commission on my sessions?
No. It is €1 per successful paid booking, whatever the session costs. A €200 consultation costs €1, not €20. If the client is refunded, the €1 comes back too, and free events are always free.
How do I avoid losing a booking page again?
Keep the two things that are yours actually yours: take payments through your own Stripe account rather than a platform balance, and export your client list regularly. BooknTalk uses Stripe Connect, so payouts never pass through us.
