Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths

- Free tier is permanent for a single user
- Integrates with existing calendars rather than replacing them
Trade-offs
- Free tier is limited to one calendar and a one-week scheduling horizon
- Automatic rescheduling can surprise colleagues who see your calendar
- Only as useful as your calendar is accurate
Editors' review
Useful only if the calendar is the real constraint
If meetings genuinely consume the day, defending blocks automatically is worth the subscription. If the problem is that work is not planned at all, no scheduling tool fixes it.
Worth telling colleagues that blocks will move. People who schedule around your calendar notice when it reshuffles overnight.
Verdict
A small, specific tool that earns its price for heavily scheduled people.
