Sources
Pricing page: cal.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Checked cal.com/pricing (raw HTML and WebFetch), which shows only annual Teams and Organizations prices, plus the PricingSaaS company page and its diffs 2026W10 and 2026W42. No monthly rate is published, so team10 uses annual/12, and the news search for price increases could not run (search budget used up), so the change list rests on PricingSaaS alone.
