# Choose on SSO eligibility before comparing sticker prices

Designed example · synthetic data. This is an authored illustration, not a recorded agent run. All organizations, people and figures are fictional.

**Method:** supplied saved pages only, captured 5 October 2026. Criteria dated 6 October; 12 users. No live browsing or purchase.

| Criterion | Calendia | SlotWise | Tempo Desk |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Listed price | Team $12/user/month, annual billing | Team $15/user/month, monthly billing; Business price not stated | Contact sales; price not stated |
| Shared team calendars | Included at Team | Included at Team | Listed; tier unclear |
| SSO | NOT STATED | Listed at Business; not established at quoted Team tier | NOT STATED |
| API | REST API at Team | Business; Team not stated | NOT STATED |

Every cell and capture date is recorded in [comparison_matrix.csv](comparison_matrix.csv). NOT STATED means the saved source does not answer it; it does not mean unavailable.

## Conditional recommendation

**If SSO is mandatory**, no option is purchase-ready from this packet. Investigate SlotWise Business first because SSO is documented there, then obtain the matching price. This is a verification priority, not an award for best product.

**If SSO is optional and annual commitment acceptable**, Calendia Team has the lowest listed normalized user rate and a documented API. Confirm access and actual contractual terms before choosing. The requirement has not been waived here.

## Cost scenarios with the tier kept visible

Calendia Team: $12 × 12 users × 12 months = **$1,728 annual commitment**, before any unstated tax or extras. SlotWise Team: $15 × 12 users = **$180 per month**, or $2,160 over twelve months only if 12 users and the price remain unchanged. Neither scenario prices SlotWise Business SSO. Tempo Desk cannot be totaled.

These are separate billing/eligibility scenarios, not comparable SSO quotes. [Questions to settle](unknowns.md).
