FAQ
- Is it free?
- The Cal.com → LiveKit / Jitsi → meetily → Resend licenses are open source or fair-code. You still pay hosting (Railway or any VPS) and any APIs the stack calls. There is no Google Meet seat or task bill on this path.
- Can I migrate from Google Meet?
- Yes. Start with the workflows or data you actually use, then cut over. The Cal.com → LiveKit / Jitsi → meetily → Resend stack page has the agent prompt and the cost table; most teams rebuild the slice that matters and leave old Google Meet links until they expire.
- How do I deploy it?
- Open the Cal.com → LiveKit / Jitsi → meetily → Resend stack, copy the agent prompt, and deploy on Railway (one service, PORT, and a volume when the app needs disk). Flagship. LiveKit (Dave stack) or Jitsi for the room; meetily for minutes; Resend for the recap.
- What does this replace?
- Calendly + Zoom / Google Meet / Webex + Otter / Fathom. The published small-team estimate on this stack is $2,400 a year.
