Everyone said don't fight Calendly. He won a niche by obsessing over the one person Calendly ignored: the guest.

Product Hunt — SavvyCal crossed $20k MRR AMAIndie Hackers Podcast #210 — taking on incumbents soloderrickreimer.com — walking away from LevelSavvyCal — company & teamSFTROU #622 — growth vs profitability
Revenue is a first-party figure: Reimer stated about $20,833 MRR (about $250K ARR) in a Product Hunt AMA and on the Startups For the Rest of Us podcast, both 2021 — labeled STATED/verified. It is almost certainly higher today but he has not updated it publicly, so I did not extrapolate. The drama (walking away from Level after a year, entering a market advisors said to avoid, audience as unfair advantage) is documented by the founder in podcasts and his own blog. The "distribution, not the feature, is the moat" reading is tagged [our read]; the overlay and #2 Product of the Month facts are first-party. No numbers were invented. We never score you.
