Limits worth knowing in GroupCal

  • A plan covers the calendars its buyer owns, so prices are per calendar owner, not per member; members and admins of those calendars pay nothing.
  • The free plan allows 1 admin and has no permission controls. More admins start at Team ($50 per month, billed annually).
  • The REST API, webhooks and white-labeled apps are limited to Enterprise, which has custom pricing.
  • Accounts are tied to a phone number: the guide says to sign in with the same number on every device.
