TimeTree

Cozi

• The free version shows ads and only lets you enter events for the next 30 days; Cozi Gold gives unlimited future calendar access.
• Month view on mobile, calendar search, change notifications and the birthday tracker need Cozi Gold.
• Everyone on an account signs in with one shared password and has full access to its data; Cozi offers no restricted-access option.
• Connections to Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar are read-only feeds, not two-way sync.

TimeTree

• The free version shows ads; removing them requires Premium.
• Attaching PDFs and other files, the vertical hour-by-hour view and event priority are Premium-only.
• TimeTree notes that Premium pricing varies by region and currency and points buyers to the App Store or Google Play for the exact price.
• The App Store listing covers iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple Vision; computers use the web version rather than a desktop app.
