Worth knowing
Cupla
- Cupla connects exactly two accounts. The help center says a third person, such as a child or roommate, cannot be added.
- The free version shows a partner's events and to-dos only in a limited window around today; the help center does not give its length.
- Prices are not on the website. The US App Store lists several amounts for the same subscription, plus a $39.99 item named Cupla Plus.
- Cupla AI is not on the web version, and the platform comparison says it is not yet on Android. Accounts must be created in a mobile app.
OurCal
- There is no free plan: when the trial ends the group is paused until a member subscribes.
- Each group needs its own subscription, so a family group and a work group are billed separately.
- Billing is monthly only. OurCal says annual plans were retired on August 1, 2025.
- No web or Windows app is listed, and pushing OurCal events out to other calendars is not yet available on Android.
Key features
Cupla
- Both schedules in one view
- Google, Apple, Outlook and any other calendar on the phone appear in a color-coded view of both partners, shown side by side, stacked or by month. Changes sync back to the original calendar app.
- Per-event privacy
- Each partner chooses what the other sees, so some events can be shared in full and others kept private.
- Shared to-dos and lists
- Task lists carry priorities, labels, reminders and recurring tasks, and a task can be assigned to one partner or both. A grocery list is always shared in full, even on the free version.
- Date planner and key dates
- Set a goal for how often to go on a date and get reminders to meet it. Key dates count down to anniversaries, birthdays and trips, with notices a week before, a day before and on the day.
- Cupla AI
- An assistant that reads the shared calendar, to-dos, wishlists and key dates to plan a date, find time both partners have free, or turn a typed paragraph into events and to-dos.
- Wishlists
- Links sent from TikTok, Instagram or the web are sorted into shared collections such as travel, restaurants and gift ideas. On the web version an item can be turned into an event or a to-do.
OurCal
- Chat on every event
- Each event has its own thread for messages, photos, files and notes, with reactions, replies and quotes. A separate group chat covers anything that does not belong to one event.
- Automatic change tracking
- When someone edits an event, a before-and-after update is posted automatically in the event chat and the activity feed, and reminders go to the members concerned.
- End-to-end encryption by default
- Every profile, group, calendar, event, message and file is end-to-end encrypted. The encryption is provided by Seald, whose technology is certified by ANSSI, France's cybersecurity agency.
- Calendar sync in both directions
- Google, Microsoft and Apple iCloud calendars, plus subscribed calendars, can be shared with a group. OurCal events can be pushed out to a calendar on the device from iPhone, iPad and Mac.
- Natural-language event creation
- Typing a phrase such as "Dentist Tuesday 3pm for an hour" creates the event, and reminders, to-dos and repeating events work the same way. The vendor says this runs on the device.
- Multiple groups and availability sharing
- Each group has its own calendars, members and chat, and a person can join any number of groups. Busy times can be shared group by group without revealing event details.
