Google Calendar vs TimeTree

Google Calendar

• Anyone who already has a Google Account and wants a free calendar
• Organizations standardizing on Google Workspace for mail, files and meetings
• Taking bookings through a single free appointment page

TimeTree

• Families and couples keeping one shared schedule
• Groups that want to discuss a plan inside the event itself
• Artists, stores and local governments publishing event dates to followers

Google Calendar

• The paid version is only sold as part of Google Workspace, which also includes Gmail, Drive and Meet.
• Personal accounts and Business Starter get one booking page; extra schedules, payments and reminders need Business Standard or higher, or an eligible Google One plan.
• Time Insights and working hours and location are limited to work or school accounts, and Time Insights can only be viewed on a computer.
• No desktop app is listed; Google offers it on the web and as Android and iOS apps.

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.

Google Calendar

Appointment booking pages

Publish a page where others pick a time on your calendar. Eligible paid plans allow several schedules, Stripe payments, email verification and up to 20 co-hosts.

Shared and layered calendars

Create calendars shared with a team or a whole organization, and view several calendars together, color-coded by category.

Scheduling from Gmail with Gemini

On Workspace plans, Gemini in Gmail can suggest meeting times and add events detected in an email with one click.

Google Meet and attachments

Events can carry a Google Meet video link and attached files, so the call and its documents open from the invitation.

Time Insights and working location

Work and school accounts can see how much time goes to meetings and who they meet most, and can share working hours and location.

Tasks on the calendar

Items from Google Tasks appear on the calendar next to events.

TimeTree

Group-based shared calendars

Create a calendar, invite the members and everyone sees the same schedule. You can keep as many calendars as you need, for example one each for family, school and hobbies.

Chat inside events

Each event has its own conversation where members settle details such as time and place, and can post photos.

Memos and to-do lists

Share notes and lists with the members of a calendar, or keep a memo for a plan that has no fixed date yet.

Filters across calendars

View your own plans, family schedules and other calendars together in one view, or use filters to switch between them.

Device calendar sync

Copy events from, or sync with, the other calendars on your device, such as Google Calendar, to get started with existing data.

Public Calendar

Organizations can publish event information to followers' calendars, with scheduled posting and repeating events. TimeTree describes the public feature as free.
