Google Calendar vs WeekCal

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

WeekCal

• iPhone and iPad users who want more control than the built-in calendar gives
• People who enter the same kinds of events often and want templates
• Color-coding a busy schedule automatically with rules

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.

WeekCal

• The App Store lists the Annual Pro Subscription at four prices from $7.49 to $39.99, and the vendor's site gives none, so the price charged is confirmed only in the app.
• All views, widgets, the Reminders view, the Join Meeting button and full Popular Calendars need a Pro subscription.
• The Google Play listing describes a shorter feature list for Android than the App Store listing does for iOS.
• No web or Windows version is listed.

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.

WeekCal

Day, agenda, month and year views

Events can be viewed by day, week, agenda, mini month, month or year, with color schemes and Dark Mode. Access to all views is part of WeekCal Pro.

Event templates and rules

Often-used events can be saved as templates, and rules assign colors or emojis to events automatically, for example by title or location.

Drag, copy and paste

Appointments are moved by dragging and can be copied and pasted, and batch operations change several events at once. Tap and hold adds an event at that time.

Works with existing calendars

Supports iCloud, Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, Outlook, Exchange ActiveSync, CalDAV and ICS subscription calendars, including shared calendars.

Popular Calendars and weather

Curated, auto-updating calendars for sports, holidays and similar topics can be added. Weather forecasts can be shown inside the calendar, and the App Store lists Weather as its own in-app purchase.

Reminders, widgets and meeting links

Pro adds a dedicated Reminders view, Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets and a Join Meeting button for virtual meetings. The app also runs on Apple Watch.
