Which one is for you
Pick One Calendar if
- Fits if your calendars are split across Google, Microsoft, iCloud and a CalDAV server
- Works for households on a mix of Android, iPhone and Windows, each device family buying its own license
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you expect one purchase to cover every device, since Android, iOS and Windows are licensed separately
- Tight if you're staying free and need to look things up, because search is Premium and history stops at 6 months
- Skip it if you want your calendar in a browser or on Linux, as neither version is listed
- Watch out: the Microsoft Store doesn't show the Windows Premium price, and printing is a Windows-only extra
- Too light for anyone wanting tasks or typed natural-language entry, which aren't listed
Pick Planyway if
- Fits if your team plans work on Trello boards
- Works for one person who wants Trello cards on a calendar
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you do not use Trello, Jira or GitHub
- Tight if you stay free, as timeline, Gantt and workload are Team, and Google two-way sync is Individual
- Watch out: only paid seats get paid features, and other board members stay on free
- Watch out: the prices read are the annual ones, and the trial length is not stated

Worth knowing

Planyway

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
