For: Most people

Google Calendar is free with a personal Google Account and runs on the web, iPhone and Android.

Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.5 from about 132,000 ratings. Know the limits: no desktop app is listed, and extra booking pages, payments and automatic email reminders need Workspace Business Standard or higher, at $14 per user a month on a 1-year commitment, or an eligible Google One plan.

What is Google Calendar?

Google Calendar is Google's online calendar for the web, Android and iOS. It is free with a personal Google Account. The business version is not sold on its own: it comes bundled in Google Workspace together with Gmail, Drive and Meet, and the higher Workspace editions add extras such as multiple appointment booking pages with payments and Gemini features that schedule from Gmail.

Google Calendar has a free plan. Paid plans start at $7 per user / month with a 1-year commitment (Workspace Business Starter). See every plan

Good for

  • 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.
