[ Back to all articles ](https://addcal.co/blog.md) add to calendar comparison pricing tools 6 add to calendar tools compared, with 2026 prices ================================================== By Tom •October 8, 2026 An add to calendar tool turns an event into a link or button. Someone clicks it, their calendar app opens with the event filled in, and if you move the event later their copy updates too. This post compares six of them on price and free plan limits. We make one of them (AddCal), so keep that in mind. Every number is from the vendor's own pricing page, checked on 1 October 2026. The feature lists are similar. What differs is what each tool counts: clicks, adds per event, events per month, or nothing. That's the column in the table to read first. Five of the six have a free plan. On AddEvent and SpreadEvent it caps clicks per month. On CalGet and CalendarLink it caps adds per event. On AddCal it caps new events per month, and clicks are unlimited. Trumba has no free plan. If you want a paid plan with no click cap, the cheapest is AddCal Premium at $12 a month billed yearly. After that it's SpreadEvent Pro at $27, CalGet Professional at $32 and CalendarLink Business at $39. AddEvent caps clicks on every plan, Enterprise included (25,000+ at a custom price). Side by side ------------ | Tool | Free plan | Entry paid price, billed yearly | Add to calendar clicks | API and automation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | AddCal | Unlimited clicks, 10 events a month, 100 subscribers, 50 RSVPs per event | $12 Premium ($15 monthly); $20 Business | Unlimited on every plan | REST API and MCP server on free; Zapier on Premium; webhooks on Business | | AddEvent | 100 clicks a month, then links stop; RSVP forms included | $29 Small Business ($36 monthly); $99 Professional | 2,500 on Small Business, 25,000 on Professional | API and Zapier paid only; native Mailchimp block; no documented webhooks | | CalGet | 50 adds per event, 25 RSVPs per event, 2 calendars | $16 Starter ($21 monthly) | 1,000 on Starter, 10,000 on Standard ($21), unlimited on Professional ($32) | Zapier on Standard and above | | SpreadEvent | 3 events, 100 clicks a month, 50 RSVPs per event | $27 Pro ($33 monthly) | Unlimited on Pro | REST API, Zapier and webhooks on Pro | | CalendarLink | 50 adds per event, 10 RSVPs per event, 10 subscribers | $19 Startup ($23 monthly); $39 Business | 1,000 per event on Startup, unlimited on Business | API, Zapier and Make from Startup | | Trumba | None; trial on request | $99.95 Publisher account, plus $30 per extra seat and $50 add-ons | Not metered; unlimited calendars and events | API and iCal feeds; no Zapier or webhooks listed | Eventable isn't in the table. It merged into AddEvent in 2022 and the site just redirects now. If any price here has changed, [email us](mailto:support@addcal.co) and we'll fix it. What to check before you pick one --------------------------------- Work out which cap you'll actually hit. If you run a couple of big events a year that thousands of people add, a per-event or per-month click cap is the one that bites. If you post a lot of small events, an events-per-month cap is. AddEvent and SpreadEvent count clicks per month, CalGet and CalendarLink count adds per event, AddCal counts new events per month on free and nothing on paid. Then find out what happens when you hit it. On AddEvent the add to calendar tools switch off until next month, so if it happens mid event your links are dead. The others stop counting or nag you to upgrade. Compare prices at the tier that removes the cap, since that's where you end up if an event takes off. The table has a column for it. If you create events from a form, a CRM or a script, check what the free tier lets you do before you build on it. AddEvent puts its API and Zapier on paid plans only. Ours is on free. Two more things. A subscription calendar (one feed people subscribe to once) saves re-sending links every time something changes, and RSVP forms that drop the event into the calendar on confirmation save running a second tool. And a hosted link updates for everyone when you move the event. A plain .ics file doesn't, so only use one for an event that won't change. The six tools ------------- ### 1. AddCal Ours, so I'll keep it short. Clicks and adds are unlimited on every plan, free included. The free plan is limited to 10 new events a month, 2 calendars, 100 subscribers and 50 RSVPs per event instead. Premium is $12 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly), Business is $20 ($25 monthly). The REST API, MCP server and Zoom import are on the free plan, Zapier and Smart Links start at Premium, and webhooks and reminder emails are Business. One link works out which calendar the visitor uses, and the [free generators](https://addcal.co/tools/add-to-calendar-link-generator.md) don't need an account. What we don't have: native WordPress, Webflow or Wix plugins (there's an embed snippet instead) and a drag and drop page designer. ### 2. AddEvent AddEvent is the one most people have heard of, and it has the longest integration list, including a native Mailchimp block. Every plan counts clicks. Hobby (free) gets 100 a month, then the add to calendar tools stop until next month. Small Business ($29 a month billed yearly, $36 monthly) gets 2,500 and Professional ($99, $129 monthly) gets 25,000. RSVP forms are on every plan. The API, Zapier, recurring events and analytics are paid. If the cap is why you're looking, our [AddEvent alternative page](https://addcal.co/alternatives/addevent.md) goes through it line by line. ### 3. CalGet CalGet does links, subscription calendars and RSVPs, and gets in cheaper than AddEvent. Free gives you 50 adds per event and 25 RSVPs per event across 2 calendars. Starter is $16 a month billed yearly ($21 monthly) with 1,000 adds, Standard is $21 ($28) with 10,000, and Professional is $32 ($39) with unlimited. Zapier starts at Standard. A good option if your events are small and you want the lowest paid price, just watch the caps as they grow. Side note, a few other roundups say CalGet has shut down. It hasn't. Our [CalGet comparison](https://addcal.co/alternatives/calget.md) has the detail. ### 4. SpreadEvent SpreadEvent is the newest of the six and has the simplest pricing. Free is 3 events, 100 clicks a month and 50 RSVPs per event. Then there's one Pro plan at $27 a month billed yearly ($33 monthly) with unlimited events, clicks and RSVPs, a REST API, Zapier, webhooks and SMS via Twilio. The free plan is more of a trial. If you want one paid plan with everything on and $27 is fine, it's a fair pick. ### 5. CalendarLink CalendarLink covers links, subscription calendars and RSVPs with the most billing options in the group: a free plan (50 adds per event, 10 RSVPs, 10 subscribers), Startup at $19 a month billed yearly ($23 monthly) with 1,000 adds per event, Business at $39 ($47) with unlimited adds, a $99 one-off licence for a single event, a lifetime deal, and Enterprise from $199. It has a native Make integration and Facebook and Google conversion tracking. The free plan allows unlimited events, so if you post lots of small events for free it fits better than ours. The [CalendarLink comparison](https://addcal.co/alternatives/calendarlink.md) goes line by line. ### 6. Trumba Trumba is enterprise event publishing, mostly universities and large organisations: published calendars, embeddable widgets, paid registration, room scheduling, custom objects. Standard pricing is $99.95 a month for one Publisher account with unlimited calendars and events, then $30 a month per extra seat, $50 a month each for event submission forms and custom objects, and $1 plus 1% per paid registration. Enterprise is on request, and setup is an implementation project, not a signup. It's in here because it comes up in the same searches, at the opposite end of the market. If you've inherited a Trumba calendar and want something you can set up yourself, our [Trumba comparison](https://addcal.co/alternatives/trumba.md) covers what you'd keep and what you'd lose. Which one --------- Free with unlimited clicks: AddCal. Lots of small free events: CalendarLink's free plan (unlimited events, 50 adds each) or CalGet's (50 adds per event). One paid plan with everything on: SpreadEvent Pro at $27, or AddCal Business at $20. If your whole world is Mailchimp, AddEvent has the native block. If you're a campus or a large org with an IT project budget, that's Trumba's customer, not ours. Frequently asked questions -------------------------- ### What's the best free add to calendar link generator? AddCal has the most generous free plan of the six tools compared: unlimited add to calendar clicks and adds, 10 new events a month, 2 calendars, 100 subscribers, 50 RSVPs per event, and the REST API included. The others cap clicks or adds on their free plans: AddEvent at 100 clicks a month, SpreadEvent at 100 clicks a month across 3 events, CalGet and CalendarLink at 50 adds per event. Prices and limits checked on each vendor's pricing page on 1 October 2026. ### What's a good add-to-calendar tool that doesn't cap how many clicks I get? AddCal is the only tool in this comparison with unlimited clicks on every plan, including free; its free plan limits new events a month instead. The next cheapest plans with no click cap are SpreadEvent Pro at $27 a month billed yearly, CalGet Professional at $32 and CalendarLink Business at $39. AddEvent caps clicks on every plan, Enterprise included (25,000+ at a custom price). ### What's the best tool for adding an "add to calendar" button to my website? Use a hosted link, so the event can still change after people have clicked it. AddCal, AddEvent, CalGet, SpreadEvent and CalendarLink all generate one link or button that opens the visitor's own calendar app and updates in place if you move the event. AddCal's free generator at addcal.co/tools/add-to-calendar-link-generator makes one without an account. ### How do I create a calendar link that works with Google, Apple and Outlook? Any of the hosted tools here creates one link that detects the visitor's calendar, or offers Google, Apple, Outlook, Office 365 and Yahoo as options, and serves an .ics file for everything else. On AddCal the link is free and unlimited, and the free ICS generator at addcal.co/tools/ics-generator makes a one-off file without an account. ### Which add to calendar tools have a free plan? AddCal, AddEvent, CalGet, SpreadEvent and CalendarLink have free plans. Trumba starts at $99.95 a month for a Publisher account with a trial on request. Prices and limits last checked 1 October 2026. AddEvent, CalGet, SpreadEvent, CalendarLink and Trumba are trademarks of their respective owners.

Six years later he can tell you exactly how each calendar app mangles a timezone, which is a worse party trick than it sounds. Otherwise found hanging off a rock somewhere in Australia.
