This post compares seven of them on price, what they can show, and what a visitor can do with an event. We make one of them (AddCal), so keep that in mind. Every number is from the vendor's own site, checked on 30 October 2026. The first question to answer is where your events already live. If they are in a Google Calendar and you want them on a page, Google's own embed is free and takes a minute. If you want the calendar to look like your site, work on a phone, pull from Google or Outlook, and let visitors add a single event to Apple, Outlook or Google in one click, that is what the paid tools are for, and the free tiers below are where they differ. Side by side ------------ | Tool | Free plan | Entry paid price | What it can show | Visitor adds one event | Visitor subscribes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Google Calendar embed | Free, needs a public Google Calendar | None | Calendars in that Google account | Not inside the iframe; a separate Google-only "Publish event" button | Google only, via the button at the bottom left | | AddCal | Free plan covers the calendar and its public page: 10 new events a month, 100 subscribers, unlimited clicks. Embedding on your own site is Premium | $12 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly) | AddCal events plus any Google, Outlook or iCloud feed synced in, about hourly | Google, Apple, Outlook, Yahoo or an ICS file | Yes, subscribe button in the embed | | AddEvent | Hobby has no embeddable calendar; 100 clicks a month and the buttons stop | $29 a month billed yearly ($36 monthly), 2,500 clicks; branding removal from this tier | AddEvent calendars, which can import a Google or Outlook calendar | Yes, "preferred calendar service" | Yes, Follow Calendar button | | Teamup | Free: 5 sub-calendars, 5 users, inbound iCal feeds refreshed every 12 hours | Plus $12 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly); "Powered by Teamup" removed on Enterprise only ($125) | Its own sub-calendars plus inbound iCalendar feeds | Only via an add-to-calendar page the owner creates | Outbound iCal feeds, not a control in the embed | | The Events Calendar | Free WordPress plugin: month, list and day views, Google Calendar and iCal export | Pro $399 a year; Google Calendar and iCal import need the Event Aggregator add-on | WordPress events; imports with the add-on | Google Calendar link and ICS file | Not stated | | EventsCalendar.co | Free for life: 10 events, 1 external calendar, 1,000 monthly views, manual sync only | Paid prices are rendered by script and were not readable on 30 October; Enterprise from $3,000 a year | Own events plus one-way sync from Google, Outlook, Eventbrite, Zoom and iCalendar links | Google, Yahoo, Outlook or iCalendar | Not stated | | Trumba | None listed | $99.95 a month Publisher account, $30 per extra seat, $50 add-ons | Trumba calendars; visitors can search, filter, subscribe and register without leaving your site | Not verifiable; feature pages were 404 | Yes, subscribe without leaving the site | "Not stated" means the vendor's pages did not say either way on the day we checked. If a price or limit here has moved, [email us](mailto:support@addcal.co) and we will fix it. What to check before you pick one --------------------------------- **Where the events come from.** Only four of the seven can show a calendar you keep somewhere else: AddCal and Teamup pull iCal feeds, AddEvent imports Google and Outlook calendars, EventsCalendar.co syncs Google, Outlook, Eventbrite and Zoom one way. Google's embed shows Google, and The Events Calendar needs a paid add-on to import. If you will keep editing in Google Calendar, pick a tool that follows it. **What a visitor can do with one event.** The point of embedding events rather than listing them as text is that a visitor can put one in their own calendar. Google's iframe does not offer that inside the frame; the separate "Publish event" button is Google Calendar only. AddCal, AddEvent, EventsCalendar.co and The Events Calendar all offer a per-event add to calendar with Apple, Outlook or Google. **What the free tier is for.** Teamup's free plan is usable: five sub-calendars, feeds refreshed twice a day. EventsCalendar.co's free plan is small and syncs by hand. AddEvent's Hobby plan has no embed at all. AddCal's free plan gives you the calendar and its public page, and embedding on your own domain is the Premium feature; we say that plainly on the [embed page](https://addcal.co/solutions/calendar-embed.md). **What happens when it gets popular.** AddEvent counts clicks on every plan and, after a seven day grace period over the cap, the embeddable calendar redirects visitors to an error page. AddCal, Teamup and Trumba do not meter clicks. EventsCalendar.co caps monthly views per plan. **Branding.** Teamup removes "Powered by Teamup" on Enterprise only. AddEvent removes its branding from Small Business. AddCal removes it on Premium, the same plan that turns embedding on. The seven widgets ----------------- ### 1. Google Calendar embed Free, and fine for a plain calendar on a page. Make the calendar public, open its settings, copy the iframe code. The help page documents two customisation options: size, with a 500 pixel minimum each way, and whether to show navigation buttons. Visitors get Google's styling and colours, a frame that scrolls inside itself on a phone, and an "Add to Google Calendar" button at the bottom left that subscribes a Google account to the whole calendar. For a single event you add a separate "Publish event" button, also Google only. If that is enough, use it; it costs nothing and never caps anything. ### 2. AddCal Ours, so briefly. One snippet renders a responsive calendar in your colours and fonts, with month, week and schedule views and a tag filter. Every event has a one-click add for Google, Apple, Outlook, Yahoo and ICS, and there is a subscribe button for the whole calendar. You can add events by hand or paste a Google Calendar, Outlook or iCloud feed link and AddCal checks it about every hour. Creating the calendar and its public page is free, with 10 new events a month and unlimited clicks; embedding on your own site is Premium at $12 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly), which also removes branding. Setup for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and Shopify is on the [calendar embed page](https://addcal.co/solutions/calendar-embed.md). ### 3. AddEvent The most established of the hosted tools. The embeddable calendar comes with an add to calendar button and a Follow Calendar button, and you can import a Google or Outlook calendar to feed it. It is not on the free Hobby plan: Small Business at $29 a month billed yearly ($36 monthly) is the entry point, with 2,500 clicks a month and branding removal. Clicks are capped on every plan including Enterprise, and once you are over the cap for seven days the embed stops serving. Our [AddEvent comparison](https://addcal.co/alternatives/addevent.md) goes through the caps line by line. ### 4. Teamup Teamup is a shared calendar for teams first and an embed second, which is why engines recommend it for "a calendar staff can maintain". The free plan is the most generous here: five sub-calendars, five users and inbound iCal feeds refreshed every 12 hours, embedded by iframe with link parameters for the view and colours. Plus is $12 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly) with faster feed refresh. Visitors cannot add a single event from inside the embed; the owner creates an add-to-calendar page instead. "Powered by Teamup" stays until Enterprise. ### 5. The Events Calendar If your site is WordPress, this is the default. The free plugin gives month, list and day views that inherit your theme, with Google Calendar and ICS export per event. Importing from Google Calendar, iCalendar or Meetup needs Event Aggregator, and Pro is $399 a year. It is a plugin rather than a hosted widget, so it only works on WordPress, and events live in your WordPress database rather than in a calendar app. ### 6. EventsCalendar.co A hosted widget with apps for Wix, Webflow, Shopify, Canva, WordPress, Framer, Weebly and BigCommerce, and one-way sync from Google, Outlook, Eventbrite, Zoom and iCalendar links. Visitors can add an event to Google, Yahoo, Outlook or iCalendar. The free plan is 10 events, one external calendar, 1,000 monthly views and manual sync only; automatic sync is paid. We could not read the paid prices on 30 October because the pricing page renders them by script, so check it yourself; Enterprise starts at $3,000 a year. ### 7. Trumba Enterprise event publishing for universities and large organisations: published calendars, embeddable "spuds", registration, room scheduling. Visitors can search, filter, subscribe and register without leaving your site. Standard pricing is $99.95 a month for a Publisher account with unlimited calendars and events, $30 per extra seat and $50 a month per add-on, and setup is an implementation project. Most of Trumba's feature pages were 404 when we checked, so the per-event add to calendar behaviour is unverified. The [Trumba comparison](https://addcal.co/alternatives/trumba.md) covers what you keep and lose moving to something self-serve. Which one --------- A plain Google Calendar on a page, free: Google's embed. A team calendar that staff maintain and visitors just read, free: Teamup. A WordPress site that owns its events: The Events Calendar. A branded calendar that follows your Google or Outlook calendar and lets visitors add any event to any app: AddCal Premium at $12, or AddEvent Small Business at $29 if you want its Mailchimp block and can live with the click cap. A campus or large organisation with an implementation budget: Trumba. Frequently asked questions -------------------------- ### What is the best free embeddable calendar for a website? Google Calendar's own embed, if the events live in Google Calendar and Google's styling is fine. Teamup's free plan is the most generous of the hosted widgets, with five sub-calendars and inbound iCal feeds refreshed every 12 hours. The Events Calendar is free on WordPress. AddCal's free plan gives you the calendar and its public page; embedding it on your own site is Premium. ### Can I embed my Google Calendar on my website with my own branding? Not with Google's iframe, which keeps Google's colours and logo. Sync the calendar into a widget instead: AddCal and Teamup pull the calendar's secret iCal address, AddEvent imports it, and EventsCalendar.co syncs it one way. The embed then uses your colours and fonts and updates as you edit in Google Calendar. ### Which embeddable calendars let visitors add an event to their own calendar? AddCal (Google, Apple, Outlook, Yahoo, ICS), AddEvent (the visitor's preferred service), EventsCalendar.co (Google, Yahoo, Outlook, iCalendar) and The Events Calendar (Google Calendar link and ICS). Google's iframe does not offer it inside the frame, and Teamup needs a separate add-to-calendar page. ### Teamup vs Trumba: which should I use? They solve different problems. Teamup is a shared calendar for a team to maintain, free for five sub-calendars and $12 a month on Plus, embedded by iframe. Trumba is enterprise event publishing at $99.95 a month plus seats, with registration and room scheduling, set up as a project. If you are choosing between them for a public events page with add to calendar on every event, neither is the obvious pick; see the [Trumba comparison](https://addcal.co/alternatives/trumba.md) for the self-serve route.
