How we chose

  • Every tool on this list does the core job of add-to-calendar & event calendars, so it can replace Elfsight Event Calendar for most people.
  • We weighed pricing and free plans, ease of use, and the trade-offs you take on when switching.
  • Pricing comes from each vendor’s public pricing page and changes often, so confirm before you buy.

Buying guide: what to check before you switch

Add-to-calendar tools create one link or button that adds your event to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook and others, so people actually remember to show up. Many also collect RSVPs, let people subscribe to all your future events and embed an event calendar on your website.

  • Calendars supported (Google, Apple, Outlook, Office 365, Yahoo)
  • RSVP collection and custom forms
  • Subscribable and embeddable calendars
  • Limits on calendar adds and RSVPs per plan

Prices and features change often. Check each vendor’s website for current plans before you buy.
