Comparison
Both tools focus on calendar sync. Here is how Calendar FreeSync compares to SyncThemCalendars on the things that matter.
| Calendar FreeSync | SyncThemCalendars | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Calendar sync | Calendar sync |
| Setup time | Under 1 minute | ~2 minutes |
| Google Calendar | Yes | Yes |
| Outlook / Office 365 | Yes | Yes |
| Apple iCloud | Coming soon | Yes |
| Real-time webhook sync | Yes | Varies |
| Keyword filters | Yes | Privacy field hiding |
| Free tier | Yes | 14-day trial only |
| Paid pricing | Pro plan coming soon | $3.99-$17.99/mo (annual) |
Calendar FreeSync and SyncThemCalendars solve the same core problem, but differ in a few key ways. Calendar FreeSync offers a permanent free tier (not just a trial), uses webhook-based real-time sync rather than polling intervals, and lets you filter events by keyword so you control exactly what crosses over.
If you want to try calendar sync without committing to a paid plan, Calendar FreeSync lets you get started at no cost and stay on the free tier as long as you need.
SyncThemCalendars already supports Apple iCloud Calendar, which Calendar FreeSync has on its roadmap but has not shipped yet. If you need iCloud sync today, SyncThemCalendars covers that. It also offers higher sync connection limits on its paid plans (up to 36 syncs on the Professional tier).
The tradeoff is cost: SyncThemCalendars has no permanent free tier, just a 14-day trial, so you will need to commit to a paid plan to keep your syncs running.
Calendar FreeSync's free tier does not expire. Set up your sync and let it run.
