Calensync vs OneCal.io
March 2024
In the evolving landscape of digital organization tools, calendar synchronization stands as a pillar for productivity and efficiency. Today, we're diving deep into a comparison between two notable players in this arena: Calensync.live (ourselves) and OneCal.io. Let's see how they stack up against each other.
Pricing: Quality Meets Affordability
On the pricing front, Calensync stands out as the more economical choice. We offer our basic functionalities at a price that is 50% cheaper than OneCal.io, with the cost for larger functionalities being up to 80% cheaper. This pricing strategy ensures that our users enjoy premium services without breaking the bank.
This is partly due to a lower base price, and partly to our pricing nature: we do not price per calendar, but per individual, so if you have 10 calendars, good for you!
Event controls: A Clear Advantage for Calensync
When it comes to controlling how events are synced, both platforms offer basic customization options. Both Calensync and OneCal.io allow users to customize the color of synced events and add prefixes to event titles, helping you easily identify synchronized events across calendars.
However, Calensync takes event control to the next level with several advanced features:
- Title Customization: Beyond simple prefixes, Calensync offers full control over how event titles are displayed in synced calendars
- Visibility Control: You can specify the visibility settings for synced events (private, public, or default)
- Status-based Syncing: Fine-tune which events get synced based on their status. For example, you can:
- Choose to sync only confirmed events
- Skip unconfirmed events entirely
- Customize how different event statuses are reflected in the target calendar
- Location Control: Unlike OneCal.io, Calensync gives you the option to include or exclude location information in synced events
These granular controls make Calensync the clear winner for users who need precise control over how their events are synchronized across calendars. You can read more about the customization controls and the filtering rules.
Integrations
Outlook and Google Calendar Syncing
Both platforms offer basic syncing capabilities for Outlook and Google Calendars, allowing events to be synced from Outlook to Google, and from Google to Outlook.
iCalendar
Both platforms offer iCalendar support, allowing you to sync events from other calendar platforms, such as android calendars, apple calendars, and more. However due to the nature of iCalendar, you can only sync events from one, and not to one.
Apple Calendar
This is the only major difference between the two platforms: OneCal.io offers Apple Calendar syncing, while Calensync does not.
Conclusion: The Choice Is Yours
At the end of the day, you should choose whichever solution fits your precise need the best. Both tools can be used for calendar sync, both can be used to schedule availabilities, the main difference is Calensync has more customization controls and is cheaper, whereas onecal has Apple synchronization. Choose wisely, and let's make the most of our digital tools together.
