FAQ
- What is CalTogether?
- It’s a simple way to publish a shared calendar for your community. Add events, share a public link (or put the calendar on your website), and people can browse what’s coming up without creating an account.
- Who is it for?
- Neighborhoods and HOAs, Firewise groups, schools and PTAs, churches, sports leagues, parks & rec, nonprofits, real estate teams, emergency and public services — anyone who needs one public schedule people can trust.
- How is this different from Google Calendar?
- Google Calendar is great for private schedules and invites. CalTogether is built for the public face of your community — a branded page, photos, optional “Suggest an event,” website embeds, and team editing without a shared login. Plenty of groups keep Google for staff and use CalTogether for what neighbors and members actually open.
- How much does it cost?
- Free covers one public calendar, team invites, a shareable page, calendar subscriptions, and email alerts (100/month). Growing is $7/month (or $70/year) for unlimited calendars, website embeds, custom themes, more email alerts, and text reminders. Organization is $19/month (or $190/year) for multiple workspaces, higher limits, and priority support. Extra text packs are $5 for 125 messages.
- Can people suggest events?
- Yes. Turn on Suggest an event for a calendar and visitors can propose something new. You review each suggestion before it goes live — approve it to publish, or delete it if it isn’t a fit. When you publish, the person who submitted gets an email with a link to the calendar.
- Can I put the calendar on my website?
- Yes, on Growing and Organization plans. You get embed code that works on common hosts, including Google Sites, WordPress, and similar school or church sites.
- Can people add it to their own calendar app?
- Yes. When Subscribe is enabled, visitors can follow the calendar in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, and other apps that support a standard calendar feed.
- How do email and text reminders work?
- On the public calendar, anyone can opt into email and/or text reminders — no account required. Confirm via the link we send by email or text before reminders start. Free includes email alerts; text reminders are on paid plans. For texts, reply STOP to cancel, START to resubscribe after you’ve opted in on the website, or HELP for caltogether.com/help.
