The most-reviewed calendar is not the one people like. Toolradar tracks 89 tools holding 34,280 reviews. Notion Calendar holds 14,150 reviews at 3.80. Acuity Scheduling holds 6,173 at 4.70. Google Calendar holds 4,376 at 4.80. Fellow holds 2,438 at 4.70. A full point separates the workspace default from the calendar people already trust.

Every figure below is computed from the Toolradar directory on September 17, 2026. The live dashboard is Calendar statistics. The buyer ranking is best calendar software.

A $10 calendar seat is cheap. Switching calendars is not.

How this data was measured

Every figure in this report is computed live from the Toolradar directory on September 17, 2026, covering the 89 published tools we categorize under Calendar. Pricing model is read from each vendor's official pricing page. The entry price is the cheapest positive monthly tier a tool publishes. Ratings and review counts are aggregated from third-party platforms (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and others), not from Toolradar's own reviews. The leaderboard floor is 150 aggregated reviews. This is a directory snapshot, not a survey.
