Calendox vs CalendarBridge: Sync, Plan Limits and Price

Questions

How do Calendox and CalendarBridge count plan limits?

Calendox counts imported calendars and syncs, while CalendarBridge counts one-way sync connections, one for each ordered pair of calendars. A Calendox multi-way sync of five calendars uses five calendar slots and one sync (plans and billing), and each of the five must come from a different Google or Microsoft account (multi-way sync). Signing in to a Google or Microsoft account doesn't count, only the calendars you import.

CalendarBridge's billing help says a both-directions group of three calendars uses 6 connections, one for every ordered pair, so five calendars synced in all directions use 20.

Which costs less for two calendars synced both ways?

Neither: Calendox Basic and CalendarBridge Basic list the same price for two calendars, billed monthly or yearly. Calendox prices are on the pricing page, and CalendarBridge's are in its billing help.

Can you edit a synced event from any calendar in Calendox?

Yes. A Calendox multi-way sync has no primary calendar. Whichever calendar you create, edit or delete an event in, the change reaches all the others (multi-way sync). If the same event changes in two calendars at once, the change that reaches Calendox last wins.

CalendarBridge's guide to managing syncs says to treat its copies as read-only, because edits to a copy aren't synced back to the source calendar.

How many booking pages does each plan include?

Calendox Basic includes 2 booking pages, and Standard and Premium include unlimited booking pages, with fair-use limits (what is Bookings?). Premium also removes Calendox branding from your public pages, and Enterprise accounts don't include booking pages. CalendarBridge's pricing for individuals lists up to 10 scheduling pages on every plan.

Can Calendox booking pages take payments or book a whole team?

No. Calendox has no paid bookings, and each booking page belongs to one account, so there are no team pages (what is Bookings?). CalendarBridge's schedulers help describes paid bookings through the host's own Stripe account. It also describes combined links for up to 5 people, which can book everyone together, rotate round robin or go to whoever is free first.

Both attach Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom links. On Calendox, Teams links need a work or school Microsoft calendar (meeting links and location).

Which calendars does a Calendox booking page check for conflicts?

Every connected Google and Microsoft calendar, by default, with no per-calendar cap, and you can limit it to chosen calendars (availability and scheduling). People booking you see only open slots, never your event details.

CalendarBridge's guide to creating a scheduler says it checks the booking calendar plus up to 3 more. Calendars already synced into the booking calendar count automatically.

How does Calendox bill a team?

Per seat. A Business account buys licenses on Basic, Standard or Premium, at the same per-seat prices as the personal plans. A team can mix tiers (team management). Each member's limits come from the license they hold, and all admins are equal. CalendarBridge's pricing for groups also mixes Basic, Premium and Pro seats at its individual prices.

Which calendars can Calendox connect?

Google and Microsoft calendars only: Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook.com, Hotmail, Live.com and Microsoft 365 work or school accounts (what is Calendox?). Calendars you can only view, such as subscribed holiday calendars, can't be imported (connect Google Calendar).

Microsoft calendars owned by another mailbox, such as a shared mailbox or a group calendar, can't be synced from your account. Connect the owning account instead (connect Microsoft calendar).

Can Calendox sync calendars between two Microsoft 365 organizations?

Yes, with an Enterprise account: each tenant's administrator grants tenant-wide admin consent once, and employees never sign in to Calendox (Enterprise accounts).

• A master-tenant calendar and a secondary-tenant calendar pair up on their own only when the email username and the calendar name both agree. You pair the rest by hand or from a CSV file.
• Your first connected tenant becomes the master tenant, whose calendars never use a seat. Every calendar you import from another tenant takes one seat.
• Enterprise is for Microsoft 365 only, and it doesn't include booking pages or the Unified Calendar.

CalendarBridge can also create Managed Syncs from a CSV file, a feature its bulk jobs guide lists as Beta. For what Microsoft 365's built-in options share across tenants, see calendar sync between two Microsoft 365 tenants.

How long is each free trial, and what happens after it?

Calendox gives you 14 days with no credit card. CalendarBridge's sign-up page offers 7 days, also with no card.

When a Calendox trial ends without a subscription, your syncs pause, and your calendar connections and settings are kept (Terms of Service). Syncing resumes when you subscribe (plans and billing). On a Business team, every member uses their own trial. Once the team subscribes, each member needs a license from it, and a member without one has their syncs paused until an admin assigns one. The Calendox trial can be used once per email address.

Can you buy Calendox through the Microsoft Marketplace?

Yes. A Marketplace purchase falls under the Microsoft Standard Contract, and the charges go to the Microsoft billing account you choose at checkout (Microsoft Marketplace). Marketplace plans include a free trial run by Microsoft; its terms are shown at checkout.
