Team calendars

Team Calendar Software and Team Calendar App for Business Teams

Team calendar software usually means a shared view of everybody's week. That helps your own people plan and does nothing for the client, candidate or partner who cannot see any of it. ScheduleMeeting turns the same availability into pages those people can book, with round-robin and collective meetings, for one company price.

Two-way Google Calendar sync, Google Meet links, reminders and self-rescheduling. Monthly or yearly billing, cancel from the billing screen.

Calendly figures use its published Teams list price: $16 per seat per month billed yearly for seats 1 to 30, lower bands above that, and $20 per seat month to month. ScheduleMeeting prices are the plans on our pricing page, in US dollars.

Short answer. A shared team calendar is already included in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Team calendar software is worth paying for when people outside the company need to book the team: it turns everyone's availability into booking pages that rotate meetings or find a time when several hosts are free. ScheduleMeeting does that for $594 a year for up to 15 people, not per user.

How much does team calendar software cost?

Most team calendar and booking tools bill per user, so the price climbs with every person who takes meetings. The table is the yearly bill on annual billing for the booking side of a team calendar at four common team sizes.

People who take meetingsCalendly TeamsGoogle Workspace upgrade, Starter to Business StandardScheduleMeeting
5$960$420, no round-robin$594 (Team)
10$1,920$840, no round-robin$594 (Team)
15$2,880$1,260, no round-robin$594 (Team)
25$4,800$2,100, no round-robin$1,194 (Business)

US list prices on yearly billing before tax. Calendly Teams is $16 per seat a month for 1 to 30 seats. Google Workspace booking pages start on Business Standard ($14 per user a month) and are not on Business Starter ($7), so the column shows the extra cost of upgrading everyone who takes meetings. Calendly and Google Workspace are trademarks of their owners and are not affiliated with ScheduleMeeting.

When the calendar you have is enough

If nobody outside the company books your team, keep the shared calendar in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and skip a paid tool. The same goes for a solo consultant: one Workspace appointment schedule covers one person well. The full Google breakdown is in Google Workspace appointment scheduling pricing.

When a booking layer pays for itself

From about four people who take external meetings, a flat company plan costs less than per-seat tools and adds what Google leaves out: one link that rotates demos, interviews or client calls, and panel slots that wait for every required host. Teams leaving Calendly can compare plans on Calendly alternative for teams.

From a shared view to a shared booking page

A shared calendar is read by insiders. A booking page is read by outsiders and exposes one thing: the times that work. Between them sits the policy layer, which is where most teams lose their week.

Here that layer is explicit. Each member sets their own working hours, days off and timezone. Admins set company hours and holidays once, applied above everyone. Each meeting type adds duration, buffers, minimum notice, a daily cap and a booking horizon. Availability is the intersection of all of it plus the connected Google Calendar, computed on every page load.

What is the best shared calendar for business?

For most US companies the best shared calendar for business is the one already in their email suite: Google Calendar on Google Workspace or Outlook on Microsoft 365. Both let a team publish shared calendars and see each other's free and busy time at no extra cost. What neither does well is let people outside the company book that time fairly across the team.

That is the job of a booking layer on top. Keep the shared company calendar where it is for internal planning, and put round-robin and collective booking pages in front of it for clients, candidates and prospects. The table shows which tool covers which part.

How do I create a shared company calendar?

In Google Workspace, an admin or any user creates a new calendar under Other calendars, names it after the company or team, and shares it with the whole domain or a group with the right permission level. Holidays, all-hands and office closures then show up for everyone who subscribes. ScheduleMeeting does not replace that calendar; it adds booking pages that read every member's availability and respect the company hours and holidays you set once in the admin screen. Teams that mostly need the booking side should also read Google Calendar round robin, which covers what Workspace's appointment schedules can and cannot do.

Meeting types a team shares

  • Single host, for named accounts and relationships that should not rotate
  • Round-robin, so one link feeds a queue and bookings go to whoever is free
  • Collective, so a slot appears only when every required host is available and the booking lands on all their calendars
  • One public organization page listing every meeting type you publish, for people who lost a specific link

Teams in more than one place

Working hours belong to the person, not to head office, so a team spread across offices keeps sane local hours while sharing one link. Times are stored as absolute instants and rendered in the reader's own timezone with the zone named, on the page, in the dashboard and in every email.

Daylight saving needs no maintenance: conversion happens when something is rendered, using the rules in force for that date.

Seats included, not per user

Starter is $49 per month for 3 team members. Team is $99 per month for 15 and adds round-robin, collective meetings, shared team booking pages and organization-wide availability control. Business is $199 per month for 100, and Enterprise is $398 per month with no cap on team members. Yearly billing is 50% cheaper, bookings are unlimited on every plan, and there is no free plan; an unpaid account gets a one-time demo.

Who buys it most often: a sales lead who wants one demo link split fairly across reps (see sales scheduling software), a recruiting coordinator booking panel interviews (see interview scheduling software), and agency or advisory teams whose clients book whichever account manager is free.

Common questions

How much does team calendar software cost?

Per-user tools cost about $13 to $16 per person a month on yearly billing, so a 10-person team pays $1,560 to $1,920 a year. ScheduleMeeting is priced per company: the Team plan covers up to 15 people for one flat yearly price, with round-robin and collective meetings included.

What is the best team calendar app for a small business?

If the team only needs to see each other's week, the calendar already in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 is enough. If clients, candidates or prospects need to book the team, add a booking tool with round-robin and shared team pages on top of that calendar.

Does Google Calendar have a team calendar?

Yes. Any Google Workspace user can create a shared calendar and share it with the domain or a group. What it does not have is round-robin: appointment schedules belong to one owner, and co-hosts are all invited to every booking.

Does this replace our shared calendar?

No. It reads it. Busy events on each host's connected Google Calendar remove their matching slots, and confirmed bookings are written back, so the calendar stays the record and this decides what can still be booked.

Does it work with Outlook shared calendars?

Partly. Two-way sync is built for Google Calendar. A member on Microsoft 365 can paste the published ICS link of an Outlook calendar so those busy times stay off the booking pages, but Microsoft refreshes that feed on its own schedule, so it is not live two-way sync.

Can different teams have different rules?

Yes. Rules live on the meeting type, so sales, recruiting and support can each run their own while the company keeps one hours and holidays policy above them.

Turn one shared calendar into a booking page

Pick the meeting your team receives most, publish it, and share one link instead of five calendars. Related reading: collective scheduling software and team scheduling software for a whole company.
