Plenty of tools copy an event from one calendar to another. The differences show up on the day something goes wrong, when your team grows, and when the bill arrives. Here is what we would check, and how we answer each one.
We looked at the other calendar sync services and listed what each one offers. These are the things we think matter when something goes wrong, and the things only we do.

Most calendar tools are built for one person and stretched to fit a company. We built the team side deliberately, and it is the part we are proudest of.
Invite people by email, or let anyone with your company's email address find and join your team. Nobody connects a calendar they do not choose to.
Owners, admins and members, plus groups with their own abilities, so the person who pays is not always the person who sets things up.
Require two-factor sign-in, limit which calendar providers can connect, limit where copies can go, or turn off secondary accounts. You choose whether a rule starts now or gives people 14 days.
When someone leaves or is removed, we take back the copies GetCalendario wrote onto their calendars, keep a restore window, and send a departure report.
Managing a team means managing people and policies. It does not give an admin a window into anyone's calendar.
One subscription for the team, with the unused part of anyone's own plan refunded when the team takes over paying.
You can start a team yourself from People & Team. For team pricing, talk to us.
Sign in with your company identity provider, over SAML or OpenID Connect, and require it for everyone on the team.
Add and remove accounts automatically from your directory with SCIM. Each person still connects their own calendar.
These are next on our list. If you need them, tell us. It decides what we build first.
No sales call to find out what it costs. Start free, with no card, and move up only when you need to.
GetCalendario works with Google and Microsoft calendars. Apple / iCloud: read (sync from) now, write coming. You can copy an Apple calendar onto Google or Microsoft today, not the other way yet, and Apple changes are picked up within 5–30 minutes depending on your plan. A connection copies one way, so keeping two calendars fully in step takes two connections. We would rather tell you that now than have you find out later.
Six questions worth asking of anything you are about to trust with your calendar. These are our answers.
Ours does, twice. Before we copy anything we put two test events on the other calendar and take them straight back off, just to be sure we are allowed to write there. Then we copy two of your real events across and ask you to go and look at them. Only when you say "yes, that looks right" do we do the rest.
We take a copy of every one of your calendars, every night, and keep it for 30 days. Deleted the wrong thing? Someone tidied a shared calendar? Open the day it was still there and download it back. You can put a password on those copies, and if you do, even we cannot read them.
Up to two years ahead and a year behind, on our biggest plan. A lot of tools only look a few weeks out, which is fine right up until you book something in March and nobody else's calendar knows about it.
As much or as little as you like. The whole event, or just a block that says "busy" with no details at all. Private things stay private. You can skip anything in a particular color, so the school run never lands in your work diary. And you can add a little label, so you can tell a copy from the original at a glance.
Nothing. A new account starts with 14 days of Premium, and no card is asked for. After that you can stay on our free plan for as long as you like: 2 calendar accounts, one sync, a month ahead and a week behind. Nothing expires.
