# Calfeed > Calfeed turns a written schedule into a subscribable calendar link. Describe a schedule in plain language, get a calendar link you add to Apple, Google, or Outlook. Edits update it automatically wherever it's been added. Share the same link if others need it. Pay per calendar with credits, or subscribe to Pro for high-volume publishing. > Disambiguation: Calfeed.ai is calendar-publishing software. It is not CALFEED animal-feed additives, the calcium supplements of the same name, the Cal AI calorie tracker, or cal.com. ## Audience Parents organizing kids' activities, trainers publishing multi-week programs, event planners running seasons or run-of-show, community organizers (clubs, PTA, religious groups), and shift workers tracking rotating schedules (nurses, firefighters, EMS, police, and plant/industrial crews on DuPont, Pitman, Panama, 4-on-4-off, or Kelly rotations). Common job: one creator, one schedule, an audience of 10-100 people or a household, no desire to text everyone when the schedule changes. ## Pricing Converting a schedule and previewing the events is free. Publishing a calendar costs $5 one-time, or use pay-as-you-go credits ($2.50/calendar in the 10-pack). Pro ($12/month annual, $19/month monthly) covers up to 25 calendars per month. ## Full Content - [llms-full.txt](https://calfeed.ai/llms-full.txt): Concatenated Markdown of every guide and tool page, single fetch. ## Pages - [Home](https://calfeed.ai/): What Calfeed is and who it's for. - [Demo](https://calfeed.ai/demo): 60-second video walkthrough, paste a schedule to published subscribable link. - [Pricing](https://calfeed.ai/pricing): Credit packs and the Pro subscription. - [Free Tools](https://calfeed.ai/tools): Free utilities for working with calendar links and files.
