Calfeed vs Google Calendar
Google Calendar public sharing is fine if you already keep the schedule inside one Google account, your audience is Google-centric, and you don't mind exposing that account and Google's branding. Calfeed is publisher-mode: build a calendar from plain text, brand it, and hand out one link that adds cleanly to Apple, Google, or Outlook, kept separate from your personal account. Different jobs.
Updated
| Feature | Calfeed | Google Calendar |
|---|---|---|
| Mental model | A separate calendar you publish | Your personal calendar, shared out |
| Input | Paste a schedule, Calfeed builds the events | Hand-enter every event in Google Calendar |
| Subscriber experience | One link adds to Apple, Google, or Outlook | Smooth for Google users, clunky elsewhere |
| Branding | Custom logo and color on the public page | Fixed Google styling, no branding |
| Personal-account exposure | None, the published calendar is separate | Shares from your account; risk of leaking private details |
| Edit in place | Edit the same feed, subscribers auto-update | Yes, but tied to your personal calendar |
| Price | First calendar free, then credits or Pro | Free |
| Best for | Publishing a schedule to an audience | Sharing your own calendar with a few people |

When Google Calendar wins
