The short version

  • Only FamCal has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: EventPro the pricing page publishes no figures and states cost depends on optional modules, the number of users and rooms at the customer's facility, and software training, all resolved through an account consultant assessment rather than a rate card; FamCal the whole family shares one account, logging in with individual email addresses but a single shared password
  • They diverge on capability: EventPro covers Event scheduling, FamCal covers Shared calendar.
