BusyCal plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

|---|---|---|---|
| Free Edition | Free | 1 | Entry tier |
| Premium Subscription | $39.99/year | 2 | +$39.99/year, 2 more features |
| Perpetual License | $49.99/once | 2 | +$10/once, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring BusyCal in for scheduling, appointment booking, time tracking, resource management, team coordination. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to BusyCal are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for BusyCal
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $49.99/once, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
BusyCal runs on macos, ios, ipad, and is published by Busy Apps FZE of Dubai, UAE. The full record is on the BusyCal review.
BusyCal pricing questions
- How much does BusyCal cost?
- BusyCal publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free Edition up to $49.99/once for Perpetual License. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does BusyCal have a free plan?
- Yes. The Free Edition tier costs nothing and covers basic calendaring needs. Paying starts at $39.99/year for Premium Subscription.
- What is the difference between Free Edition and Premium Subscription on BusyCal?
- Premium Subscription costs $39.99/year against Free, and adds advanced features, 14-day trial available.
- Is the Perpetual License plan on BusyCal worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is one-time purchase, lifetime use. It costs $49.99/once against $39.99/year for Premium Subscription. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with BusyCal?
- The record lists 11 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for scheduling, appointment booking, time tracking.
- Does BusyCal charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these BusyCal prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare BusyCal against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to BusyCal to make a useful price comparison.
