AddEvent works from the attendee's side: instead of asking people to visit your calendar, it puts your events in theirs. Single events get Add to Calendar buttons and links, and a subscription calendar lets people follow everything you publish so new and changed events appear in Google, Apple or Outlook on their own. Every plan includes event and calendar landing pages, online RSVP forms and confirmation and reminder emails. The free Hobby plan is a trial in practice, with 100 Add to Calendar clicks, 20 RSVPs and 20 calendar subscribers per usage period. Small Business, at $29 per month billed annually or $36 monthly, raises that to 2,500 event-adds, 1,000 RSVPs and 1,000 subscribers across 10 calendars, and adds analytics, embeddable calendar widgets, recurring events, Zapier, API access and branding removal. It suits marketing teams well, but it has no ticket sales, and the Small Business plan includes a single user.
