Tockify review

Tockify sits between a plain Google Calendar embed and a full event platform. You keep editing events in Google Calendar if you like, and Tockify's live sync turns that calendar into a public events calendar on your website, or you can use its own editor, which handles repeating events, maps, images and RSVPs. Visitors get three layouts: a visual pinboard, an agenda list and a month grid, each available in several styles, and a customizer lets you match colors, fonts and layout to your site without code. Social sharing, saving events to personal calendars and iCalendar subscriptions are built in, and a submission feature lets your community propose events that you approve before they go live. Ticket buttons link to an outside booking page rather than selling tickets directly. Tockify offers a free start, but its plan prices load inside its web app and we could not confirm them as published USD text, so the price is marked pending.

Who it is for

Organizers who already keep events in Google Calendar and want a better-looking calendar on their website.
