Our verdict on FullCalendar
FullCalendar is a JavaScript calendar component for developers building calendars into websites and web applications. It provides month, day, list, multi-month, week, and resource-oriented views, along with event rendering, date selection, drag-and-drop interactions, and touch-based controls. The product is best suited to teams that need to embed a configurable calendar in a web product rather than people looking for a hosted calendar application.
The Standard plan covers the open-source core under the MIT license, including common calendar views, event editing, framework connectors, and other standard features. The Premium plan costs $480 as a one-time purchase and adds timeline view, vertical resource view, printer-friendly rendering, email support, and upgrades for one year. An OEM plan provides customizable license terms, unlimited developers, and unlimited email support. This structure makes the free offering suitable for standard calendar interfaces, while scheduling products that need resource planning or print-focused output will need to consider Premium.
FullCalendar fits established web stacks through connectors for React, Preact, Vue 3, Angular, and Web Components. Plugins can load events from public Google Calendar and iCalendar feeds, and the RRule plugin supports recurring events; Moment and Luxon are also listed integrations. These connections are focused on displaying feed data, with one-way calendar functionality rather than a full synchronization system. FullCalendar also lacks a backend for persistent event data, so teams need their own data layer for stored events and application-specific workflows. Choose it when you want control over calendar presentation inside a web application; choose a complete calendar service instead when you need an end-user product with hosted data management.
