OurCal review
A practical group calendar for shared planning, event chat, and schedule changes.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
OurCal combines shared calendars with messaging for couples, families, friends, clubs, and work or shift teams. Members can view personal and group schedules, discuss plans in event-specific threads, follow activity feeds, receive reminders and change notifications, and create recurring events. The app is available on iOS, Android, and macOS, with integrations for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar/iCloud, Microsoft Outlook, and Samsung Calendar. Its on-device AI supports natural-language event creation, while end-to-end encryption, no ads, and no tracking are part of its stated product approach.
Pricing is organized around group size rather than individual seats. The Up to 6 people plan costs $6.99 per group per month, the Up to 20 people plan costs $12.99 per group per month, and the Up to 100 people plan costs $29.99 per group per month. One subscription covers the group on each tier. The published plans show a 14-day trial instead of a time-unlimited free plan. The displayed per-person equivalent for the six-person tier is $1.16 per user per month when billed monthly, which makes the entry tier straightforward for small groups that want shared access without separate subscriptions.
The strongest fit is for groups that need conversation attached to scheduling: event threads, group chat, activity updates, availability sharing, widgets, reminders, and automatic change tracking keep planning in one place. External calendars can be imported for viewing, and OurCal events can be exported; outbound sync is documented for Apple devices, with Android listed as coming soon. The listed group tiers reach 100 people, so larger organizations may need another approach. Choose OurCal for collaborative planning with calendar chat; choose an alternative if scheduling links, video meetings, or uniform cross-platform outbound sync are central requirements.
