A nice Dutch family calendar with a colour per family member. Strong as a pure calendar; Planninn goes further with tasks, teams, attachments and RSVP.
Popular in the US for years as an all-in-one, with a free ad-supported tier and storage outside the EU.
A popular free shared calendar with per-event chat. Ad-supported; no task or shopping management like Planninn.
Free and everywhere, but built for individual calendars. Sharing is possible, but it lacks family features like lists and a per-member overview.
A social family app with location sharing and messaging. Planninn focuses on calm, purposeful planning with EU privacy.
A nice wall-display calendar for the kitchen, but with pricey hardware and a subscription. Planninn works on the phone you already have.
