Context: was looking for a decent service to give me a calendar a little while back but one thing that kept stopping me is there seems to be absolutely no service that just offers you a nice calendar, its only email services that happen to offer a calendar on the side.
I don’t want another email. I have enough, and my current one is tied down to gmail (but I’d prefer if my calendar wasn’t).
I’m sure there must a historical reason for this, but also why is does it still persevere?
One is a scheduling and time management thing, the other a communication system. I don’t need to sign up for a messaging app to have a todo list.
The two aren’t even well integrated smh.
That’s what I’m doing now but I’d rather not pay for things I’m not using.
Do you expect to find a company that sells a calendar-only subscription? “Calendar - 49c/month”?
I’ve been looking at lot at all kinds of services and most start their pricing at around 5 USD/month. Regardless of how much actual features they actually provide.
I’d say your best bet is NextCloud. You can rent some, self host or use a free instance (there’s a couple around).
Personally, I’m self-hosting stuff on a VPS. For whopping 5USD/month I’m getting things I’d be paying 50, if not mere, if they were offered as separate products by your average service-providing companies.
