Why people look for CalendarBridge alternatives

CalendarBridge bundles calendar sync with scheduling pages, a unified calendar and an AI assistant, and caps calendars by tier. If you only want your calendars kept in step, you may not need the rest.

This page is about switching: what carries over, what does not, and the steps. For features side by side, see Hetk vs CalendarBridge. For cost, see the CalendarBridge pricing breakdown.

What Hetk offers instead

Hetk does the sync part: one-way or two-way sync across Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Apple iCloud, with privacy controls (Replace the details with “Busy”, Flag the copy as private, title templates) on both plans. It has no scheduling pages, no calendar view of its own, no AI assistant and no mobile app.

Who should choose Hetk

Choose Hetk if:

  • You only use CalendarBridge for sync
  • You connect many calendars and do not want a cap on them
  • Privacy controls matter to you for sensitive events
  • You prefer a focused sync tool over a feature-heavy platform

Stay with CalendarBridge if:

  • You need native mobile apps
  • You want an established provider with a long track record
  • You rely on its bundled scheduling pages and AI assistant

What you keep when switching

  • Two-way and one-way sync
  • Support for Google, Outlook, and Apple iCloud
  • Privacy controls (Replace the details with “Busy”, Flag the copy as private, title templates)
  • Your events. They live in your calendars, not in either sync service

What you give up

  • Scheduling pages. CalendarBridge includes up to 10 booking links. Hetk has none, so you would need a separate scheduling tool.
  • The AI scheduling assistant. Hetk has no equivalent.
  • The unified calendar view. Hetk syncs your existing calendars and leaves you in them.
  • Mobile apps. CalendarBridge has iPhone and Android apps. Hetk is a web app.
  • A longer track record. CalendarBridge has been around longer. Hetk launched in 2025.

Step-by-step: switch from CalendarBridge to Hetk

  1. Start Hetk’s free trial: No credit card required, 21 days of full access
  2. Connect your calendar accounts: Google, Outlook, iCloud (same credentials as CalendarBridge)
  3. Recreate your sync relationships: Mirror your CalendarBridge setup in Hetk (usually 10 minutes)
  4. Test for a few days: Create test events and verify they sync as expected
  5. Disable CalendarBridge: Once confident, disable CalendarBridge’s syncs
  6. Upgrade to paid plan: After the 21-day trial, choose Personal ($15) or Professional ($50)

Your calendar events stay in place, you’re just switching which service syncs them.

FAQ

How fast is Hetk’s sync?

Changes in Google Calendar and Outlook usually arrive within seconds, through push notifications. A safety check runs every 15 minutes in case a notification is missed. Apple iCloud has no push. Hetk checks iCloud every 5 minutes, and less often for a calendar that has been quiet.

Can I switch from CalendarBridge to Hetk without losing data?

Yes. Your calendar events live in Google, Outlook, and iCloud. CalendarBridge was just syncing between them. When you switch to Hetk, the events stay intact, you’re just changing the sync service.

Does Hetk support the same number of calendars as CalendarBridge?

Hetk supports unlimited calendars on both plans. The limit is on sync pairs: Personal supports 3, Professional supports 8. CalendarBridge caps calendars by tier: 2 on Basic, 5 on Premium and 8 on Pro.

What if I need mobile apps like CalendarBridge has?

Hetk has no mobile app. It is a web app for setting up syncs, and it works in a phone browser. You keep using your usual calendar app (Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar) to see your events.

What’s included in Hetk’s privacy controls?

  • Replace the details with “Busy”: The title becomes “Busy”; description and location are cleared, and attendees are never copied
  • Flag the copy as private: The provider’s private flag is set (Google visibility: private, Microsoft sensitivity: private, iCloud CLASS:PRIVATE), so people the calendar is shared with see only “Busy”
  • Title templates: Label synced events with a pattern you write, like [Job 1], so you can tell events apart without exposing details

What if I need CalendarBridge’s extra features?

Then compare the totals before you switch. Hetk has no scheduling pages and no AI assistant, so you would pair it with a separate scheduling tool, and the two together can cost more than CalendarBridge alone. The CalendarBridge pricing breakdown has the numbers.

Can I run both CalendarBridge and Hetk?

Not recommended. Running two sync services on the same calendars creates duplicates and conflicts. Pick one and disable the other.
