Calendar Mirror vs SyncThemCalendars

Compared August 2026 · every price and feature below was checked against SyncThemCalendars’s own site on 28 August 2026. These change — check the SyncThemCalendars site before deciding.

Straightforward hosted sync with field masking, priced by how many syncs you run.

SyncThemCalendars is the closest thing to a like-for-like hosted version of what Calendar Mirror does: copy calendars, hide the details behind a “Busy” block. It supports Google, Outlook and Apple iCloud, and it prices by the number of syncs you run rather than by feature tier.

The real choice is hosted or not. If you need the sync to run with no Apple device involved — or you are not on Apple at all — theirs runs on a server and Calendar Mirror cannot. If every device you own is Apple, Calendar Mirror does the same job for $2.99 once, with nothing transmitted.

Which to pick

Where Calendar Mirror is the better pick

  • No account, no server, nothing transmitted.
  • $2.99 once against $47.88–$215.88 a year.
  • No cap on the number of mirrors — their tiers are priced by sync count.
  • Per-event control, and filters on declined, cancelled, all-day, free, duration, title and time of day.
  • Reads subscribed ICS feeds as ordinary calendars.

Where SyncThemCalendars is the better pick

  • Runs without an Apple device, and works if your calendars are Google-and-Outlook only.
  • Keeps syncing while your devices are off.
  • A web interface you can reach from anywhere.
  • Field masking is presented per field, which some people will find easier to reason about than presets plus a Custom mode.

Use them together

Feed it the calendars it cannot subscribe to

SyncThemCalendars covers Google, Outlook and iCloud. What it cannot do is reach a calendar that only exists on your device — a subscribed ICS feed, or an Exchange account configured in macOS rather than shared out.

Calendar Mirror can hand those over. Mirror the feed into a real iCloud or Google calendar first, and SyncThemCalendars can work with it like any other. This is the useful pattern for read-only team feeds and assigned-shift calendars, which are exactly the ones no hosted tool can authenticate to.

Bridging adds a hop: Calendar Mirror writes the copy on your device, and the other service then reads that copy on its own schedule. It needs the destination account set up on your Mac or iPhone, and the copy is one-way, like every Calendar Mirror mirror.

What Calendar Mirror does not do, on any tier

None of these are coming later. If you need one of them, buy something else:
