Google Sheets to Google Calendar: every add-on compared (2026)

By Caner Kaya, Kayabyte

Disclosure: I make Kayabyte Calendar Sync & Timesheets, one of the options below. I’ve tried to describe every option fairly, including where mine is not the best choice. Ratings, user counts, prices and features are copied from each add-on’s Google Workspace Marketplace listing and, where linked, its own pricing page, on 24 October 2026. Where a page doesn’t say something, the table says “not stated”. The add-on may still do it, so ask the developer.

The short answer

• A one-off copy of a schedule: you don’t need an add-on. Save the sheet as CSV and import it in Google Calendar (Settings > Import & export). Editing the sheet later won’t change the events, and importing again creates duplicates. My guide shows the steps and a free script that updates instead of duplicating.
• Rows that keep changing: use an add-on that remembers which event belongs to which row, so editing a row updates its event instead of adding a second one. Most of the add-ons below do this.
• Changes in Calendar should flow back into the sheet: you need two-way sync. Sheets2GCal, Sync Sheets to Calendar, Sheet.Cal, Calrows, Calendar Sync for Sheets and Kayabyte (Pro) offer it.
• Hours per project or client from your calendar: Calrows and Kayabyte (Pro) build timesheets.
• A handful of events, no budget: Sheet2Cal’s free plan (10 events a day) or the free plans of Calrows, Calendar Sync for Sheets or Kayabyte.

Comparison table

User counts are what each listing shows; two listings show only a number on the search card. “Not stated” means the listing doesn’t mention it.

The options one by one

Sheets2GCal

The most installed option (8M+ users) and two-way: it imports events into a sheet and exports rows to a calendar, and you tick update or delete boxes to change events. Without an account it allows 2,000 imports and 50 updates or deletes a day; a free registered licence raises that, and a paid licence (€48 a year personal) removes the limits. The listing notes that a copied row edits the original event unless you clear its ID. Rated 3.2 from 133 reviews.

Calendar Events Creator

Popular (3M+ users) and simple: it turns rows into events and can update and delete them. The trial covers 15 events in total, then plans start at $9.99 a month billed yearly. It’s rated 2.5 from 457 reviews, the most reviews in this list.

Sheet to Calendar Evento

Well rated (4.1 from 126) and aimed at business use, including creating events when a Google Form is submitted. It’s the most expensive here, from $25 a month for Gmail accounts, with limits of 5,000 to 10,000 events a day.

Sync Sheets to Calendar (EventTrakr)

Two-way and cheap at $10 a year, with no auto-renewal. Recurring events and colours can only be set in Calendar, and the sheet and calendar must use the same time zone. Rated 1.9 from 18 reviews.

Sheet.Cal

Two-way, with a preview step that the listing says prevents duplicates. The free tier only syncs events within 30 days either side of today; Pro adds guests, Meet links and recurring events. Prices aren’t published. Rated 4.5 from 34.

Sheet2Cal

A good pick for small, occasional jobs: free up to 10 events a day, and Pro is a one-time $19.99. Updating and deleting events need Pro. Rated 4.8 from 16.

Calrows

New, and the closest to mine in features: two-way sync, importing events by week, month or year, and timesheets with hours, rates and billable amounts. Pro costs about the same as mine ($6 a month or $48 a year) and syncs hourly, every 6 hours or daily. The free plan covers 50 new events a month with manual sync.

Calendar Sync for Sheets (Marinette)

Also new. Edits in the sheet sync to Calendar, and changes made in Calendar are flagged in the sheet rather than overwritten. It can also turn a file into events with AI (3 a day free). Free for 50 new events a month; the Pro price isn’t published.

Kayabyte Calendar Sync & Timesheets (mine)

Add Title, Start and End columns (Location, Guests, Description, Calendar, Colour and Status are optional) and sync. Each row becomes one event, and syncing again updates the same event, never a duplicate; Status “cancel” deletes it. It only ever touches events it created from that spreadsheet, and handles all-day dates, separate date and time columns, night shifts that end the next day and the sheet’s time zone. Automatic runs never email guests.

Free covers up to 100 rows per run and imports from one calendar. Pro adds two-way sync (you choose whether the sheet or the calendar wins a conflict), hourly automatic sync, imports from several calendars and timesheets by project or client, for $5 per user a month or $48 a year, with a 14-day trial; a whole domain is $480 a year. It’s new, so it has no reviews yet. More about it, or install it from the Marketplace.

Zapier and Make

Automation tools can also create events from new rows. Zapier’s free plan has 100 tasks a month and checks for new rows every 15 minutes; paid plans start at $19.99 a month billed yearly (Zapier pricing). Make has a free plan as well (Make pricing). Both are good at “new row, new event”. They’re weaker at keeping a row and its event in step when either one changes later, because you have to build the update and delete steps yourself.

How to choose

1. Count your events. A few a month fit almost any free plan; thousands need a paid plan or Sheets2GCal’s registered licence.
2. Decide which side is the source of truth. If people edit events in Calendar, you need two-way sync and a rule for conflicts.
3. Check what happens when a row changes or is deleted. Try it with a test calendar before you sync your real one.
