Proton Calendar
Pros
- Event metadata is designed for zero-access encryption on Proton’s infrastructure
- No ads or third-party trackers in the product’s privacy positioning
- Same Proton Account ties calendar, mail, VPN, drive, and pass for one subscription story
- Web plus iOS and Android clients cover typical mobile-and-browser workflows
- Swiss jurisdiction and open-audit culture matter for security-sensitive teams
Cons
- Feature depth and polish still trail Google Calendar for power schedulers
- Store reviews cite sync latency, missing niceties, or occasional logout bugs
- Deep Google Workspace or Microsoft org cal coexistence is not the primary design center
- Native desktop clients are not the headline—browser access carries most laptop use
- Meaningful calendar limits on the free tier push heavier users toward paid bundles
Google Calendar
Pros
- Defaults stay synced for Workspace and Gmail accounts
- Invites and rooms behave predictably in corporate stacks
- Offline tweaks keep Agenda usable in low signal
- Tasks sit beside events for quick capture
- Runs on web, Android, and iOS with identical data
Cons
- Privacy-minded teams route sensitive planning to Proton or local-first stacks
- Design and widgets lose beauty contests to boutique calendars
- Natural-language entry trails Fantastical-class parsers
- Power workflows lean on add-ons beyond stock scheduling
