Miracal vs. TimeTree
TimeTree is made for sharing: a family or a couple plans in one TimeTree calendar and chats about each event. Miracal is made for your own life: it shows the iCloud, Google and Outlook calendars already on your phone together with your tasks, the birthdays from your contacts and reminders to see your friends – without an account and without ads. You can still share: shared Google or iCloud calendars show up in Miracal like any other calendar.

Where TimeTree is the better choice
If the main job of your calendar is coordinating with other people – a family schedule, a club, a group of friends – TimeTree is built exactly for that. Everyone joins the same calendar, sees changes right away and can comment on events or add photos. There’s also a web version. Miracal has no chat or comments per event.
Where Miracal is the better choice
- Your existing calendars: Miracal doesn’t start a new calendar silo. It shows and edits the iCloud, Google and Outlook calendars on your phone, so your events stay where they are.
- Tasks next to events: to-do lists with priorities, due dates and subtasks in the same timeline.
- Birthdays and friendships: contact birthdays with age, plus reminders when you haven’t seen someone for a while.
- No ads, no account: the free version is ad-free; PRO costs $29.99 per year or $79.99 once.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share a calendar in Miracal?
Not inside Miracal itself. Use a shared iCloud or Google calendar – Miracal shows and edits it like any other calendar on your phone.
Does Miracal have ads?
No. Neither the free version nor PRO shows ads.
Can I import my TimeTree calendar into Miracal?
Miracal shows the calendars that are on your phone. TimeTree events live in the TimeTree account, so they are not shown automatically.
