The Modern Trumba Alternative
Looking for a Trumba alternative? CalGet gives you an embeddable event calendar with one-click subscribe, built-in RSVPs and flat pricing. No per-calendar fees, no dated interface, no developer required.
Why choose CalGet over Trumba?
Trumba pioneered the embeddable event calendar, but its per-calendar pricing and dated, configuration-heavy interface are starting to show their age. CalGet takes a simpler approach. One flat plan covers all of your calendars, the widget embeds on any site with a single line of code, and visitors get a mobile-ready calendar they can search, RSVP to and subscribe to in one click. Plans start at $16/month.
Make it match your brand
Change the colour, theme, view and layout and watch the CalGet event calendar update instantly, the kind of modern feel Trumba doesn't have.
Your visitors can switch views, search your events and subscribe to your website calendar right inside the embed.

Everything Trumba does, without the complexity or the per-calendar bill
Embeddable event calendar
Add a live event calendar to any page with a single line of HTML. It works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow and custom-built sites, with no plugin, no spud setup and no developer needed.
Why teams switch from Trumba
A modern, affordable calendar without the legacy complexity
No per-calendar pricing
Trumba bills for each published calendar, so every new department or program raises your invoice. CalGet includes all of your calendars in one flat plan from $16/month.
A modern interface
Skip the configuration-heavy “spud” setup. CalGet embeds with one line of code and gives visitors a clean, fast, mobile-first calendar with dark mode and your brand colours.
More than a calendar
One-click subscribe, built-in RSVPs, guest submissions, add-to-calendar links, search and analytics come standard, with no bolt-on modules or extra fees.
Essential features included on every plan
- Add-to-calendar links & buttons
- RSVP management system
- Subscription calendars
- Live chat support
Where Trumba reserves capabilities for higher tiers or separate add-ons, CalGet includes the essentials across every plan. That keeps pricing predictable and means you are never forced into an expensive upgrade just to run a proper event calendar.
Get started for free →One flat plan, every calendar included
Trumba charges for each calendar you publish, so costs climb with every department, campus or program you add. CalGet’s Starter plan is $16/month and covers all of your calendars, and the Professional plan at $32/month adds higher RSVP and subscriber limits, for a fraction of what a multi-calendar Trumba setup typically costs.
