People look beyond BlendedCal for a few documented reasons. The free plan stops at 3 sources and 1 blended calendar, calendar apps decide how often subscribed feeds refresh, and it only works when your sources offer ICS links. Advanced filtering and custom URLs sit on the top Power User plan.
Our catalog lists two alternatives, and both are general automation platforms rather than calendar mergers: Zapier, whose Professional tier starts at $19.99 per month with a free plan available, and Make, whose Core tier starts at $9 per month (price shown for 10k credits a month), also with a free plan. Each has its own verified profile. Expect to build the workflow yourself instead of pasting feed links.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
