Rede vs TimeTree
TimeTree or Rede?
TimeTree is a shared calendar for any group, from a couple to the football team. Rede is for one family and nobody else.
For a shared calendar and nothing more, TimeTree's free version does the job if you can live with the ads. It also keeps your partner, the team and the family in separate calendars. Rede is for when you want the family's chat, photos, map and school emails next to the calendar.
Pick Rede if
- The family chat and photos should be next to the calendar
- You don't want ads
- You want a family email address for school
Pick TimeTree if
- You need separate calendars for different groups
- Someone uses Android
- You want it free

Questions
Is TimeTree free?
Yes, with ads. Premium ($4.49 a month or $44.99 a year) removes them.

No. TimeTree is a calendar, and Rede has a family map next to its calendar.
Can I move my TimeTree events to Rede?
Not automatically. Rede doesn't import other calendars yet, so events have to be added again.
