Why people switch from Business Calendar 2
Business Calendar 2 is a strong app. Its Google Play listing shows a full planner with month, week, day and year views, seven widget types, tasks, sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, Exchange and CalDAV, and a Wear OS app. Few free calendars do that much.
People still look elsewhere for a few plain reasons:
- The free version has ads, and the listing shows in-app purchases for the Pro features.
- Some features sit behind Pro, for example the weather forecast, the 22 app themes and PDF printing.
- You may only want a list of events on the home screen, not a whole planner.
- You may want your calendar app and your widget to be separate choices.
For a direct comparison with one widget, read Super Agenda vs Business Calendar 2.
1. Google Calendar: Best for a free, simple planner
Android, Wear OS. Free. The official Google app is the default for most people. It adds events from Gmail, such as flights and hotel bookings. It shows Google Calendar events next to other calendars on the phone, including Exchange. The Play listing shows no ads and no in-app purchases.
Google's help page lists two home screen widgets: a schedule widget for tasks and upcoming events, and a month view widget. The steps may differ by phone.
Replaces Business Calendar 2's:
- Month, week and day views
- Tasks next to events
- Shared calendars, color coding and Wear OS support
- Sync with a Google account
Does not replace:
- The choice of seven widget types
- Widget themes
Trade-offs:
- Fewer widget options than the other apps in this list
- Works best if your calendar lives in a Google account
2. DigiCal: Best for widget choice and weather
Android. Free with ads, with a paid DigiCal+ upgrade. The DigiCal listing names seven views, six widgets with nine preset themes, sync with Google Calendar, Outlook and Exchange, a dark theme, and a weather forecast. The developer's site says the widgets can also go on the lock screen.
Replaces Business Calendar 2's:
- Month, week, day, agenda and year views (the year view is in DigiCal+)
- A set of themed widgets
- Weather in the planner
- Holiday and sports calendars, and a local calendar with no sync
Does not replace:
- Tasks. The listing does not mention them.
- A Wear OS app. The listing does not mention one.
Trade-offs:
- The free version shows ads. DigiCal+ removes them. The listing says it also unlocks two extra widgets, the year view and more options.
- The developer's site says extended weather is a subscription. It does not state the billing type of DigiCal+.
Your calendar, on your home screen. Super Agenda is a free, very customizable agenda widget for Android. No account, no ads.
3. aCalendar: Best for a one-time purchase with tasks
Android. Free with occasional ads, plus a paid aCalendar+. The aCalendar+ listing says the app "uses Android's native calendar backend and synchronization". It has day, week, month and year views and full-screen widgets. The developer's help site lists agenda, date, day and week widgets, and support for Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do and CalDAV tasks. The free aCalendar listing says its upgrades are one-time purchases.
Replaces Business Calendar 2's:
- Day, week, month and year views
- Tasks (a paid extra in the free app, included in aCalendar+)
- Per-event colors
- Birthdays with photos from your contacts
Does not replace:
- A Wear OS app. The listing does not mention one.
- Weather. The listing does not mention it.
Trade-offs:
- The paid app showed a price of 11.99 USD on the US listing on 2026-10-23. Prices differ by country.
- You pay once, but you pay more up front than for a free app.
4. Fossify Calendar: Best for open source and no ads
Android. Free, open source (GPL-3.0). The Play listing promises no ads, no tracking and no intrusive permissions. It syncs with Google Calendar, Outlook, Nextcloud and Exchange, and offers daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and event views.
Replaces Business Calendar 2's:
- The main calendar views
- Home screen widgets with themes. The listing says "calendar widgets" and does not name the types.
- Holiday and birthday import
- Sync with several services
Does not replace:
- Tasks. The listing and the project page do not mention them.
- Extras such as weather or a Wear OS app. The listing does not mention them.
Trade-offs:
- Fewer extras by design
- Check the widget types in the app before you commit
5. Proton Calendar: Best for an encrypted calendar
Android. Free with a Proton account, paid plans for more. The Proton Calendar listing says there are no ads, no trackers and no data sharing, with end-to-end encryption between Proton users. It has an upcoming-events widget for the home screen. Proton's help pages say free accounts get 3 calendars and paid plans allow more.
Replaces Business Calendar 2's:
- Day, week and month planning with recurring events
- Reminders
- A home screen widget
Does not replace:
- Showing the calendars already on your phone. Proton's pages describe importing events, not a live view of your Google calendar.
Trade-offs:
- You move your calendar into a Proton account.
- Check the views in the app. The listing mentions daily and monthly planning but does not list a week view.
6. Super Agenda: Best if you only want the widget
Android 11 and newer. Free to download, with one one-time in-app purchase, Super Agenda Pro. This is our own app, so weigh it as you would any claim from its maker. It is a home screen widget, not a calendar app. It shows the events of the calendars on your phone, so Google Calendar and any account that syncs to the Android calendar work. It has no account and no ads. It has no sync of its own.
Replaces Business Calendar 2's:
- The agenda widget, with day headers, an optional timeline and one or two columns
- Several widgets, each with its own calendars and style
- Time settings: past events, days ahead, event limit, hide declined and all-day events
Does not replace:
- A month grid, tasks, weather or sync of its own
- The planner itself. Keep a calendar app for editing events.
Trade-offs:
- Style options such as colors, layouts, presets and day and night themes need Super Agenda Pro. The time settings and calendar choice are free.
- A tap on an event opens it in your calendar app.
