Calrows
Sheets2GCal alternatives in 2026
Sheets2GCal is the biggest add-on for moving data between Google Sheets™ and Google Calendar™, with millions of installs. Its Marketplace rating is around 3.2, and the reviews explain why people look elsewhere. This page is written by the makers of Calrows, so read it as one option's view, and check the reviews yourself.
What the reviews in this category complain about
We read the most recent reviews of every major add-on in the category before building Calrows. The same points came up across several apps:
- Listed as free, then charges after the first use or after a handful of events, with pricing not shown up front.
- Paid, but the add-on still says free plan.
- Syncs that die with "exceeded maximum execution time" on larger sheets.
- Imports that pull the calendar's entire history with no date range.
- Requiring an account on the developer's website.
- Support that never replies.

When Sheets2GCal is still the right choice
If you already have it working and rely on a feature Calrows doesn't have, keep it. It has been around for years and supports domain-wide plans for Google Workspace administrators, which Calrows will add later.
When to switch
If you've hit the time-limit error, want a date range on imports, need timesheets, or want to know exactly what a run did and why a row failed, Calrows was built for those cases. It installs alongside Sheets2GCal, so you can try it on the same sheet without removing anything.
