Events Calendar Pro vs. Community Events

[Larry]

I just purchased Events Calendar Pro. Now, I see another product called Community Events, which looks to be about 90% the same as Events Calendar Pro – – – but you want another $65 for that product. And, if I buy Community Events can I still use Events Calendar Pro? Aren’t I paying twice for approximately the same product?

Hi there, Larry!

Good question. The Events Calendar PRO and Community Events are entirely different products that extend the core The Events Calendar plugin in unique ways.

The Events Calendar PRO extends The Events Calendar by adding a slew of features to events, such as:

• New calendar view (week, map, photo)
• Recurring events
• Additional fields
• Organizer and venue pages
• Advanced widgets
• …and more which can be seen here

Community Events allows your website visitors to submit events to your calendar. It plays nicely with PRO in that visitors can submit recurring events and include additional fields in their submissions if PRO is installed and activated, but it does not provide those functionalities on its own. Furthermore, Community Events does not itself provide the other features listed above.

Does that help clarify things a bit? Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions about the distinction between the two products and I’d be happy to answer them.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there, Larry! I’m going to go ahead and close this thread since it’s been pretty quiet for a couple of weeks. Please feel free to start a new thread if you run into any other questions and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
