# Calfeed > Calfeed turns a written schedule into a subscribable calendar link. Describe a schedule in plain language, or upload a PDF, photo, or spreadsheet, and get a calendar link you add to Apple, Google, or Outlook. Share the same link if others need it. Every calendar is free for its first two weeks; $5 or 1 credit covers the whole schedule. > Disambiguation: Calfeed.ai is calendar-publishing software. It is not CALFEED animal-feed additives, the calcium supplements of the same name, the Cal AI calorie tracker, or cal.com. ## Audience Parents organizing kids' activities, trainers publishing multi-week programs, event planners running seasons or run-of-show, community organizers (clubs, PTA, religious groups), and shift workers tracking rotating schedules (nurses, firefighters, EMS, police, and plant/industrial crews on DuPont, Pitman, Panama, 4-on-4-off, or Kelly rotations). Common job: one creator, one schedule, an audience of 10-100 people or a household, no desire to text everyone when the schedule changes. ## Pricing Every calendar is free to build and share for its first two weeks. $5, or 1 credit, covers the whole schedule from then on. Pay-as-you-go credit packs start at $5 for 1 credit and drop to $2.50/calendar in the 10-pack.
