Our take
Pick BusyCal if households who will pay $49.99 for a denser calendar than Apple’s — not Fantastical’s subscription first unless they want that SKU. Pick Notion Calendar if notion users who will stay on Free at $0 while they open a first week and block Focus time — then Plus at $10/member/month when they need the rest of the Notion Plus card, not Fantastical Premium first unless they want a Flexibits Mac calendar.
