Teamup's free plan caps out at 5 sub-calendars, 5 users and 1 year of history, and by its own knowledge base, Teamup does not currently offer an RSVP system (as of September 2026).
Junto is a shared calendar built around RSVP: 8 free members, going, maybe or not going on every event, and who's going shown right on the page.
If your group needs people to actually respond, not just see a schedule, that's the gap Junto fills.
Teamup's free tier gives you 5 sub-calendars, 5 users and 1 year of history. Past that, the Plus plan is $12/mo billed yearly, or $15 monthly.
For a small group calendar, 5 users disappears fast: a family of four with one shared errand calendar is already near the limit, before you add a babysitter or a co-parent.
The 1-year history cap is easy to miss until you hit it: anything you scheduled more than a year ago on the free plan is no longer there to look back on. That's a real limit for a calendar meant to be a group's running record.
"Teamup does not currently offer an RSVP system" (as of September 2026, per Teamup's own knowledge base). There is no going, maybe or not going on an event, and no per-person response.
That matters if the reason you're comparing calendars is to know who's actually coming to something, not just who can see it.
A calendar that everyone can view but nobody has to answer works fine for a resource, like a meeting room. It works less well for a group of people, where the actual question is always: is it just me showing up to this, or is everyone in?
Junto is free for private calendars up to 8 members, with RSVP built into every event: going, maybe or not going. Turn on who's going and the names show right on the event.
No login to join, just a link and a name. A one-time $4.99 plus tax removes the 8-member cap on a calendar that outgrows it, and it is a single payment, not a subscription.
Public calendars have no member limit at all, and are free. Members can also download a .ics file per event to keep on their own phone calendar, and admins can turn on optional email reminders so nobody has to remember to check.
Teamup's permission model is far more granular than Junto's. It has real sub-calendars, custom fields, and link-level permissions you can hand out separately: view-only for some people, edit access for others, admin for a few.
That makes Teamup the better fit for an organisation scheduling rooms, staff shifts or shared resources, where different people need different access to different parts of one system. Junto doesn't have any of that: it's a single calendar per group, one set of admin controls, no sub-calendars to carve up.
Think of a gym with five studios, a church with a sanctuary and three meeting rooms, or a small business juggling equipment and staff shifts. That's five sub-calendars, five different views for five different roles, and it's exactly what Teamup was built to hold together.
If what you actually need is a calendar for people, not resources, Junto is simpler and it RSVPs. A friend group, a family, a running club: nobody needs a sub-calendar or a custom field, they need to know who's coming.
Free for 8 members covers most groups outright, and the whole thing works without anyone making an account.
There's also nothing to configure. Teamup asks you to decide sub-calendars and permission levels before anyone can use it. Junto asks for a calendar name and you're sharing a link a minute later.
Junto has no sub-calendars, no custom fields and no per-link permission levels, the things that make Teamup fit an organisation. There is one calendar, one admin layer, and everyone with the link sees the same thing (a private calendar just gates entry with a code, not different views per person).
If you're scheduling rooms, staff or resources across a team, Teamup's structure is built for that and Junto's isn't.
Junto also has no custom notification rules or export formats beyond the per-event .ics download. It does one job: a calendar a group of people can RSVP to, without any admin having to design a permission scheme first.
Stay on Teamup if you are already past 5 sub-calendars worth of use, or if you need the permission structure: a venue, a school, a business coordinating rooms or staff.
Switch to Junto if RSVP is the actual missing piece, you're a group of people rather than a set of resources, and you don't want every member creating an account just to say whether they're coming.
Running both isn't unusual either. A venue might keep Teamup for room booking and staff shifts, and run a Junto calendar separately for the group of regulars who show up to a weekly class and need to RSVP.
The free tiers solve different problems. Here is what each one actually includes, side by side.
If you're weighing the two on price alone, remember they charge differently: Teamup bills monthly or yearly for as long as you use it, and Junto charges once, for the one thing it sells, more members on a calendar.

Create a calendar in 30 seconds. No login, no app, free up to 8 members.
No. Teamup's own knowledge base states plainly that "Teamup does not currently offer an RSVP system" (as of September 2026). If you need people to respond going, maybe or not going to an event, Junto has that built into every event, with who's going shown on the page. Create a Junto calendar if RSVP is the feature you're missing.
Teamup's free tier caps out at 5 sub-calendars, 5 users, and 1 year of history. The Plus plan is $12/mo billed yearly or $15 monthly to go past that. If 5 users is too small for your group, Junto is free for up to 8 members with RSVP included. Check whether your group fits under 8 before paying for more room elsewhere.
Junto is built for people rather than resources: a shared calendar with RSVP, free for up to 8 members, no login to join. Teamup is stronger for scheduling rooms or staff across sub-calendars with different permissions, but Junto is simpler if you are just trying to get a friend group or family onto one page. Create a calendar and invite your group to compare.
Not directly. Teamup does not currently offer an RSVP system (as of September 2026), so there is no per-person going/maybe/not-going and no who's-going list on an event. Junto shows exactly that on every event, once who's going is turned on. Switch to a Junto calendar if seeing attendance matters to you.
Yes. Junto is a shared calendar with RSVP on every event (going, maybe, not going) and a who's-going list, which Teamup's own support documentation says it doesn't offer. Junto is free for private calendars up to 8 members, with a one-time $4.99 plus tax to remove that cap. Create a calendar to see RSVP working on your own events.
No, Teamup is accessed by link, without a signup or login, the same as Junto. Where they differ is RSVP and structure: Teamup has sub-calendars and granular link permissions, while Junto has RSVP built into every event and a simpler, single-calendar setup. Try Junto if RSVP is what you actually need.
Teamup's paid Plus plan is $12/mo billed yearly or $15 monthly. Junto charges once: $4.99 plus tax to remove the 8-member cap on a calendar, with no subscription and no renewal. If you only need more members, not sub-calendars or custom fields, Junto's one-time price is the lighter option. Compare both against what your group actually needs before picking one.
Yes, more so than Junto. Teamup's sub-calendars, custom fields and per-link permission levels are built for an organisation handing out different access to different people across shared resources. Junto has none of that: it's one calendar per group, built for people rather than rooms or staff. Stay on Teamup if that structure is what you need.
5 users on Teamup's free plan, alongside 5 sub-calendars and 1 year of history. Junto's free tier allows 8 members on a private calendar, with RSVP included at no extra cost. If your group is between 6 and 8 people and RSVP matters, Junto's free plan covers it where Teamup's would not. Create a calendar to check your group's size against the limit.
Because it has no RSVP system: Teamup's own knowledge base states this plainly (as of September 2026), so there's nothing for a member to respond to and nothing to show as attending. Junto's events carry RSVP by default, going, maybe or not going, with the names visible when who's going is turned on. Use Junto if attendance visibility is the point of the calendar.
If you're using Teamup mainly for a group of people rather than sub-calendars or resource scheduling, yes: create a Junto calendar, share the link and code, and have members join by typing their name. Junto won't bring over Teamup's sub-calendars or custom fields, since it doesn't have either. Start a Junto calendar and rebuild the events you actually use.
Yes. Teamup supports custom fields on events and multiple sub-calendars with their own link-level permissions, which is part of why it fits an organisation scheduling rooms or staff. Junto has neither: no sub-calendars, no custom fields, just one calendar per group with RSVP built in. Pick Teamup if you need that structure, or Junto if you just need people to say yes or no.
