ChronoFlo Calendar

What ChronoFlo Calendar is

ChronoFlo Calendar is a browser-based tool for building interactive event calendars that people can share online or embed on a website. Its timeline lets visitors scroll through events, while calendar creators can select a hand-designed theme or make a custom one to fit their branding. Calendars can include images, video and audio. The product is suited to event, school, family, legal and project calendars. It works in a browser and requires nothing to download; it is available on the web and as an extension.

The Free plan costs nothing and includes one calendar, web sharing, a custom theme, images and video, category colors, and up to 50 current events. Paid plans start at $10/mo. Bronze costs $10 a month and adds embedding, up to five calendars, 5,000 monthly embeddable views, RSS and iCal feeds, up to 500 current events and image uploads. Silver costs $27.50 a month and allows up to 25 calendars, 30,000 monthly embeddable views, RSS, iCal and JSON feeds, and up to 1,000 current events. Feed support is a premium feature. A WordPress plugin embeds a calendar using a shortcode and requires a self-hosted or third-party WordPress installation. Accounts cannot be used commercially to create calendars for other companies; digital and communications agencies are directed to contact the maker. The product site credits Webalon Ltd.
