EventBlock vs ShootCal

Event Block is a simple and easy to use scheduling app that you can use to help build a productive routine. Rather than a checklist or daily tasks, Event Block helps you to easily manage and allocate your time using schedules. You can assign various schedules to various days. This way, you can build a consistent and productive routine, while also tracking the time spent on various activities and logging such times to help inform your future scheduling decisions. Furthermore, enable the widget to see your current progress and upcoming activities at a glance.

ShootCal is the calendar app made by a photographer for professional photographers and content creators. Plan portraits, weddings, minis, and real estate shoots around the light that makes them great, and let clients book you online. Your appointments, clients, and tasks are saved in ShootCal, with optional Google or Microsoft calendar sync. Features: Booking, website availability, e-sign contracts, galleries, AI calendar import, golden hour, session types, deposits, reminders, reports, web access, Apple Watch, tides and weather. Online Booking on Your Own Website Embed the live availability calendar on your own site (Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, anywhere) as a clean month grid, or share your booking page link. Clients see open days (never names or details), pick a time or send their date, and the request lands in the app. Accept and it is booked, with the client saved. Instant booking and contact-first modes are available per session type, and the whole page is styled to blend with your website. Contracts Your Clients E-Sign Create a wedding, family, or custom agreement from a built-in template, prefilled with the client, date, and package. Share the signing link and track it from draft to signed. Golden Hour on Autopilot Set a session to start before sunset or after sunrise and ShootCal schedules it automatically, with sun times right on the calendar. Studio-hours and fixed-time modes cover indoor work. AI Calendar Import Scan your calendar and build your client list automatically, with each client matched to a session type and their booking history. You review everything before it is saved. Custom Session Types Reusable presets for families, seniors, minis, engagements, weddings, real estate, and more. Each has its own timing, booking rules, price, and cover photo on your booking page. Deposit Tracking + Client Emails Green paid / red unpaid right on the calendar. Optional confirmation emails when a deposit is received, and automatic reminders before sessions.
