The LeapSync alternative to OneCal

Updated 2 June 2026 · LeapSync team

Short answer: OneCal is a solid, well-known calendar-sync tool. People look for an alternative mainly for simpler pricing, a native Apple/iPhone feed, and a stronger privacy stance. LeapSync does real-time two-way sync between Google Calendar and Microsoft 365 / Outlook, adds a private read-only Apple/ICS feed, never stores your event titles or attendees, and starts at $4/month. If you mainly need reliable Google ↔ Outlook sync without per-seat overhead, it's worth a look.

What OneCal does well

Credit where it's due: OneCal handles multi-calendar sync in a single configuration, has a clean setup flow, and offers meeting-scheduling and booking-link features on top of sync. If you want an all-in-one scheduling suite, that breadth is a genuine strength.

Privacy: the biggest practical difference

LeapSync is designed so your calendar content never lives in our database. We store the IDs and timestamps needed to keep two events matched — not the meeting titles, descriptions, or attendee lists. Tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. If you handle sensitive client meetings, that minimised footprint matters.

Frequently asked questions

LeapSync starts at $4/month with flat pricing, while OneCal is priced per user (roughly $5–10/user/month as of 2026). For 1–2 calendars LeapSync is typically cheaper; check both vendors for current pricing.
Does LeapSync sync to my iPhone like OneCal?
LeapSync publishes a private read-only Apple/ICS feed you subscribe to in Apple Calendar via a QR code. OneCal offers a mobile-friendly web view rather than a native feed; approaches differ, so pick what fits your workflow.

Yes. Disconnect OneCal, sign up for LeapSync, connect the same Google and Microsoft accounts, and choose your sync direction. Setup takes about two minutes.
