Teamup is a cloud-based calendar solution that facilitates coordination between team members, with features that enable them to access needed information. Additionally, Teamup has Android and iOS apps to enable convenient access to calendars on the go.
Calendars and Sub-Calendars
Teamup’s core functionality lies in its calendar and sub-calendar structure. Sub-calendars can be created for people, projects, or just about anything. These sub-calendars have all the functionality of the main calendar, but avoid all the clutter of having a team or organization-wide central calendar. All of the content of the sub-calendars appear on the main calendar. This structure aims to allow managers to have a bird-eye view while enabling employees to see their schedules quickly and easily.
Of course, not everybody in the organization needs full access to the central calendars. That is why Teamup has nine levels of access permissions, ranging from administrator to read-only to not shared. These permission levels enable administrators to allow employees precisely the level of access they need and help avoid unnecessary modifications and confusion.
Price Tiers and Use Cases
Teamup has four price tiers: Free, Basic, Premium, and Enterprise. The Free tier provides the basic functionality with up to eight sub-calendars and one year of historical data. The basic tier provides password protection and daily agendas as well as additional calendars and historical access. The premier tier provides 50 sub-calendars and 10 years of historical data in addition to custom fields and file and image uploads. The Enterprise tier provides 150 sub-calendars, up to 30 custom fields, up to 50 options for any choice field, and phone call back consultation.
Teamup’s price tiers ensure it has some use case for organizations of every size. The free and basic tiers, with their low cost and limited usage and features, may be useful for smaller organizations looking to better coordinate their workflow. However, Teamup will compete heavily Google calendar and Outlook calendar in this area, as these two may be more familiar to the average user and sufficient to cover the use case.
However, the larger tiers help Teamup differentiate itself. Teamup’s collaborative-but-centralized calendar may be more beneficial to large organizations than other calendar software’s individual-centered approach. This is especially true since Teamup’s numerous access permissions can help mitigate a central calendar’s potential drawbacks of accidental modifications or conflicting scheduling by different parts of the organization. This means managers can look at a single location as opposed to a web of individual calendars while employees maintain a clean, individual calendar.
