Production pricing starts at $819 a month billed yearly.\n\n**Microsoft Graph Calendar API.** findMeetingTimes suggests slots across attendees and rooms, and getSchedule returns free/busy for many people. 4 concurrent requests per app per mailbox.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Cronofy API\n\n1. Call the data centre host the account was created in (api-uk, api-de and so on), since data never crosses regions\n2. Reuse the same `event_id` when retrying an event write, since Cronofy upserts on it\n3. Ask for `response_format` slots when you want bookable times rather than free periods\n4. On 423, ask the user to relink, since Cronofy has already emailed them\n5. Keep under 50 requests a second and 500 a minute, and pause on 429\n\n### Microsoft Graph Calendar API\n\n1. Send `Prefer: outlook.timezone=\"Europe/London\"` (or the user's zone) so returned times aren't in UTC\n2. Set a `transactionId` on event creates so a retry doesn't double-book\n3. Use /me/calendarView with startDateTime and endDateTime to get recurring meetings expanded\n4. Honour `Retry-After` on 429 and keep to 4 parallel calls per mailbox\n5. Ask for Calendars.ReadBasic when you don't need event bodies\n\n## Other comparisons with Cronofy API or Microsoft Graph Calendar API\n\n- [Apiroc Unified Calendar API vs Cronofy API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apiroc-vs-cronofy.md)\n- [Apiroc Unified Calendar API vs Microsoft Graph Calendar API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apiroc-vs-microsoft-graph-calendar.md)\n- [Cal.com API v2 + MCP vs Cronofy API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cal-com-vs-cronofy.md)\n- [Cal.com API v2 + MCP vs Microsoft Graph Calendar API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cal-com-vs-microsoft-graph-calendar.md)\n- [Calendly API + MCP vs Cronofy API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/calendly-vs-cronofy.md)\n- [Calendly API + MCP vs Microsoft Graph Calendar API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/calendly-vs-microsoft-graph-calendar.md)\n- [Cronofy API vs Google Calendar API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cronofy-vs-google-calendar-api.md)\n- [Cronofy API vs Nylas Calendar and Scheduler API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cronofy-vs-nylas-calendar.md)\n- [Google Calendar API vs Microsoft Graph Calendar API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-calendar-api-vs-microsoft-graph-calendar.md)\n- [Microsoft Graph Calendar API vs Nylas Calendar and Scheduler API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/microsoft-graph-calendar-vs-nylas-calendar.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Cronofy API vs Microsoft Graph Calendar API", "url": "" } ], "description": "Microsoft Graph Calendar API has a score of 65.6 (B) against Cronofy API's 64.4 (B).
