Both buttons end in the same live calendar. It appears as [Fred] Fairfields Primary School and Nursery alongside your own, and because it stays linked to this page, if Fairfields Primary School and Nursery moves an inset day or corrects a date it changes on your phone by itself — Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook.
The difference is what happens next. Fred sets it up on whichever calendar app you actually use — the steps are not the same on an iPhone as in Google — and then he can tell you when Fairfields Primary School and Nursery moves that inset day, work out who is covering it, and take the deadlines, kit lists and payments that arrive with the term. A calendar can only sit there. Taking the link yourself is free and always will be.
