Switching from EventPrime: common questions
What is the best alternative to EventPrime?
Events Manager is the closest match: it shares the Event Plugins top 10 with EventPrime and has 60,000+ active installs with a 4.2 out of 5 rating.
Which EventPrime alternative has the most users?
The Events Calendar, with 600,000+ active installs reported by WordPress.org.
Which EventPrime alternative is rated highest?
Events Shortcodes For The Events Calendar, rated 4.9 out of 5 by 214 reviewers. Only plugins with at least 50 reviews are counted.
Are these EventPrime alternatives free?
Every plugin listed here is free to install from WordPress.org. Where WordPress.org marks a plugin as commercial, the developer also sells a paid version or add-ons, and that is shown on each plugin.
How are alternatives chosen?
Automatically, from WordPress.org data: plugins that share a category top 10 with EventPrime score highest, then plugins that appear in the same WordPress.org rankings, then plugins with the same tags, weighted so rare tags count more than common ones. Plugins by the same author and plugins rated under 4.0 are left out.
How we choose these alternatives
Nothing on this page is picked by hand. Every day we walk the whole WordPress.org directory, then score every plugin against EventPrime on three signals: sharing a category top 10 counts most, then appearing in the same WordPress.org rankings, then carrying the same tags, with rare tags counting for more than common ones like "wordpress". Plugins by the same author are excluded, so an author's own add-ons cannot fill the list, and so is anything rated below 4.0 or with fewer than 100 active installs. The ten highest scores are what you see, in that order. Full methodology.
The bottom line
Events Manager is the closest match to EventPrime by the data we track, and The Events Calendar has the widest reach with 600,000+ active installs. Events Manager shipped the most recent release, on October 21, 2026. The list is rebuilt every day from WordPress.org, so a plugin that stops being maintained drops out on its own.
