European digital family calendars: Zenframe, Dæly, Qudoo and Hive compared

Skylight Calendar and Hearth Display created the category of the wall-mounted digital family calendar, but neither ships to continental Europe. Four European companies now build their own: Zenframe in Norway, Dæly in Austria, and Qudoo and Hive Family in the Netherlands. They differ more than they look — in screen size (15.6 to 24 inches), price (€299 to €649), subscription model, languages and where they deliver. This page puts all four side by side. Competitor figures were read from each maker's own website on 28 September 2026.

  • What about Skylight, Hearth and Cozyla?. Skylight and Hearth are American and do not take orders from continental Europe. Cozyla is sold through an EU webshop at roughly €420 to €1,100 depending on size, but it is not a European company and its software is built for the US market. Skylight alternatives in Europe
  1. Delivery country narrows the list first. Dæly sells in German-speaking countries, Qudoo in the Netherlands and Belgium, Hive in the Netherlands and other EU countries. Zenframe delivers to every EU country and Norway.
  2. Device plus subscription. Over two years: Dæly €299; Zenframe €358 on the free Basis tier or about €514 with Family throughout; Hive about €604; Qudoo €649 to about €775 depending on Premium.
  3. School and sports calendars are the real work. Every display shows Google Calendar. The difference is whether the school timetable, the holidays and the training sessions reach the wall without anyone typing them in.

The day at kid height — they check it themselves.

One tap on their own name and the display walks the child through their morning or evening routine step by step — with read-aloud for pre-readers and rewards that turn chores into something kids actually want to do. Adult settings sit safely behind a code. Kids mode ships with both models.

FAQ

Which digital family calendars are made in Europe?

Four, as of September 2026: Zenframe Display from Norway, Dæly Calendar from Austria, and Qudoo Family Planner and Hive Family from the Netherlands. All four are touchscreens for the wall with a companion app. Skylight, Hearth and Cozyla are not European companies.

Is there a European alternative to Skylight Calendar?

Yes. Skylight does not take orders from continental Europe, so European families choose between Zenframe (delivered to the whole EU, ten languages), Dæly (German-speaking countries), Qudoo (Netherlands and Belgium) and Hive (Netherlands, Belgium and other EU countries).

Which European family calendar has no subscription?

Dæly has no subscription at all. Zenframe includes one year of Family and then keeps calendar, photos, clock and weather free in Basis, with Family as an optional €12.99/month. Qudoo's basic functions work without Premium. Hive works in combination with a subscription: €4.99/month, starting automatically after three included months.

Which one works in several languages?

Zenframe runs in ten languages: English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish. Dæly is German, Qudoo is Dutch, and Hive is Dutch and English.

Which one is cheapest over two years?

Dæly at €299, followed by Zenframe at €358 on the free Basis tier (about €514 with Family throughout), Hive at about €604 and Qudoo at €649 to about €775. The larger Dutch screens cost more because they are 22 and 24 inches.

Which one has a voice or AI assistant?

Zenframe has a voice assistant on the display and an AI assistant that reads school letters and weekly plans from a photo. Dæly has announced an AI assistant as a planned feature. Qudoo and Hive do not describe voice or AI features on their websites.
