Short answer: choose Indify if you need a synced Google or Outlook calendar, an image gallery, or widgets for Coda, Obsidian or Canva. Choose Dearly Peculiar if you want themed trackers, gamified goals, fandom or moving-home widgets that match a soft, illustrated Notion page. Both have a free tier, and you can use both on one page.

When Indify is the better choice
- You want your Google or Outlook events inside Notion.
- You need an image gallery, buttons or a click counter.
- You also build pages in Coda, Obsidian, Canva or Google Sites.
- You want more than three free widgets.
When Dearly Peculiar is the better choice
- You want widgets that look made for an aesthetic page, with matching themes across a set.
- You track things inside the page itself: habits, moods, water, savings, reading or no-spend days.
- You like gamified goals such as Boss HP or Hero Card, or fandom widgets such as Slow Burn.
- You would rather pay once than keep a subscription.
Moving a widget from Indify to Dearly Peculiar
- Find the matching widget in the widget catalogue and preview it.
- Sign in, claim it and copy its embed link.
- In Notion, add a new line, type
/embed, choose Embed and paste the link. - Resize it to the old block's space, then delete the old embed.
Clocks, countdowns, timers and weather swap over cleanly. A synced Google Calendar does not have a Dearly Peculiar equivalent, so keep Indify for that one.
Frequently asked questions

Is Dearly Peculiar free?
Yes, with a free account. It embeds up to three different widgets, and one of them can be fully customised at no cost. See current pricing.
Which is better for a Google Calendar in Notion?
Indify. It offers Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar widgets. Dearly Peculiar calendars are standalone and do not connect to Google or Outlook.
Can I use both on one Notion page?
