Do Meetingpad and Notion Calendar do the same thing?

No. Notion Calendar is a calendar client: a beautiful UI for viewing and creating events on your connected Google Calendars. It has a simple booking-link feature. Meetingpad is a comprehensive calendaring workflow for people running multiple Google Workspace accounts, per-identity booking pages that send invites from the correct Gmail, cross-account titleless Busy placeholders, unified availability across every connected account. They can coexist: use Notion Calendar as your reading client, use Meetingpad as your multi-account scheduling workflow.

Can Notion Calendar send invites from multiple Gmail addresses?

The event is created on and sent from whichever calendar you pick in the Notion Calendar UI when you create it. There's no automatic per-booking-link identity routing. If you're running multiple Google Workspaces and you want each booking link to always send from the correct Gmail without you thinking about it, that's what Meetingpad is for.

Does Meetingpad also let me view all my calendars in one place?

Yes, Meetingpad shows a combined view via macOS Calendar.app integration (any Google account connected to Meetingpad AND signed into macOS Calendar.app shows up in the combined view). If having the most beautiful calendar-client UI is your top priority, use Notion Calendar for that. If unified multi-account scheduling with per-identity send is the priority, Meetingpad is designed for it.

COMPARISON

Meetingpad vs Notion Calendar

Notion Calendar (originally Cron) is the best-looking calendar client on macOS. Genuinely. If your job is looking at your calendar and you have one identity, it's a great pick. If your job is running your day across multiple Google Workspaces, accepting bookings on the right one, sending invites from the right Gmail, preventing cross-account double-bookings, Notion Calendar isn't what solves that. Meetingpad is.

The one-line summary

Notion Calendar is a calendar client: a native macOS UI on top of your Google Calendars. Beautiful for reading, quick for creating individual events. Has a simple booking link.

Meetingpad is a comprehensive calendaring workflow for multi-Google-account operators. Every connected Google account is a first-class identity with its own booking link that sends invites from the correct Gmail. Unified availability across every account. Titleless cross-account Busy placeholders. Different tool, different job. They can coexist.

These aren't substitutes, use both

Notion Calendar is a calendar client: a viewer with light creation and scheduling on top. Meetingpad is a scheduling workflow for the multi-account case, with combined-view integration via macOS Calendar.app for reading.

Plenty of Meetingpad users keep Notion Calendar (or Fantastical, or the default Calendar.app) as their daily calendar reader. Meetingpad lives in the menubar and handles the multi-account scheduling layer: booking links, per-identity send, cross-account blockers. Two different jobs, two different tools, no conflict.
