Google API calls quota for calendar: How can an application be built relying on only 10K calls per day?

I want to make an application that would need to use google calendar api. Now the quota for api calls per day per app is 10K. Is this rational? If my app has as few as 10K users making more than one api call a day, it would ran out of quota. So what can i do to avoid this quota? Or what would be the solution for an app that has much more users and needs more api calls?

Yes, this is rational. Google has no obligation to give you unlimited (or bulk) usage of their API that they've provided for free for a service that they've provided for free. That said, yes it is possible to get around or increase this limit. This is what Google says:

The Google Calendar API has a courtesy limit of 10,000 queries per day. If you need capacity beyond this courtesy limit, you can send a request from the Quotas pane of the Google APIs Console.
