It is hard to know what you want.

I sync my iPhone and iPad and Mac contacts using iCloud.

I sync my iPhone and iPad and Mac calendar using Google.

(I could do both with iCloud, or both with Google.)

Both work fine with Mavericks, iOS6,iOS7, Mountain Lion, etc.  Both
are free (in the sense of costing me no money and in the sense of not
exposing me to ads).

No need to spend any money on Mavericks Server or certificates that I
can see, but maybe you have special needs of some kind.  Are you
unwilling to connect any of your devices to the internet for example?
