Sunsama review
A guided daily planner for turning tasks, calendars, and workload limits into a focused workday.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sunsama is a daily planner for busy professionals who need to turn a broad task list into a realistic workday. Its guided workflow moves from reviewing previous work to selecting tasks, estimating effort, setting priorities, ordering the day, and optionally placing tasks on a calendar. The hybrid planning method brings together tasks, meetings, recurring work, and calendar timeboxing, while Focus Mode and task timers help users stay with one item at a time. It fits individuals whose main challenge is controlling daily workload rather than managing a large project hierarchy.
The product’s strongest angle is its planning depth. Google, Outlook, and Apple iCloud calendars can be connected, and tasks or meetings can be imported from connected tools. Integrations include Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Gmail, Google Tasks, Jira, Linear, Microsoft Planner, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft To Do, Monday.com, Notion, Outlook, and Outlook Calendar. Planned-time estimates, actual-time tracking, auto-scheduling, recurring task series, AI-generated estimates, and a predicted workload timeline give the daily plan more structure than a basic checklist. Users who want one view across calendars and work-management systems should find this breadth relevant.
Pricing is the main trade-off. According to the vendor’s pricing page, Pro costs $17 per user per month when billed annually or $22 per user per month when billed monthly, with unlimited usage, unlimited integrations, and AI, MCP, and Zapier. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Enterprise adds custom security, compliance, integration, and billing needs, plus SSO, SAML, SCIM, and audit logs. Sunsama is a strong fit for professionals who value guided planning and workload control; users seeking a free planner or standalone mobile replacement should choose another option.
