DayWise vs Sunsama

DayWise is an Android daily planner that schedules tasks around a calendar and adjusts the plan when commitments change. Its scheduling considers task priority, deadlines, calendar events, and energy patterns to find time slots. Google Calendar connects directly, and the app plans around existing events. Users can also drag tasks to another slot, change their duration, or move them to tomorrow. DayWise is designed for individuals, including students, freelancers, and professionals, and is available through Google Play for Android 8.0 and later. The Free plan costs nothing and includes manual scheduling and core task management; a 7-day trial is listed. The privacy policy says task information is sent to third-party AI services, including OpenAI, for scheduling suggestions, and is not used to train third-party models under its agreements. Google Calendar events are accessed read-only and are not stored beyond scheduling needs. DayWise also says it encrypts data in transit and at rest and does not sell personal information.

Sunsama brings task management, calendar planning, and daily planning together for professionals. Its hybrid planning method includes recurring tasks, calendar sync, focus sessions, timeboxing, auto-scheduling, Pomodoro sessions, analytics, reminders, and daily shutdowns. It connects with Asana, Jira, Slack, Teams, Notion, Trello, and other services; its Zapier integration connects to more than 9,000 apps. Sunsama runs on iOS/iPadOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is paid, with no free plan. Pricing starts at $17 per user per month with annual billing; the listed monthly plan is $22. A 14-day trial offers unlimited access to all features. Enterprise options include SSO, SAML, SCIM, audit logs, and custom privacy requirements, with no price listed. Added workspace members are billed automatically, with mid-month additions prorated. Users can cancel at any point and retain access through the billing cycle.
