Power Planner vs SuperPlanner

Power Planner is a student homework planner that syncs assignments, class schedules, grades, and GPA across devices. Students can enter homework and exams with due dates and receive automatic reminders, then add class times and room locations to view a weekly schedule. The app tracks grades by class, calculates GPA across semesters, and includes a “What If?” mode for planning ahead. Classes and homework can appear in Google Calendar. It supports standard and rotating A/B week schedules, but not fully custom non-A/B class schedules; the maker also says there is no Canvas or Blackboard integration. The Free plan costs nothing and is limited to one semester, five grades per class, one repeating bulk task or event entry, and one photo attachment per item. Premium is a one-time lifetime purchase listed at $4.99 a month, with unlimited semesters and more than five grades per class. Power Planner is available on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and web browsers, with web marked beta. An online account is optional; local-account data stays on the device.

SuperPlanner is a visual day planner and task manager for iOS and macOS. It uses time blocking to place activities and tasks on a timeline, with events from calendars already on the device shown alongside planned activities. Activities can have custom repetition rules, different times on different days, notifications, icons and colors. Tasks support priorities, lists, reminders, notes, images, tags and colors, and can be linked to activities or calendar events. A horizontal Day Summary displays current events, overdue items, anytime tasks and what comes next; overdue items can be moved to today, tomorrow, the next weekday or their next occurrence. The Mac app adds a menu bar Command Bar and global shortcut to search tasks, run commands or capture a task from another app. Widgets, Do Next suggestions and Live Activities on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen are also available. No sign-up is required. The maker says app data is stored locally and in the user’s private iCloud account, while anonymous crash, performance and analytics data is gathered. The free plan has limited features; Pro Monthly is $4.99 a month with a three-day free trial.
