Koala For Work

Sunsama

Koala For Work

Koala is in beta: the site signs people up to a Koala 2.0 beta ahead of a release it dates to March.
The Mac app is awaiting Apple approval and the Windows app is a desktop beta (version 0.1.0). The download page lists no phone apps.
Prices are in pounds only, and the main pricing section shows no annual option outside the Founding 250 membership.
Integrations named on the site are Google and Outlook calendars, Granola and an MCP connection for AI assistants; more are described as coming soon.

Sunsama

There is no free plan. Workspace access stops when the 14-day trial ends unless you subscribe.
The $17 rate requires paying $204 per user for the year; monthly billing is $22 per user.
SSO, SAML, SCIM and audit logs are limited to the Enterprise plan, which has no public price.
Workspace data is permanently deleted 30 days after a cancelled subscription ends.

Koala For Work

Task breakdown: Work described in your own words comes back as smaller steps sized in minutes, at a size you choose (small, medium or large). Any step can be adjusted.
A day planned to your capacity: Steps are planned across your days up to the deep-work hours you set. Whatever slips is rescheduled by the next morning, and a daily brief opens the day.
Deep-work blocks in your calendar: With Google or Outlook Calendar connected, Koala adds deep-work blocks around meetings, and clears a missed block to find it another time.
Deadline and backlog view: Every action shows its deadline and progress, a deadline that will not fit is flagged early, and the backlog shows how many weeks of work are waiting.
Focus toolkit: The workspace can be set up with timers, checklists, notepads and focus music, choosing only the tools you want to see.
AI assistant and meeting-note connections: Koala connects over MCP so Claude or another AI assistant can read the plan, add work and log what is finished. Granola meeting notes can become actions.

Sunsama

Guided daily planning: A step-by-step routine: review yesterday, add today's tasks, check the predicted workload and set the order. Sunsama can prompt you to start at a set time.
Timeboxing: Drag a task to a time slot, or press X to auto-schedule it. The block shows up in Google, Outlook or iCloud calendar, or on Sunsama's internal calendar.
Tasks from other tools: Bring in work from Asana, Trello, Jira, Linear, Notion, Todoist, Gmail, Slack and others, and plan it alongside tasks created in Sunsama.
Focus mode and Pomodoro: Work on one task at a time with a timer, Pomodoro intervals, break reminders and the option to mute other apps.
Weekly planning and review: A weekly prompt to review where time went and what got done, then set objectives for the week ahead.
AI estimates and channels: Suggests a time estimate and a channel for each new task, based on work you have previously added to Sunsama.
