Morgen vs Planzer.io

Morgen

• People managing calendars across Google, Outlook and Apple accounts
• Planning tasks from Notion, Todoist, ClickUp or Linear on a calendar
• Linux users who want a desktop calendar and planner

Planzer.io

• Individuals whose tasks are spread across several work tools
• People who want time estimates compared with tracked time
• Linux users: there is a desktop app beside the Mac and Windows ones

Morgen

• There is no free plan. When the 14-day trial ends, the account is inaccessible until you subscribe.
• Monthly billing is $30 per month for Pro, twice the yearly rate of $15 per month.
• Team plans require a minimum of 2 seats.
• The iOS and Android apps require an account that was first configured on desktop.

Planzer.io

• The free plan stops at 100 tasks; once the limit is reached, new tasks need Pro or extra tasks earned by leaving reviews.
• Pro features are not available in the iPhone, iPad and Android apps, even with an active Pro plan; they work on the web and desktop apps.
• Subscriptions can only be bought and managed on the web or in the desktop apps, not in the mobile apps.
• The vendor describes it as built for individuals, not as a team tool.

Morgen

AI Planner

Proposes a time-blocked plan based on task priority, your capacity and how you like to work, and flags tasks at risk of being late. Plans are only scheduled once you approve them.

Frames

Blocks of time set aside for a type of task, each with its own filters. Together they template your ideal week and steer the AI Planner's suggestions.

Tasks from other tools

Drag tasks from Notion, Todoist, ClickUp, Linear, Obsidian, Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do into the calendar, or use the built-in task list.

Unified calendars

Combines Google, Outlook, Apple, Fastmail and other CalDAV calendars in one view, with calendar sets for switching between groups of them.

Scheduling links and booking page

Booking links let other people choose a meeting time, with your availability checked in real time.

Calendar automations

Syncs events between calendars to block time, and adds travel time and buffers around meetings automatically.

Planzer.io

Guided daily and weekly planning

Plan my day runs in four guided steps and a shutdown ritual closes the day. Plan my week and Review my week do the same at the weekly level.

Time blocking on your calendar

Drag any task onto Google, Outlook or iCloud Calendar as a real event. Resizing the block updates the task's time estimate.

Tasks from 16 integrations

Tasks from tools such as Notion, Todoist, Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Jira and Linear appear in a sidebar and are dragged into the day. Outlook emails can be planned too.

Focus timer and time tracking

Focus sessions run with breaks, overtime and background sounds, and tracked time is compared with each task's estimate day by day.

Projects, goals and templates

Projects carry milestones and goals that tasks link to. Routines and checklists can be saved as templates and added to any day.

AI features on Pro

Pro adds parsing of dates, tags, projects and priorities from typed text, AI break-down of large tasks, a ranked top 3 and a written weekly review.
