Sunsama

Motion

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.

Motion

Automatic scheduling: A scheduling engine places tasks into openings on your calendar based on duration, priority and deadlines, and rebuilds the plan as the day changes.
Tasks and projects: Tasks sit inside projects and workspaces, and AI can draft a project and its tasks from a description. Timelines and Gantt charts need Business AI.
Calendar sync: Connects Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook (Office 365 and Exchange Online) and iCloud Calendar. The iCloud connection has a more limited feature set.
Booking links: A shareable link lets other people book meetings based on your real-time availability. You set rules for availability, duration, buffers and limits.
AI Notetaker: Captures transcripts from video calls and drafts summaries and action items, which you approve before they become tasks.
AI Chat and Docs: A chat interface creates items and searches workspace data, and collaborative docs include AI drafting. AI use draws on the plan's monthly credits.

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.
