Which one is for you

Pick Planyway if

  • Fits if your team plans work on Trello boards
  • Works for one person who wants Trello cards on a calendar

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you do not use Trello, Jira or GitHub
  • Tight if you stay free, as timeline, Gantt and workload are Team, and Google two-way sync is Individual
  • Watch out: only paid seats get paid features, and other board members stay on free
  • Watch out: the prices read are the annual ones, and the trial length is not stated

Pick Reclaim.ai if

  • Fits if you live in Google Calendar or Outlook and want focus time blocked out for you
  • Works for people whose tasks sit in Todoist, Asana or Jira and never reach the calendar

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if your calendar is on iCloud, as it works only with Google Calendar and Outlook
  • Tight if you stay on Lite, which plans 1 week ahead with 1 calendar sync and 1 scheduling link
  • Pricey if you want unlimited calendar syncs and links, because that's Business at $15 a seat a month
  • Not for you if you want a proper phone app, because there's only a web app you add to your home screen
  • Watch out: Starter stops at 10 seats, and SSO needs Enterprise with at least 100 seats on annual billing

How we grade them

2.4GPAPlanywayFair2.0GPAReclaim.aiFair
Value for money
B$3 per user a month billed annually on Team, inside the cheapest quarter of calendar tools.
DStarter is $10 a seat a month billed annually, $12 monthly, against a $6 middle for calendar tools. And Starter still caps you at 3 calendar syncs, 3 scheduling links and an 8-week range: unlimited syncs and links, the 12-week range and webhooks all sit on Business at $15.
Free plan and trial
BThe free plan for individuals has calendar views, priorities, filters, URL calendar sync and mobile apps.
CThe free Lite plan covers one user with focus time, habits and buffer time. But it schedules 1 week ahead, with 1 calendar sync and 1 scheduling link, and tasks stop at Google Tasks. You'll hit all of those in a day.
Features
DIt is an add-on that needs Trello, Jira or GitHub to be useful at all.
CFocus blocks, habits, tasks placed around meetings, times found across attendees and booking links: it does the auto-scheduling job fully. But it's a smaller job than a calendar app's, because Reclaim has no calendar of its own and only works with Google Calendar and Outlook.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. You install it into Trello and connect calendars.
CThere's no store rating on record to go by, and the listing has you connect Google or Outlook and then set focus-time goals and habits before anything gets placed. That's setup, not open-and-go.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb, browser extension and mobile apps, with Trello, Jira, GitHub and Google Calendar.
BA web app only, with no native iPhone or Android app, though it can be added to a home screen. It does tie into Slack, Zoom, Todoist, Asana, Jira and ClickUp, and Business adds webhooks.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
