Structured vs Sunsama

Structured

• People who prefer a visual timeline of the day to a plain task list
• Apple users who want one planner on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch

Sunsama

• Professionals who want a fixed routine for planning each workday
• Pulling tasks from several work tools into one daily list
• Linux users: desktop apps cover macOS, Windows and Linux

Structured

• The vendor publishes no price list. Pro pricing depends on region and currency and is shown in the app or app store.

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.

Structured

Visual timeline

Tasks and imported calendar events appear on one timeline for the day, with daily, weekly and monthly views and color coding.

Inbox, subtasks and notes

Tasks can wait in an inbox until they are scheduled, and carry subtasks, notes, icons and notifications. All of this is in the free version.

Calendar and Reminders import

Brings in events from Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook and to-do lists from Apple Reminders and Microsoft To Do. Requires Structured Pro.

Recurring tasks and Replan

Repeat tasks on a schedule, and use Replan to move missed tasks onto another day. Both are Pro features.

Structured AI

Sync across devices

Structured Cloud sync shares data and Pro access between Apple devices, Android and the web app, and the Apple Watch app shows the schedule on your wrist.
