Sunsama

What is Sunsama?

Sunsama is a calm daily planner that unifies tasks from email, Slack, and 20+ project tools with Google, Outlook, and Apple calendars. Instead of aggressive auto-scheduling, it guides a 10–15 minute planning ritual, realistic timeboxing, focus mode, and end-of-day shutdown—popular with GTM operators fighting burnout while still shipping pipeline and content work.

Key features

Guided Daily Planning

Step-by-step morning ritual: process yesterday, plan, prioritize, prepare, and optionally publish to Slack.

Unified Work Inbox

Pull tasks from Asana, Jira, Linear, Notion, Todoist, Gmail, Slack, Teams, and more into one daily list.

Timeboxing & Calendar

Drag tasks onto calendars with task projections, locked blocks, and bi-directional sync to Google, Outlook, and iCloud.

Focus & Shutdown

Focus mode, Pomodoro timers, break reminders, and shutdown workflow to end on time without guilt.

Weekly Objectives & Analytics

Weekly planning/review plus insights on where time went across tasks and meetings.

AI Assistant (Sunny)

In-app assistant, voice planning, AI task duration estimates, plus MCP and Zapier on Pro.

Sunsama pricing

14-day full-feature trial with no credit card; no perpetual free plan. Pro is $17/person/month billed yearly ($204/year) or $22/person/month monthly. Every workspace member is billed individually—two people on annual Pro is $34/month effective. Enterprise is custom for SSO/SAML, SCIM, audit logs, and centralized admin. Sunsama explicitly avoids lifetime deals, psychological $X.99 pricing, and Black Friday discounting per its pricing manifesto. Student and nonprofit discounts exist via email application without published percentages.

Pros & cons

Pros

+ Intentional planning reduces overcommitment—a strong fit for IC GTM roles juggling many tools.
+ Deep integrations consolidate scattered tasks without replacing Asana/Jira as system of record.
+ Shutdown ritual improves boundaries for customer-facing teams prone to evening Slack.
+ SOC 2 and IT questionnaire support ease enterprise procurement vs hobbyist planners.
+ Transparent pricing philosophy and no dark-pattern trial billing.
+ Bi-directional calendar sync respects external calendar as source of truth.

Cons

− No free tier—evaluation limited to 14-day trial.
− Per-person pricing adds up quickly for larger GTM teams vs seat-based PM tools.
− Gentle auto-scheduling is weaker than Motion/Reclaim for fully autonomous calendars.
− Premium price vs Todoist/Notion for teams that only need lightweight lists.
− Mobile experience trails desktop for heavy daily planning workflows.
− No meeting-negotiation agent—scheduling external guests still needs another tool.

Who is Sunsama best for?

• Founders and operators who overcommit and want realistic daily plans.
• Cross-functional GTM contributors pulling work from many SaaS tools daily.
• Teams valuing mindfulness and shutdown over algorithmic calendar takeover.
• Organizations where IT requires SOC 2 before connecting email and calendars.
• Individuals paying ~$1/workday for a professional-grade ritual, per Sunsama’s positioning.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sunsama auto-charge after the trial?

No. Sunsama states it does not automatically charge when the 14-day trial ends; you choose a plan to continue.

How is team billing handled?

Each person added to a workspace is billed at the plan rate; mid-month joins are prorated.

Is there a free forever plan?

No. Sunsama’s pricing manifesto says it does not offer permanent free plans by design.
