Akiflow vs Clockwise: which one fits your team?
This is the clearest fork in the whole category: one of these decides your day for you, the other asks you to decide it. Everything else follows from that.
It turns on whether you want to stop thinking about the schedule, or whether the thinking is the part that makes the day work.
Pick Akiflow if
you are happy with the task manager you already pay for and only want a sharp planning layer on top of it. Where it stops: it assumes a stack underneath it, and it is single player.
Pick Clockwise if
nothing any more, because it closed on 27 March 2026 after the team joined Salesforce. Where it stops: it is no longer available, so this is a landing spot rather than a comparison.
What it costs
For a team of 5, billed yearly: Akiflow is about $1140 a year, Clockwise does not publish a per seat price we can put in this sum, and UnaTask is €480 plus VAT.
Akiflow: Around $19 per month billed annually, up to $34 monthly. No free plan. Clockwise: No longer offered. Clockwise shut down on 27 March 2026.

Side by side
| What it does | Akiflow | Clockwise | UnaTask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time blocking on a calendar | Core | Gone | Core |
| A plan for today and this week | Core | Gone | Core |
| Two way calendar sync | Yes | Gone | Yes |
| It is the task manager itself | Partly. Designed to layer on the tools you already use. | No. It was a calendar optimiser, never a task manager. | Core |
| Dependencies and a timeline | No | No | Yes. Dependencies with a timeline that shows what is waiting on what. |
| See who has room | No | Gone | Core |
| Booking links | Yes | Gone | Yes |
| Meetings become tasks | No | No | Yes |
| Email and chat become tasks | Core. Pulling work in from other tools is the thing it is best at. | No | Yes |
| Pull requests linked to work | No | No | Yes |
| Docs and wiki inside | No | No | Partly. Docs live on a project, they are not a wiki you would run a company from. |
| Portfolio or agile reporting | No | Gone | Partly. Team workload and project progress, not portfolios that roll up to a board. |
| Rules that fire on their own | Partly | Gone | Yes |
| AI that does the work, not just the scheduling | No | No | Yes. AI teammates you assign a task to. The work comes back on the task for review. |
| Useful before you configure it | Yes | Gone | Core |
| A free plan | No | Gone | Yes |
What should not decide it
They answer the same on 8: dependencies and a timeline, showing who has room, turning meetings into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, docs and a wiki inside, portfolio and agile reporting, AI that does the work rather than the scheduling and having a free plan.
And where UnaTask sits
UnaTask sits on the deciding side, with the difference that your decision is visible to your team and the work lives in the same place as the plan.
It does more than both of them on being the place the tasks actually live, dependencies and a timeline, showing who has room, turning meetings into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, docs and a wiki inside, portfolio and agile reporting, rules that fire on their own, AI that does the work rather than the scheduling, being useful before you configure it and having a free plan.
