Clockwise vs Notion: which one fits your team?
One protects the hours, the other holds the words. Neither one is trying to do the other’s job, and pairing them leaves a hole in the middle where the actual planning goes.
It turns on whether your team loses more time to a mangled calendar or to decisions nobody wrote down.
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.
Pick Notion if
the thing you need is a place to write, document and think out loud together. Where it stops: a database of tasks is not a plan, and somebody has to build it first.
What it costs
For a team of 5, billed yearly: Clockwise does not publish a per seat price we can put in this sum, Notion is about €570 a year, and UnaTask is €480 plus VAT.
Clockwise: No longer offered. Clockwise shut down on 27 March 2026. Notion: Free plan. €9.50 Plus and €19.50 Business per member per month, with AI credits on top.

Side by side
| What it does | Clockwise | Notion | UnaTask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time blocking on a calendar | Gone | No | Core |
| A plan for today and this week | Gone | Partly | Core |
| Two way calendar sync | Gone | Partly | Yes |
| It is the task manager itself | No. It was a calendar optimiser, never a task manager. | Partly. Tasks are a database you build, not a task manager you are given. | Core |
| Dependencies and a timeline | No | Partly | Yes. Dependencies with a timeline that shows what is waiting on what. |
| See who has room | Gone | Partly | Core |
| Booking links | Gone | No | Yes |
| Meetings become tasks | No | Yes | Yes |
| Email and chat become tasks | No | Partly | Yes |
| Pull requests linked to work | No | Partly | Yes |
| Docs and wiki inside | No | Core. This is the thing it is best at, and it is genuinely hard to beat. | Partly. Docs live on a project, they are not a wiki you would run a company from. |
| Portfolio or agile reporting | Gone | Partly | Partly. Team workload and project progress, not portfolios that roll up to a board. |
| Rules that fire on their own | Gone | Partly | Yes |
| AI that does the work, not just the scheduling | No | Partly | Yes. AI teammates you assign a task to. The work comes back on the task for review. |
| Useful before you configure it | Gone | No. A blank page is the point, and it is also the work. | Core |
| A free plan | Gone | Yes | Yes |
What should not decide it
They answer the same on 3: time blocking on a calendar, booking links and being useful before you configure it.
And where UnaTask sits
UnaTask fills the middle: the tasks that come out of what you wrote down, placed on hours you chose.
It does more than both of them on time blocking on a calendar, having a plan for today, two way calendar sync, being the place the tasks actually live, dependencies and a timeline, showing who has room, booking links, turning email and chat into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, rules that fire on their own, AI that does the work rather than the scheduling and being useful before you configure it.
