Clockwise vs Reclaim.ai: which one fits your team?
These two are after the same job: take the mess on your calendar and sort it out without asking you. The difference is how much of your day each one is willing to move.
It turns on how much control you are willing to hand over, and whether you already have somewhere for the work itself to live.
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 Reclaim.ai if
your task system is settled and the only thing missing is somebody guarding the gaps between your meetings. Where it stops: it layers on a task manager, so it is never the only tool.
What it costs
For a team of 5, billed yearly: Clockwise does not publish a per seat price we can put in this sum, Reclaim.ai is about $480 a year, and UnaTask is €480 plus VAT.
Clockwise: No longer offered. Clockwise shut down on 27 March 2026. Reclaim.ai: A generous free tier, then roughly $8 to $15 per user per month.

Side by side
| What it does | Clockwise | Reclaim.ai | UnaTask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time blocking on a calendar | Gone | Yes. Blocks are placed automatically around your meetings. | Core |
| A plan for today and this week | Gone | Partly | Core |
| Two way calendar sync | Gone | Core. Two way with Google and Microsoft 365, and very good at it. | Yes |
| It is the task manager itself | No. It was a calendar optimiser, never a task manager. | No. It reads your tasks from somewhere else. It is not where they live. | Core |
| Dependencies and a timeline | No | No | Yes. Dependencies with a timeline that shows what is waiting on what. |
| See who has room | Gone | Partly | Core |
| Booking links | Gone | Yes | Yes |
| Meetings become tasks | No | No | Yes |
| Email and chat become tasks | No | Partly | 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 | Gone | Partly | Partly. Team workload and project progress, not portfolios that roll up to a board. |
| Rules that fire on their own | Gone | Yes | 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 | Gone | Yes | Core |
| A free plan | Gone | Yes | Yes |
What should not decide it
They answer the same on 6: being the place the tasks actually live, dependencies and a timeline, turning meetings into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, docs and a wiki inside and AI that does the work rather than the scheduling.
And where UnaTask sits
UnaTask is the other answer to the same problem. You place the blocks, so nothing gets shuffled without you, and the tasks live in the same tool instead of somewhere else.
It does more than both of them on time blocking on a calendar, having a plan for today, being the place the tasks actually live, dependencies and a timeline, showing who has room, turning meetings into tasks, turning email and chat into tasks, linking pull requests to the work, docs and a wiki inside, AI that does the work rather than the scheduling and being useful before you configure it.
