Clockwise vs Sunsama: 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 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 Sunsama if
the morning ritual is the thing that keeps you honest, and you plan on your own. Where it stops: it is single player, and it pulls tasks in rather than holding them.
What it costs
For a team of 5, billed yearly: Clockwise does not publish a per seat price we can put in this sum, Sunsama is about $1200 a year, and UnaTask is €480 plus VAT.
Clockwise: No longer offered. Clockwise shut down on 27 March 2026. Sunsama: Around $20 per month billed annually, up to $25 monthly. No free plan.

Side by side
| What it does | Clockwise | Sunsama | UnaTask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time blocking on a calendar | Gone | Core | Core |
| A plan for today and this week | Gone | Core | Core |
| Two way calendar sync | Gone | Yes | Yes |
| It is the task manager itself | No. It was a calendar optimiser, never a task manager. | Partly. Tasks are mostly pulled in from the tools you already run. | Core |
| Dependencies and a timeline | No | No | Yes. Dependencies with a timeline that shows what is waiting on what. |
| See who has room | Gone | No. Built for individuals. There is no shared team picture. | Core |
| Booking links | Gone | No | Yes |
| Meetings become tasks | No | No | Yes |
| Email and chat become tasks | No | Yes | 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 | No | Partly. Team workload and project progress, not portfolios that roll up to a board. |
| Rules that fire on their own | Gone | No | 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 | Core | Core |
| A free plan | Gone | No | Yes |
What should not decide it
They answer the same on 10: dependencies and a timeline, showing who has room, booking links, 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 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, booking links, 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 and having a free plan.
