If you want a lower price, a free plan or AI scheduling, these are the planners to weigh against Sunsama, which costs $17 a month billed yearly and $22 billed monthly. We make Mihaly, so it comes first; the rest follow by price, with the case for each.

Free plan. Pro price depends on your region.
Best for a visual timeline on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
