Compare planners
Most planners help you make a list. The harder question is whether you can see a day is already too full before you commit to it. So that is what we hold each tool against, one at a time.
The one thing we compare on
We are not going to score forty features. Three things decide whether a planner fits a freelancer, so those are the three we hold every tool against.
Not whether a tool can warn you about a full day, but where and how. TaskBerry sizes tasks and turns the board red before you start, on the screen you live in.
TaskBerry has a real free plan and Pro at €4.95 a month. Most planners aimed at this work charge about $20 a month or more per person.
One screen, one day, one person. No seats, no shared workspace, no project hierarchy. Some tools do teams well, and we say so where they do.
Side by side
Each comparison gives the other tool credit where it earns it, then shows where TaskBerry fits a solo day.
AI auto-scheduling that fills your calendar for you. A different bet than seeing a day is full and choosing what to drop.
A command bar that pulls tasks from everywhere into one place. Strong on capture, lighter on capacity.
A fast, flexible task list with deep filters. Great for keeping lists, not built to show a day is over capacity.
The wedge
Nine hours of work does not fit in a six hour day. Your task list does not know that. TaskBerry sizes each task and shows it on a bar that turns red while you are still planning, not at 5pm.
9h planned, 6h in the day. 3h over before you start.
Start free, add a real day, and watch what happens when the plan runs past the hours you have.
