Sunsama alternative
A Sunsama alternative where your logged hours turn into client reports
Sunsama plans a calm, realistic day, and it is one of the most thoughtful planners in the category. TaskBerry works the same way and sizes each task in minutes, so the board turns red when the plan runs past the hours you have. The difference: your logged hours become a client-ready report, and Pro is €9.95 a month.
Honest fit
Who each one is really for
Sunsama fits calendar-heavy and team work
If your day lives in Google or Outlook, you plan around a lot of meetings, or you want a shared workspace to coordinate with a few people, Sunsama is the more mature fit. Its calendar sync and guided ritual are good, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
TaskBerry fits one freelancer asking one question
If you run 2 to 5 clients on your own and the real risk is saying yes to a day that is already full, TaskBerry is built for exactly that. One screen, one day, one person, no seats and no team overhead.
Same full day
Two ways to see the same full day
Both tools can tell you a day is overbooked. The honest difference is where and how you see it.
9 hours of work planned into a 6 hour day.
TaskBerry
The board sizes it and turns red
Every task gets a time size automatically. The bar fills as you add work and turns red on the screen you already live in, no number to maintain.
3h over before you start
Sunsama
You enter the times yourself
You type a planned time for each task, and Sunsama totals them inside its plan-your-day flow so you can see the day filling up.

The price gap
What it costs, plainly
TaskBerry has a real free plan you can stay on, and Pro is €9.95 a month with VAT included. Sunsama has no free plan and costs $22 a month, or $17 billed yearly (USD), as of July 2026. The gap is the point: TaskBerry does less, on purpose, for one person.

Switching
Trying it does not undo Sunsama
You can start on the free plan in a couple of minutes and keep Sunsama open in another tab. If TaskBerry fits the way you plan, the move is small: a handful of tasks and your labels. If it does not, you have lost nothing and you keep your free plan.

Honest answers
Questions worth asking first
- Is TaskBerry a full Sunsama replacement?
- No. If you need calendar sync, a shared workspace, or a guided daily ritual, Sunsama does those things better. TaskBerry is a replacement only if your real need is solo capacity: seeing that today is already full before you commit.
- What does Sunsama do better?
- Calendar sync with Google and Outlook, shared workspaces for light coordination, and a more mature, guided plan-your-day flow. It has been at this longer, and for calendar-heavy work it shows.
- Why is TaskBerry cheaper?
- Because it does less, on purpose. There are no seats to pay for, no team features to build, and no calendar engine to run. It is one screen for one person, so the price stays at €9.95 a month and the free plan is real.
