Sunsama alternative
Same goal as Sunsama: plan a calm, realistic day. TaskBerry takes a different shape and a much lower price. The board sizes each task and turns red when the plan runs past the hours you actually have.
Honest fit
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.
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
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
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 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
TaskBerry has a real free plan you can stay on, and Pro is €4.95 a month with VAT included. Sunsama has no free plan and costs $22 a month, or $17 billed yearly (USD). The gap is the point: TaskBerry does less, on purpose, for one person.
Switching
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.
