A Simple Sunsama AlternativeWeek-first planning without a paid-only planning ritual
Sunsama is a polished paid daily planning ritual for professionals. WeekOrbit takes a different path: a visual weekly board with morning / afternoon / evening blocks, a real free plan, and Pro at $3.9/month.

Why people switch to WeekOrbit
A fraction of the price
Sunsama is paid-only after its trial. WeekOrbit Pro is $19.9 a year - and the free plan is enough to plan a real week.
Week-first, not day-first
Sunsama walks you through today. WeekOrbit shows the whole week on one board, so you can spot an overloaded Thursday before it happens and drag tasks to fix it.
Built-in AI on every plan
Use the planner assistant without setup: Free includes 20 turns/day and Pro includes 500. MCP and the task API remain available when you want Claude or another external assistant to work with the same tasks.
Simple on purpose
No onboarding ritual, no integration setup. Sign up, see your week, start dragging tasks. The whole product fits in your head.
When Sunsama is the better choice
Honest answer: if your workday lives in Asana, Jira, Slack, and Gmail, and you want one place that pulls all of it into a guided daily ritual, Sunsama is excellent at exactly that - and the price reflects a professional tool used for work. WeekOrbit does not sync with those tools and does not try to be a work hub.
Choose WeekOrbit when what you actually need is a clear weekly plan: personal tasks, study plans, side projects, or work that does not depend on pulling tickets from other systems. You get the visual week, time blocks, and AI access - without paying for integrations you would not use.
See your whole week in one view
Start free with smart defer and 20 built-in AI turns/day. Upgrade to Pro for $3.9/month for recurring tasks, month and groups views, and 500 AI turns/day.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is WeekOrbit a good Sunsama alternative?
- It depends on what you use Sunsama for. If you mainly want calm, visual weekly planning with time-of-day blocks, WeekOrbit covers that at a much lower price. If you rely on Sunsama's integrations with Asana, Jira, Slack, or Gmail, WeekOrbit is not a replacement - it does not sync with those tools.
- How does WeekOrbit pricing compare with Sunsama?
- Sunsama is a paid subscription after its 14-day trial, with no free forever plan. Because Sunsama's pricing can change, check their pricing page for the current monthly and yearly rates. WeekOrbit has a free plan, and Pro costs $19.9/year or $3.9/month.
- Does WeekOrbit integrate with Asana, Jira, or Slack?
- No. WeekOrbit deliberately keeps tasks in one place instead of syncing with other tools. Its built-in AI assistant works directly with your plan, while MCP and the task API let external assistants such as Claude do the same.
- Can AI work with WeekOrbit like Sunsama's AI features?
- Yes. WeekOrbit includes a planner-focused AI assistant that can organize your week and update tasks in natural language. The Free plan includes 20 turns/day; Pro includes 500 turns/day. You can also connect Claude or another assistant through MCP or the task API.
