Why people switch from Sunsama to Steadily

Save $168/year

Sunsama costs $20/month (annual) or $25/month. Steadily Pro is $6/month (annual). You save $168/year and get planning intelligence Sunsama doesn't have.

Goal-level planning vs daily planning

Sunsama is optimized for 'What should I do today?' Steadily answers 'How do I actually accomplish this goal by the deadline?' — a fundamentally different and more powerful question.

Behavioral science, not just aesthetics

Sunsama is beautiful — genuinely. But Steadily is built on planning fallacy research, implementation intentions theory, and the Zeigarnik effect. The science makes the results better.

Covers your whole life

Sunsama is focused on professional daily workflows. Steadily handles wedding planning, cross-country moves, debt payoff, career pivots — the big stuff that doesn't fit in a daily planner.

When Sunsama might be the better fit

If you love a calm, guided daily planning ritual and need deep calendar + email integration for work, Sunsama is wonderful. It's best for professionals who want mindful day-by-day planning with timeboxing. If your challenge is bigger than one day — Steadily is purpose-built for that.

The verdict

Sunsama is a premium daily planner for work. Steadily is an AI engine for complex, multi-week goals. If your planning needs extend beyond 'What do I do today?' — Steadily gives you the full picture at a fraction of the cost.
