What Sunsama does
- AI Summaries
- The privacy policy describes AI summaries of your daily activities and accomplishments, which is useful for standups and weekly reviews when you cannot remember what you finished.
- MCP and Zapier
- Both are listed on the Pro plan, so an outside assistant or an automation can read or change tasks without a higher tier or an extra charge for a connector.
- Unlimited integrations
- The pricing page says Pro has unlimited integrations, so a user is not forced to choose which tools to connect and can pull in tasks from several sources.
- Daily planning ritual
- The product walks a user through choosing tasks for the day and fitting them to the calendar, which differs from lists that simply show everything that is due.
How Sunsama handles your data
The privacy policy says tasks, calendar events, notes and productivity data are never used to train models, and that AI providers may not train on the data. Some AI features keep temporary data for 30 days or less, and account data stays while the account is active. Primary servers are in the United States, on Google Cloud (US West) with MongoDB Atlas and AWS. Controls named include SOC 2 Type 2 attested processes, AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit.
Where Sunsama falls short in practice
- No permanent free tier. After the 14-day trial, a user pays $17 or $22 a month, so casual users with a short list find it expensive next to free apps.
- Annual billing discount. Monthly billing is $22 against $17 on yearly terms, a gap of $60 a year, which penalizes people who want to stay flexible month to month.
- Identity features gated. SSO, SAML, SCIM and audit logs are Enterprise only, and the Enterprise price is not published, so a security team has to open a sales conversation.
