Sunsama pricing at a glance
As of July 23, 2026, Sunsama’s Pro plan costs $22 per user month to month, or $17 per user per month on the annual plan, charged as $204 once a year. Paying annually saves $60 versus 12 monthly payments, about 23%.
Billing | Current price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
Monthly | $22 per user, billed monthly | Trying Pro without a yearly commitment |
Yearly | $17 per user per month, $204 billed yearly | The lowest published Sunsama rate |
Enterprise | Contact sales | Custom security, compliance and billing needs |
Sunsama’s main pricing panel and billing help center agree on $22 monthly and $17 monthly billed yearly. A lower FAQ on the same pricing page still shows older $25/$20 figures, so this guide follows the checkout-facing panel and current billing documentation.
Does Sunsama have a free plan?
No. Sunsama has no permanent free tier. New users receive a 14-day trial with every feature and no credit card required. You only enter payment details if you choose to upgrade after the trial.
Is Sunsama worth the price?
Sunsama is easiest to justify when its guided daily planning changes how you work, not when it merely stores another task list. At $204 a year, the real question is whether the calmer planning ritual and calendar view save enough attention to become a daily habit.
Sunsama is probably worth it if…
You want a deliberate daily planning ritual instead of an endlessly growing backlog
You pull tasks from several tools and need to time block them beside your calendar
A calmer pace and realistic workload are worth more to you than maximum automation
Sunsama may feel expensive if…
You mainly need quick task capture or a simple recurring to-do list
You will skip the daily planning ritual and use Sunsama like a basic checklist
You need a permanent free option or the $204 annual payment is hard to justify
People value the ritual. Price is the recurring hesitation.
The positive reviews focus on realistic daily planning and a calmer relationship with work. The critical reviews are not subtle: several people like the product but question whether the experience earns a $200-plus yearly commitment.

Alternatives if Sunsama feels too expensive
Choose by the planning behavior you want, not by the longest feature list.
Your real need | Try | Why it may fit better |
|---|---|---|
A visual day with less ceremony | Tasks beside your calendar, a permanent free plan and lower paid pricing | |
A powerful free task manager | Lists, habits and focus tools with an optional low-cost Premium tier | |
A deeper work-app command center | More keyboard-first workflow consolidation and integrations |
Ellie is our product, so here is the honest pitch: try Ellie if you want to see today clearly without paying for a guided planning ritual. Sunsama is the stronger choice if that ritual, its shutdown flow and its calmer pacing are the features you actually want.

Student, nonprofit and referral discounts
Student discount
Sunsama offers a student discount, but it does not publish the percentage. Email support@sunsama.com from a valid student address with your graduation date. Approval lasts until graduation or four years from application, whichever comes first.
Nonprofit discount
Nonprofit organizations can also contact Sunsama support for a discount. The public billing documentation does not state the amount, so confirm the final rate before relying on it.
Referral credit
Sunsama’s referral program currently gives both people a $22 account credit after the invited user upgrades. Referral terms can change, so verify the offer inside your account.
