If you want a daily plan on the Mac without a subscription, HWH is free to download and fully useful without paying. It sits beside the mail, calendar, and task tools you already use, and it builds that plan on your Mac. Sunsama is a guided daily planner with a paid workspace, apps on more than the Mac, and team features HWH does not try to match.
Native macOS app · Available now on the Mac App Store · Free to download, every feature earnable through use. The optional Founder Pack is $29.99 once, never required, and not a subscription.
This table compares what each product publishes about price, platforms, and how a day gets planned. It leaves out anything neither site states.
| Topic | HWH | Sunsama |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free on the Mac App Store. Every feature can be earned through normal use. You start with 3 silver coins, about 10 days’ head start. An optional Founder Pack ($29.99, one-time) unlocks everything immediately. It is never required, and it is not a subscription. | Sunsama’s billing guide lists one Pro plan at $22 per user per month, or $17 per user per month when billed annually ($204 per user per year). New accounts get a 14-day trial, and Sunsama takes payment details only if you upgrade. Sunsama says it does not offer a free plan that lasts indefinitely. The pricing page also lists an Enterprise plan for custom security, compliance, and billing. Non-profit pricing and a student discount are available by application. |
| Platforms | A native Mac app for macOS 14 or later. HWH does not publish an iPhone, iPad, Windows, Android, or Apple Watch app. | A web app, desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and iOS and Android apps. Sunsama describes the mobile apps as a companion to the web app. |
| Account and the plan | No HWH account. HWH builds the plan on your Mac and does not keep an HWH server copy of your tasks, plans, notes, scores, or source context. Connected tools, optional AI, diagnostics, Game Center, and this website each have their own data flow, set out in the privacy policy. | Sunsama is an account inside a billed workspace. The billing guide says workspace data is permanently deleted 30 days after a cancelled subscription ends, unless you subscribe again or start a new trial. |
| How the day is planned | One current task at a time, with a link back to the source. Quick replanning when the day changes. Planned time set against actual time. Habits, metrics, and life-area balance across Health, Wealth, Happiness, and Work. | Sunsama’s homepage describes planning a realistic day, timeboxing work on the calendar, adjusting the plan as the day moves, and reviewing where time went. It also lists focus mode, a Pomodoro timer, weekly objectives, and auto-scheduling. |
| Existing tools | Works alongside the tools you already use, rather than replacing them: Apple Mail, Gmail, Microsoft 365/Exchange mail, Apple Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Things 3, OmniFocus, Todoist, Asana, Jira, Redmine, Safari Reading List, and TheBrain. | Sunsama’s homepage says it brings calendars, project tools, task apps, and email and messaging into one daily list. It names Google, Outlook, and Apple calendar sync, examples such as Asana, Trello, and Jira, and turning Slack and Teams messages into tasks. It also lists Zapier. |
| Teams | Not a team project planner. There is no shared HWH workspace, SSO, or admin billing. | A shared workspace is billed per user. The pricing page lists Enterprise with SSO and SAML, SCIM, and audit logs, and says Sunsama is SOC 2 compliant. |
| AI | An optional assistant, off by default. It uses an API key you provide, with a provider you choose. HWH is not the AI provider, and the Founder Pack does not include AI usage credits. | The Pro plan on the pricing page includes AI, MCP, and Zapier. |
Both products are for a person who wants one deliberate day. They differ in what you pay, where the app runs, and whether a team has to sign off.
