opah vs Sunsama
Both put your tasks and your calendar in one plan. Sunsama is a daily planner built around planning rituals and timeboxing. opah is built for working for several companies at once, around their issue trackers. Here’s how they differ.

Side by side
| Feature | opah | Sunsama |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A personal planner for working for several companies at once: the issues assigned to you in their trackers, your calendars, meetings, notes, deadlines and time. | A daily planner: guided daily and weekly planning, tasks timeboxed on your calendar, and a daily shutdown. |
| Separate clients | A workspace per company, each with its own projects, connections, calendars, notes and meetings. | Channels and contexts sort your tasks; a channel can be tied to a calendar. Workspaces are for teams, one bill each. |
| Issue trackers | Reads the issues assigned to you from Linear, Jira Cloud, GitHub (and Enterprise Server) and GitLab (and self-managed), and tasks from a Notion database, several connections each. | Jira Cloud, Linear and Notion, several accounts each, and GitHub issues and pull requests: you pick issues into your plan from a side panel. No GitLab integration. |
| Written back to trackers | Only an issue’s status, and only when you turn on Send status for that connection. | Jira’s status when you complete a task (a dialog you can turn off), Linear’s if you turn its prompt on, Notion’s through completion automations. GitHub is read only. |
| Calendars | Google Calendar, several accounts, both ways. No Outlook or iCloud. | Google, Outlook, iCloud and CalDAV, several accounts, both ways. |
| Slack | A message you react to with an emoji becomes an issue in your Inbox, linked back to it. | A message becomes a task through the Sunsama bot, which can also post your daily plan and set a Focused status. |
| Notes and meetings | Markdown notes, and meetings with their agenda and notes, linked to issues with @. No recording or transcripts. | Notes, subtasks and comments on each task; meetings can come in as tasks. No meeting notetaker was found on its pages. |
| Time tracking | Built in: a timer and entries on each issue. | Built in: planned and actual time, a timer, and a workload counter; it can send time to Toggl. |
| Planning | You plan: Today, a day per issue, deadlines and estimates. Nothing schedules itself, and there’s no AI. | Timeboxing on your calendar, auto-scheduling one task into free time when you ask, and an AI assistant, Sunny. |
| Where it runs | In the browser, installable as an app on your computer. No mobile apps. | Web, desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux, and iOS and Android. |
| Price | Free for now. Later one plan: €10 a month, or €96 a year, tax included. | Pro: $22 a month, or $17 a month billed yearly ($204), per user. No free plan. |
| Trying it | A demo in the browser with sample data and no account. Once plans start, a free month first, no card. | A 14-day trial with no card. No demo without signing up. |
Checked on 15 October 2026 against Sunsama’s own pages, prices in US dollars as shown there (an older answer in its pricing FAQ still says $25 and $20). Sources: pricing, billing, Jira, Linear, GitHub, Notion, GitLab request, Slack, calendars, channels, auto-scheduling, desktop, mobile.
Where Sunsama fits better
- You want guided daily planning and a shutdown at the end of the day, with tasks timeboxed on your calendar.
- Your calendars are in Outlook, iCloud or CalDAV, or you want desktop and phone apps.
- Your work also lives in Asana, ClickUp, Trello, Todoist or Microsoft To Do, which opah doesn’t read.
- Completing a task should move the Jira issue along, with a dialog to pick the status.
Where opah fits better
- A client works in GitLab, on gitlab.com or self-managed: Sunsama has no GitLab integration.
- You want each company as a workspace of its own, with its projects, issues, notes, meetings and calendars.
- You want your notes and meeting notes in the planner, in Markdown, linked to the issues they talk about.
- Nothing should be written to a client’s tracker unless you turn it on, and then only a status.
- You’d like to try it with sample data before giving anyone your email address.
Who it’s for
Freelancers, contractors, consultants and fractional leads who work for several companies at once and sit in each one’s tools. It’s a personal planner, not a team tool: nothing to roll out to your clients, nobody to invite.
