Sunsama

Sunsama is an interesting category of tool, claiming to be more of a "daily planner", that toes the line of project management and time management.

You're going to get the most value using a tool like Sunsama if you use it alongside another project manager like Asana.

Features & Differentiation

Rating: _B

Sunsama is essentially a calendar app that integrates deeply with tools like Asana, allowing you to pull tasks from Asana and put them onto your calendar for daily planning.

It's a clever idea, especially if you're already using and loving Asana, but just frustrated by the lack of integration with a calendar. Something that Motion actually does out of the box as it's an all-in-one task and time management tool.

Mobile App

Sunsama has an iOS and Android app that is relatively basic, but gets across what you need it to do. Access your tasks and calendar all in one place.

API & Integrations

Rating: _C-

Sunsama does not currently have an API. As it's more focused on native integrations with tools like that of with Asana. So with that, you can see that their focus isn't actually on extending Sunsama into a flexible tool outside of what they've decided to integrate deeply with.

If you're using one of the main tools they integrate with, this might be a good thing, but for now, with no API, you cannot integrate it with your team's CRM for example, which leads us to feel they are more focused on being an individual daily planner instead of a team project manager.

Final Thoughts

If you're not already using and loving another project manager like Asana, we'd recommend simply using Motion, as when you compare Motion vs Sunsama, you really need Sunsama and Asana together (2 separate tools) to get what Motion gives you out of the box.
