Louryx vs Sunsama: which daily planner fits you?
Sunsama is a guided daily planner for your work day, with deep integrations for tools like calendars and project managers. Louryx is a calmer planner for your whole life: your day and week, plus habits with flexible streaks, goals with steps, and a private journal, for a one-time price. If your day lives in work tools, Sunsama fits better; if you want one place for your personal life, Louryx does.

Price over three years
Sunsama has no free plan, and says it doesn't plan to add one. On its pricing page (checked October 21, 2026), Pro costs $17 a month billed yearly ($204 a year) or $22 billed monthly. Over three years on yearly billing that's $612. Louryx is $29 once (founder price, regular $49), with every future update included.
Where Sunsama is the better choice
- Your day is driven by work tools (calendar, email, project management) and you want them pulled into one plan.
- You like a structured ritual that walks you through planning each morning and shutting down each evening.
- You need native desktop apps, or you plan with a team.
Where Louryx is different
- It covers your life, not just your work: habits, goals, a journal, wellness and a simple budget sit next to your daily plan.
- Habits are first-class: daily or a few times a week, amounts like 8 glasses of water, rest days, three streak freezes a month, and pausing.
- It's calm by design: unfinished tasks wait under “From earlier” instead of piling onto today, and on low-energy days it suggests lighter work first.
- You pay once instead of every month.
Louryx's limits
- Louryx is a web app that installs to your phone's Home Screen. There's no App Store or Google Play app yet.
- It's built for one person's life. There are no shared projects, team workspaces or task assignment.
- There's no free plan after the 7-day trial: your plans stay saved and you can still view them and check things off, but adding or changing anything needs lifetime access.
- It's a young product, so it has fewer integrations than long-established apps.
Who should pick which
Pick Sunsama if you're planning a busy work day across several tools and value a guided ritual. Pick Louryx if you want a calm daily planner for your personal life with habits, goals and a journal in one place, without a subscription. Some people use both: a work planner at work, and Louryx for everything else.
Questions
Is there a cheaper alternative to Sunsama?
Louryx is a one-time payment with no subscription, compared with Sunsama's $204 a year on yearly billing (checked October 21, 2026). It's built for personal planning rather than work integrations, so compare what you need before switching.
Does Sunsama have a free plan?
No. Sunsama offers a 14-day free trial and says it doesn't plan to offer a free-forever plan.
