Akiflow targets the same calendar-first planners as Sunsama, with more emphasis on speed and AI. Its pricing page lists one Pro plan that includes tasks and subtasks, a daily planning ritual, time blocking, Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar sync, emails into tasks, Zapier and IFTTT automations, availability sharing and keyboard shortcuts. Pro also includes Aki, an AI executive assistant, and the hosted Akiflow MCP Connector. It is the most expensive app on this list: $19 a month billed yearly, charged as $228 once a year, or $34 month to month. Akiflow says it may apply local purchasing-power pricing in some countries, so the checkout price can differ. There is no free plan, and the 7-day trial requires a card and converts to a paid plan unless you cancel. Eligible university students and researchers get 40% off Pro Yearly for life. The AI Meeting Assistant for transcripts and summaries costs an extra $19 a month.
