Sunsama vs Akiflow
Short version: Neither has a free plan. Sunsama is built around a calm daily planning ritual and costs less per month. Akiflow is a power tool for pulling tasks from many inboxes into one place. If overwhelm is the issue, Sunsama's guided routine is gentler; if scattered inboxes are the issue, look at Akiflow.
