Google Calendar vs. Sunsama

Google Calendar is well suited for scheduling 1:1 and smaller group meetings and recurring meetings. It's also well suited to connect with scheduling software. However, there is still a lot of opportunity for improvement when you want to make a very well-organized calendar (for example, limitations with the meeting tagging & categories). It's also not as well suited for helping with scheduling for bigger groups.

Sunsama is amazing to keep you on task and help make sure that tasks do not fall through the cracks.

I have not reached out to Sunsama support so I don't have any baseline to rate them.

Most of the other services we would use don't have the same integration with other Google services that Google Calendar has. The ability to view and set things from your email is very convenient. So is the ability to have your notifications automatically show up on an Android phone as a reminder.

Sunsama provides a clearer more simplistic way to organize tasks.
