Diarized vs FlowSavvy (2026): the budget auto-schedulers, compared

The short answer is this. Choose FlowSavvy if you are happy to adopt a new calendar app and want task splitting on a budget, or if everything you do lives in Todoist, which it now syncs both ways. Choose Diarized if you want to keep your current calendar apps and your task app is anything other than Todoist. We make Diarized; the claims below carry their dates.

The update most comparisons have missed

In August 2026 FlowSavvy shipped two-way Todoist sync: add, edit, complete and delete in either app. Most reviews and comparison sites, ours briefly included, still describe it as a tool whose tasks must live inside it. That is out of date: for Todoist users, FlowSavvy no longer makes you move in. It reads one task app to our nine, and that direction of travel deserves saying plainly.

Price, as of August 2026

FlowSavvy Pro is $14 a month, or $10 a month billed yearly, with a real free tier: a two-week scheduling horizon and up to three repeating auto-scheduled tasks. Its price roughly doubled in mid-2026. Diarized is $5 a month, free for one task app and one calendar account.

What FlowSavvy does better

Task splitting with a minimum block length (the do-not-sit-me-down-for-less-than-30-minutes control) plus a choice between balanced and front-loaded weeks, buffer time on the free plan, and an explicit missed-deadlines view with an auto-ignore option. Its mobile apps are full clients, and its calendar views are a real calendar app's. All verified against its own documentation in August 2026.

What Diarized does better

No new calendar to adopt: blocks land in Google or Outlook, so you keep reading your day in Fantastical, Apple Calendar, the Outlook app or your watch. Nine task sources against one: Notion, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, Asana, TickTick, Microsoft To Do, Google Tasks and Todoist. And the trace: every block explains itself, which matters most on the day the schedule surprises you.
