Reclaim.ai has a free-forever plan called Lite, and paid plans from $10 per seat per month on yearly billing. Lite is not a trial: it includes one calendar sync and two connected calendars for one user, permanently. Reclaim is a full productivity suite — smart scheduling, habit time-blocking, task integration (Todoist, Asana, Linear), and AI agents — with calendar sync as one feature inside it. If sync is all you need, SYNCDATE starts free with 2 calendars, 2 accounts and 2 syncs, no credit card, and the Plus plan is €8.99/month for 20 calendars.
According to Reclaim.ai's own productivity research, professionals spend over 21 hours per week in meetings. When calendars are spread across multiple accounts, sync reliability matters — but it doesn't require a full productivity platform to accomplish. Atlassian's 2024 State of Teams report found that 76% of knowledge workers manage events across multiple calendar systems.

> Quick Answer: Reclaim.ai pricing runs $0 (Lite, free forever, 1 calendar sync) / $10/seat/mo (Starter, yearly) / $15/seat/mo (Business, yearly) / $22/seat/mo (Enterprise, yearly). If all you need is calendar sync, SYNCDATE's free plan is larger — 2 syncs and 2 accounts rather than 1 sync — and paid plans are priced per account, not per seat: Plus at €8.99/mo (20 calendars / 5 accounts), Pro at €16.99/mo (100 calendars / 20 accounts). SYNCDATE syncs in ~4 seconds via webhooks on Google and Outlook, and also supports CalDAV and iCal feeds, which Reclaim does not list.

What Each Reclaim.ai Plan Includes
Lite (free forever)
Reclaim's free plan is a real free plan, not a trial. It covers one user with two connected calendars and one calendar sync, plus five AI agents, Focus Time, Habits, Buffer Time and Smart Meetings, one scheduling link, and a one-week scheduling range. If you have exactly one calendar pair to keep in step, Lite covers it at no cost — this is worth knowing before you shop around.
The binding limit for most people is the scheduling range (one week) and the single sync.
Starter ($10/seat/month yearly, $12 monthly)
Unlimited calendar syncs, unlimited connected calendars, an eight-week scheduling range, and up to 10 seats. This is where Reclaim becomes the full suite: smart scheduling, habit time-blocking, task integration with tools like Todoist, Asana and Linear.
Business ($15/seat/month yearly, $18 monthly)
Same unlimited sync entitlements, a twelve-week scheduling range, and up to 100 seats. This is the tier aimed at teams rather than individuals.
Enterprise ($22/seat/month yearly, contact us)
For 100+ seats, with a twelve-week scheduling range. Reclaim states Enterprise is unavailable on monthly billing.
One thing to note if you're comparing annual savings: Reclaim states the annual discount three different ways on their own pages — the toggle says 20%, the FAQ says 29%, and the $12 to $10 step works out near 17%. We're quoting the plan prices and leaving the percentage alone.
The Calendar Sync Tax
Reclaim bundles calendar sync with smart scheduling, habit blocks, task integration and AI agents. That bundling works in your favour if you use most of those features. It works against you if you only need sync — and it's the reason the second sync is what pushes you off the free plan.
What you're paying for
If you're using Reclaim only to sync your personal and work calendars, Lite already covers you: one sync, two calendars, free forever. The moment you need a second sync — a third calendar, a second work account — you're on Starter at $10/seat/month, and you're buying the whole suite to get it:
- Smart scheduling: a feature you may not use
- Habit time-blocking: a feature you may not use
- Task integration (Todoist, Asana, Linear): features you may not use
- AI agents: features you may not use
- Calendar sync: the one feature you actually need
That's the trade. Dedicated sync tools do the single job for €0–€8.99/month, and SYNCDATE's free plan carries two syncs rather than one. See our calendar sync pricing guide for a full market comparison.
Speed: Reclaim publishes no figure
Reclaim's pricing page states no sync latency, no interval, and no "real-time" claim — they frame sync by scheduling range in weeks rather than by speed. So we can't tell you how fast it is, and neither can anyone else quoting a number at you.
What we can tell you is how ours works: SYNCDATE subscribes to Google Calendar push notifications and Microsoft Graph change notifications, which is what gets us to ~4 seconds. If you use Calendly, Cal.com or any tool that reads live availability, ask any vendor you're evaluating what their propagation time actually is before you rely on it — a stale calendar is how double-bookings happen.
The annual cost at scale
Reclaim charges per seat; SYNCDATE charges per account footprint. On Reclaim's yearly rates:
| Seats | Reclaim Starter | Reclaim Business | SYNCDATE Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $120/year | $180/year | ~€169/year |
| 3 | $360/year | $540/year | ~€169/year (same plan) |
| 5 | $600/year | $900/year | ~€169/year (same plan) |
| 10 | $1,200/year | $1,800/year | ~€169/year (same plan) |
SYNCDATE Pro covers up to 100 calendars across 20 accounts on one subscription. If what you need is many calendars kept in step rather than many people using a scheduling assistant, the per-seat model is the expensive way to buy it.

Comparison as of February 2026
The Math for Common Scenarios
Scenario 1: You sync a personal Google Calendar with a work Google Calendar
- Reclaim Lite: free — one sync and two calendars is exactly this case
- SYNCDATE: Free. 2 syncs, 2 calendars, 2 accounts. No credit card.
Scenario 2: You sync Google Calendar + Outlook across 3 accounts
- Reclaim Starter: $10/seat/month yearly ($12 monthly) = $120/year — Lite's single sync doesn't stretch this far
- SYNCDATE Plus: €8.99/month (~€89/year)
Scenario 3: A 5-person team needs calendars synced
- Reclaim Starter: $10 × 5 = $50/month = $600/year
- Reclaim Business: $15 × 5 = $75/month = $900/year
- SYNCDATE Pro: €16.99/month (~€169/year, up to 100 calendars across 20 accounts)
Scenario 4: You also actively use smart scheduling, habits, and task integration
- Reclaim is priced appropriately for what it delivers. You're using the full product.
- No other tool bundles all of those features at this price point.
When Reclaim Is Worth the Price
Reclaim earns its pricing when you actively use the productivity features, not just the sync:
You use smart scheduling daily. Reclaim's core innovation is automatically finding the best time for tasks and meetings based on your calendar, work hours, and priorities. If this is central to your workflow, there's no direct equivalent in a pure sync tool.
You rely on habit time-blocking. Reclaim automatically protects recurring time for focused work, lunch, exercise, or other habits. It defends these blocks against meeting requests. If you've built your day around this, it's genuinely valuable.
You use the task integration. Reclaim pulls tasks from Todoist, Asana, Linear and schedules them on your calendar automatically. If you manage work through one of these tools and want tasks reflected in your calendar without manual effort, this is a unique feature.
You need a bigger scheduling range. Lite looks one week ahead; Starter looks eight, Business twelve. If your scheduling horizon is the constraint, that's the reason to pay.
When Reclaim Isn't Worth the Price
You only use it for calendar sync, and you need more than one. Lite's free sync is genuinely free and genuinely works — but it's one sync for one user. The second sync costs $120/year on Starter. SYNCDATE's free plan carries two syncs and two accounts, and Plus is €8.99/month for twenty calendars.
You sync through iCloud, Fastmail, Nextcloud or a feed. Reclaim's published providers are Google Calendar and Outlook. SYNCDATE adds two-way CalDAV and read-only iCal feeds.
You want a published sync-speed commitment. Reclaim doesn't state one. SYNCDATE uses Google Calendar webhooks and Microsoft Graph change notifications and propagates in ~4 seconds. If you use a scheduling tool that reads live availability, that gap is where double-bookings come from.
You care about EU data hosting. SYNCDATE runs on Hetzner in Germany, with AES-256-GCM token encryption and privacy-first defaults. If data residency matters, ask every vendor on your list where they host — including us.
You're paying for team seats. Reclaim's per-seat model scales linearly: ten seats on Starter is $1,200/year, on Business $1,800/year. SYNCDATE Pro covers up to 100 calendars across 20 accounts for ~€169/year regardless of headcount.
How to Switch from Reclaim to a Dedicated Sync Tool
If Reclaim's calendar sync is the only feature you actively use, switching takes about 15 minutes:
- Note which calendar pairs Reclaim currently syncs and the direction (one-way vs two-way)
- Sign up for SYNCDATE at syncdate.app — free, no credit card required
- Connect the same Google and/or Outlook accounts via OAuth
- Recreate the same sync configurations (pairs, directions, settings)
- Create a test event, update it, delete it — verify all three operations propagate correctly
- Cancel Reclaim once confirmed working
Before you cancel, check with Reclaim what happens to the event copies they created — some sync tools remove theirs on disconnect and some leave them, and you want to know which before your calendars change under you. If you run both briefly to verify, keep in mind that two sync tools on the same calendar pair long-term risks creating duplicates — transition fully as soon as you're confident.

5 Reasons to Choose SYNCDATE for Calendar Sync
1. A larger free plan
Reclaim's Lite plan is free forever and includes one calendar sync across two connected calendars — credit where it's due, that covers a lot of people. SYNCDATE's free plan carries two syncs across two accounts and two calendars, with no credit card and no expiry. If your setup needs a second sync, that's the line where one stays free and the other doesn't.
2. Webhook-based ~4-second sync
SYNCDATE uses Google Calendar push notifications and Microsoft Graph change notifications to receive a signal the moment an event changes, and propagates in ~4 seconds. Reclaim publishes no sync-speed figure, so compare this against whatever they tell you directly rather than against a number you read somewhere.
3. Pure sync focus
Reclaim is built around AI scheduling, habit time-blocking and task integration. Calendar sync is one feature inside that. SYNCDATE does one thing: keep your calendars in step accurately and quickly. The whole engineering budget goes into the sync engine — deduplication, rollback, exclusion rules, CalDAV support, iCal feed ingestion.
4. More providers
Reclaim's published providers are Google Calendar and Outlook. SYNCDATE syncs those plus CalDAV two-way (iCloud, Fastmail, Nextcloud) and read-only iCal feeds, so an .ics subscription can be a source rather than a manual copy job.
5. Privacy-by-default: "Busy" blocks, opt-in detail copying
When SYNCDATE copies an event to a target calendar, it shows as "Busy" by default — no title, no description, no attendees visible to anyone with access to the target calendar. You opt in to copying event details if you want them shared. SYNCDATE also runs on Hetzner in Germany and encrypts OAuth tokens at rest with AES-256-GCM. See our privacy-first sync design overview for the full technical breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Reclaim.ai have a free plan?
Yes. Reclaim's Lite plan is free forever and includes one calendar sync, two connected calendars, one user, five AI agents and a one-week scheduling range. It is not a time-limited trial. SYNCDATE's free plan is larger on the sync axis — 2 syncs across 2 accounts and 2 calendars, no credit card, no expiry.
How much does Reclaim.ai cost per year?
On yearly billing: Starter $10/seat/month, Business $15/seat/month, Enterprise $22/seat/month (contact us). That's $120, $180 and $264 per seat per year. Paying monthly costs more: $12 and $18 for Starter and Business, with Enterprise unavailable monthly. For comparison, SYNCDATE Plus is ~€89/year and Pro is ~€169/year regardless of how many people share those calendars.
Is Reclaim.ai worth it if I only need calendar sync?
If you need exactly one sync, Reclaim's free Lite plan covers it at no cost.

SYNCDATE's free plan carries 2 syncs, and Plus (€8.99/month) covers 20 calendars across 5 accounts.
How fast is Reclaim.ai's calendar sync?
Reclaim does not publish a sync speed. Their pricing page states no interval and makes no real-time claim — they describe sync in terms of scheduling range in weeks. Treat any specific figure you see quoted elsewhere with suspicion, including ours: we don't have one for them. SYNCDATE uses Google Calendar push notifications (webhooks) and syncs in ~4 seconds.
What are the cheaper alternatives to Reclaim.ai for calendar sync?
For pure calendar sync: SYNCDATE (free for 2 calendars and 2 syncs, €8.99/month for 20 calendars), CalendarBridge ($4/month on annual billing, $5 monthly, 2 calendars), OneCal ($5/user/month billed annually, 2 calendars) and SyncThemCalendars ($3.99/month, 5 syncs). Reclaim's own Lite plan is free for a single sync. See our full Reclaim alternatives comparison and the calendar sync pricing guide.
Does Reclaim.ai support Outlook calendar sync?
Yes. Reclaim's published providers are Google Calendar and Outlook, and their sync feature is described as copying events between Google and Outlook calendars. They publish no plan gate on Outlook. SYNCDATE supports Google and Outlook on all plans including the free tier, plus CalDAV two-way (iCloud, Fastmail, Nextcloud) and iCal feeds as a read-only source.
How many calendars can I sync on Reclaim's free plan?
Two connected calendars and one calendar sync, for one user. Paid plans list unlimited connected calendars and unlimited syncs. SYNCDATE's free plan is 2 calendars, 2 accounts and 2 syncs; Plus is 20 calendars across 5 accounts; Pro is 100 calendars across 20 accounts.
Is there a free Reclaim AI alternative for calendar sync?
Yes — and Reclaim itself has a free plan, so start there if one sync is all you need. If you need more, SYNCDATE offers a free Reclaim alternative with 2 calendars, 2 accounts and 2 syncs, real-time webhook sync, no credit card and no expiry. SYNCDATE Plus (€8.99/month) covers 20 calendars across 5 accounts.
Does Reclaim AI offer annual billing discounts?
Yes, but the size of it depends which of their pages you read: the pricing toggle says "Yearly - SAVE 20%", their FAQ says 29%, and the actual step from $12 to $10 on Starter is closer to 17%. We're not going to pick one for them — check the number at checkout. SYNCDATE's annual discount is 17%: Plus drops from €8.99/month to roughly €89/year, Pro from €16.99/month to roughly €169/year.
