Toki's own limits explain most switches. The free plan has a basic usage quota and a 3-calendar cap, paid plans cap sync at 5 calendars, the trial is only for first-time subscribers, and the pricing page does not clearly label paid plan names or billing periods.
If you want a calendar assistant inside tools you may already pay for, Microsoft Copilot lists Microsoft 365 Personal at $9.99 per month with Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, though our data does not describe calendar booking. ChatGPT Plus is $20 per user per month and adds projects, scheduled tasks and custom GPTs. Notion AI sits inside Notion, with Plus at $12 per member per month and AI shown as a limited trial on that row. Otter.ai solves a neighboring problem: it records and summarizes Zoom, Teams and Google Meet calls, with Pro at $16.99 per user per month. Every one of the four has a free option in our data.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
