Morgen Review: AI Calendar and Task Planner Built in Switzerland
- From
- A$21/mo · ex-GST · billed in USD
The gate: Five stars need 21+ and Australian Fit of at least 4/5.
Skip to the verdictPricing figures updated 6 September 2026: USD prices are converted at the current rate (1 USD ≈ 1.40 AUD, verified 5 September 2026) and shown ex-GST, replacing the retired 1.55 + GST basis. A GST-registered Australian business that supplies its ABN is not charged GST on an imported digital service; other buyers should allow ~10% on top (Methodology).
Verdict (TL;DR): Morgen is one of the more thoughtful calendar and task planners available in 2026. It unifies all your calendars and task tools into one clean interface, offers an AI planner that suggests (rather than forces) a daily schedule, and backs it with strong privacy credentials — data stored in Switzerland or the EU, GDPR-compliant, and not sold to anyone. At A$21.00/month on annual billing, it is significantly cheaper than Akiflow or Sunsama. The AI planner is still maturing, but the core product is reliable enough to build a planning habit around. A credible choice for Australian professionals who want structure without surrendering control.

What Morgen is
Morgen is a calendar and task management application built by Morgen AG, a small Swiss company (approximately seven employees) headquartered in Zurich. Despite its size, the product has attracted over 248,000 users, including people at Canva, Spotify, Linear, and ETH Zurich.
The company launched in 2020 and has raised USD $1.2 million — a modest sum by AI startup standards, which means the business model depends on subscription revenue rather than investor runway. That is worth noting: this is a company that needs its product to be genuinely useful to survive.
The proposition is to be the central hub where your calendars, task managers, and scheduling needs all connect. Connect Google Calendar, Outlook, iCloud, Fastmail, and task tools like Notion, Todoist, Linear, ClickUp, and Apple Reminders, and Morgen shows everything in a single unified view. The AI Planner then looks across all your tasks and commitments, and suggests when to work on each thing. You review the suggestions and approve them — nothing gets added to your calendar automatically.
What it costs in Australia
Morgen's own pricing page states the currency two different ways, and the gap matters. The rendered page labels every plan USD — USD 30, USD 25. The same page's structured data declares "priceCurrency": "EUR" and spells it out in the offer descriptions: “EUR 25 per seat per month, billed monthly. Minimum 2 seats.” Both were read on 24 September 2026. At euros the Pro monthly plan costs about A$48 rather than A$42 — roughly 15% more — so confirm the currency at checkout before you commit. There is no AUD billing either way. Morgen's terms say tax is handled for you rather than by you: “Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes”, with Paddle as merchant of record.
| Plan | Price as the page labels it | Approx AUD/month (ex-GST) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro — monthly | USD 30/month | ~A$42 | Billed monthly |
| Pro — yearly | USD 15/month | ~A$21 | USD 180/year, about A$253 |
| Team — monthly | USD 25/seat/month | ~A$35 | Minimum 2 seats |
| Team — yearly | USD 10/seat/month | ~A$14 | USD 120/year per seat; minimum 2 seats |
Read from morgen.so/pricing in a browser on an Australian connection, 24 September 2026. Converted at US$1 = A$1.4045 (Frankfurter/ECB, 18 September 2026) and shown ex-GST per our GST rule. If Morgen bills in euros as its structured data says, add about 15% — EUR 1 = A$1.6146 (ECB, 23 September 2026) puts Pro monthly at ~A$48 and Team monthly at ~A$40.
Individual plans: - Pro Monthly: USD $30/month (~A$42.00/month + GST) - Pro Yearly: USD $15/month billed annually (~A$21.00/month, ~A$252/year + GST)
Team plans: - Team Monthly: USD $25 per seat per month (minimum 2 seats, ~A$35.00/seat/month + GST) - Team Yearly: USD $10 per seat per month annually (~A$14.00/seat/month + GST)
Exchange rate used: US$1 ≈ A$1.4045 (Frankfurter/ECB, 18 September 2026). Figures are ex-GST: a GST-registered business that supplies its ABN is not charged GST on an imported digital service; other buyers should allow ~10% on top. There is no longer a free plan — the pricing page offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and Morgen's terms now hedge the old one to “downgrade to a free plan (if available)”. Morgen also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee — more generous than most competitors. Students, academics, and non-profits get 25% off; users switching from Motion, Reclaim, Fantastical, or Sunsama get 15% off for one year.
At A$252/year on annual billing, Morgen costs around A$74 less than Akiflow (A$353/year) and is roughly comparable to Reclaim AI in price.
How it works in practice
Setup is straightforward. Connect your calendar providers (Morgen supports Google Calendar, Outlook/Microsoft 365, iCloud, Fastmail, and CalDAV), then connect your task managers. Once connected, everything appears in a single unified calendar view — colour-coded by source.
The AI Planner is the AI-specific feature. You set up Frames — time blocks that define when you are available for specific types of work (e.g., "deep work 9–12 weekdays," "admin tasks 3–5 pm"). The AI Planner then looks at your task list, considers your Frames, and proposes a daily schedule. You review the proposal and accept, reject, or adjust before anything lands on your calendar. This is a key design choice: the AI suggests, you decide.
Frames are powerful for anyone with a structured work routine. A frame for "deep work" means the AI will not schedule shallow admin tasks during that block. A frame for "client calls" means meetings get suggested there first. The system respects your working preferences in a way that fully autonomous schedulers do not.
Scheduling Links let you share booking pages — similar to Calendly — with smart availability calculated from all connected calendars. This is included on Pro, not an add-on.
Calendar Automations (also called Morgen Assist) handle repetitive calendar tasks without ongoing effort: automatically adding buffer time after meetings, propagating events across calendars, and adding travel time to in-person appointments. These run in the background without requiring the Morgen app to be open.
Morgen is available on Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and web — cross-platform coverage that many competitors lack. The Linux desktop app is notable: Akiflow and Sunsama do not have one.
What it does well
The unified calendar view is clean and practical. Seeing Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud in one place, colour-coded and clear, is not glamorous but it is immediately useful. The implementation is solid.
The AI Planner's philosophy is sound. By keeping the user in control — proposing rather than imposing — Morgen avoids the main complaint about Motion and Reclaim, which is that the AI moves things around without warning. For professionals who want AI assistance without AI autonomy, this is the right approach.
Privacy credentials are the strongest in this category. Data is stored in Switzerland or the EU, never sold, never shared with third parties. Morgen AG publishes a DPA (Data Processing Agreement), complies with GDPR and Swiss data protection law, and processes calendar data as a proxy without persisting it on their servers. For Australian professionals handling sensitive client information through their calendars, this is a meaningful differentiator.
Scheduling Links are included, not extra. Competitors charge separately or at higher tiers for shared booking pages. Morgen includes them on Pro. For freelancers and consultants who book client calls regularly, this matters.
Cross-platform coverage is comprehensive. Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and browser. Morgen works wherever you work.
Trial and refund policy is genuinely generous. 14-day free trial with no credit card, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can evaluate the full product for six weeks before you are committed to anything.
What it doesn't do well
The AI Planner is still maturing. Independent reviews note that the suggestion quality is good but not yet exceptional — the AI does not always have strong intuitions about task priority or the right duration for complex work. It is a useful tool for blocking time, but it is not yet reliably smarter than a good human planner. Expect this to improve.
The free tier is limited. Two calendars is enough to evaluate the product but not enough to use it properly if you have more than a personal and a work calendar. Most professionals will need to start a trial or pay.
No deep task management within Morgen. Morgen integrates with task managers but is not itself a full task manager. You cannot create rich tasks with subtasks, comments, or dependencies inside Morgen — you do that in Todoist or Notion, then sync. If you want a single app that does everything, this is a limitation.
No Australian data processing option. Data is stored in Switzerland or the EU, which is significantly better than US processing from a privacy perspective, but it is still offshore from Australia. The EU/Swiss framework is strong, but it is not the Australian Privacy Act.
Team features are limited at small scale. The minimum 2-seat Team plan is fine for pairs, but team collaboration features (shared calendars, team scheduling views) are more basic than dedicated team tools. Morgen is primarily an individual planner that happens to support teams.
Australian fit
Morgen is available in Australia without restrictions and works with the calendar providers that Australian professionals use — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and iCloud.
The Swiss privacy credentials are the strongest in this category for Australian users. While data does not sit in Australia, Switzerland has robust data protection laws and Morgen is explicit that it stores data only in Switzerland or the EU, never sells it, and processes calendar data as a proxy. This is a meaningfully better story than US-processed competitors.
Pricing is USD-only with no GST invoicing, which is standard for European SaaS of this scale. At A$21.00/month on annual billing it is accessible — this is the price of three coffees per week, and if it saves an hour of planning time weekly it is easily justified.
Morgen's support team is small and based in Zurich. There is no Australian-hours support guarantee, but the community Discord and documentation are active. Response times for email support are generally prompt.
The switching incentive (15% off for a year when coming from Motion, Reclaim, Fantastical, or Sunsama) is worth knowing about for Australians already paying for one of those tools.
Alternatives
Akiflow — More powerful consolidation of task sources from 30+ apps, with a stronger keyboard-first interface. But twice the price of Morgen annual. Better for professionals who live across many project management tools.
Reclaim AI — Stronger AI auto-scheduling that defends your focus time and habits automatically. More autonomous than Morgen. US-based with US data processing. Starting at USD $10/month (~A$14.00).
Sunsama — A daily planning tool focused on intentional, sustainable work habits. Less AI-driven than Morgen, more structured daily ritual. USD $20/month (~A$28) — in Drafts.
Bottom line
Morgen is the best-value calendar-plus-task planner in this review set. It does the core job well — unified calendar, task integration, AI-suggested daily planning — at a price that is hard to argue with. The Swiss privacy credentials matter if data handling is a concern, and the 14-day trial plus 30-day refund removes most of the risk from trying it.
The AI Planner is the main area where the product needs to grow. It is useful but not yet exceptional. For professionals who want AI suggestions without AI autonomy, who manage work across multiple calendar sources, and who want their planning tool to respect their time rather than commandeer it, Morgen is worth a month of serious use.

Update history
- 9 Oct 2026 — Re-checked for the AUD-claim queue (#443), morgen.so/pricing read in a browser on an Australian connection: Pro is still USD 30 a month billed monthly or USD 15 a month billed yearly, written "USD" on the page as the 24 September read recorded; the Team rows were not re-read today (the Teams tab leads to a marketing page). No figure changes;
aud_native: falsestands. Capture:Dossiers/captures/morgen-pricing-2026-10-09.txt. - 24 Sep 2026 — Re-checked against the vendor page, its structured data and its terms; a pricing table added and four things corrected. No score moved. (1) Morgen states its currency two ways on one page. The rendered pricing page labels the plans
USD 30andUSD 25; the same page's JSON-LD declares"priceCurrency": "EUR"and writes it out — “EUR 25 per seat per month, billed monthly. Minimum 2 seats.” At euros the Pro monthly plan is about A$48 rather than A$42. This review asserted “Morgen pricing is in USD”; it now prints both and asserts neither. (2) The free plan is gone from the pricing page — only a 14-day trial remains, and the terms hedge the old one to “downgrade to a free plan (if available)”. Removed: “Free: Up to 2 calendars. Basic features.” (3) The GST advice was backwards. We said “no GST invoicing from Morgen. Australian users self-account”; the terms say “Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes”, Paddle being merchant of record. (4) The retired 1.55 basis survived in three places — the excerpt (A$23), the Value for Money rationale (A$23.25, which is US$15 × 1.55 exactly) and the JSON-LDreviewBody(A$23) — while the pricing section beside them already read A$21.00. Sentry 18 could see none of them: not one has a USD figure in its sentence. Value for Money holds at 4/5 — it rested on the annual price, the trial and the refund policy, and A$21 is better value than the A$23.25 it was scored on, not worse. Australian Fit holds at 3/5 — the two changes offset: tax handling is better than we said, and a vendor that names two different currencies for one price is worse.verified:set to 24 September 2026 (our dating rule — a pricing re-check that finds changes is a full re-verification);reviewed:not moved.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Morgen cost in Australia?
Morgen Pro costs approximately A$42.00 per month on monthly billing (USD $30) or A$21.00 per month on annual billing (USD $15/month, ~A$252/year). The page labels the price USD, while the same page's structured data says EUR — confirm the currency at checkout. There is no AUD billing option either way, and Morgen's terms say it collects and remits tax where required rather than leaving you to self-account. A 14-day free trial with no credit card required is available, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Does Morgen automatically schedule my calendar?
Morgen's AI Planner proposes a daily schedule based on your tasks and available time, but nothing is added to your calendar until you review and approve the suggestions. This is a deliberate design choice — Morgen assists your planning rather than taking over. If you want full AI auto-scheduling, tools like Motion or Reclaim AI are more autonomous.
Where is Morgen data stored? Is it safe for Australian users?
Morgen is a Swiss company that stores all data in Switzerland or the European Union. It complies with GDPR and Swiss data protection law, does not sell user data, and processes calendar data as a proxy without persisting it on their servers. This is stronger privacy than US-based competitors, though data is still processed offshore from Australia. The company publishes a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) at morgen.so/dpa.
