$10/user/month

Usage-based

Free plan

Reclaim offers a free forever plan with core AI scheduling, features. Copilot Cowork does not offer a comparable free AI calendar plan.

AI assistant

Reclaim gives every employee a visible AI assistant that understands their calendar, meetings, priorities, tasks, scheduling preferences, and organizational policies—then recommends and takes scheduling actions that continue working long after the conversation ends. Copilot Cowork provides a conversational AI assistant that can help complete scheduling tasks when prompted, but it doesn't remember preferences or continuously optimize calendars over time.

AI agents

Reclaim uses AI agents to continuously manage scheduling across meetings, Focus Time, tasks, habits, buffers, and scheduling policies—automatically adapting calendars as priorities, availability, and workloads evolve. Copilot Cowork can perform multi-step work when asked, but it doesn't provide always-on agents that continuously monitor and optimize schedules in the background.

AI chat

Reclaim lets users chat with AI to understand their schedule, identify conflicts, optimize workload, and make calendar changes—all backed by a scheduling engine that continues applying those decisions automatically. Copilot Cowork offers conversational AI that can answer scheduling questions and perform one-time actions, but conversations don't become persistent scheduling behaviors.

ChatGPT integration

Reclaim integrates with ChatGPT so users can access scheduling intelligence, availability, calendar context, and AI scheduling workflows directly from ChatGPT conversations. Copilot Cowork is a Microsoft AI experience and doesn't provide a native ChatGPT integration.

Claude & Claude Cowork MCP

Reclaim integrates with Claude through MCP, allowing users to securely access scheduling context, availability, and calendar workflows directly from Claude. Copilot Cowork doesn't integrate with Claude or support Claude Cowork MCP.

AI tasks

Reclaim syncs tasks from Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Todoist, Linear, Google Tasks, and other project tools, then automatically schedules work into the calendar based on priority, deadlines, estimated effort, and available capacity—continuously rebalancing plans as schedules change. Copilot Cowork can help schedule tasks when prompted, but it doesn't continuously monitor your calendar and automatically keep work aligned with changing priorities.

Task recommendations

Reclaim proactively recommends what to work on next based on workload, deadlines, priorities, and real calendar capacity—continuously updating recommendations as meetings, tasks, and availability change. Copilot Cowork can recommend next steps during conversations, but those recommendations don't automatically evolve as your schedule changes.

Meeting agenda & follow-up email creation

Reclaim automatically generates meeting agendas before meetings and drafts follow-up emails afterward using meeting context, attendees, and calendar data—keeping preparation and follow-up connected to your scheduling workflow. Copilot Cowork can generate agendas and follow-up emails when prompted, but those workflows aren't continuously tied to your calendar or future meetings.

Pre-meeting buffer time

Reclaim automatically protects preparation time before meetings based on your scheduling preferences, continuously adding and preserving those buffers as meetings move throughout the week. Copilot Cowork can help create a meeting buffer when asked, but it doesn't remember that preference or automatically apply it to future meetings.

Post-meeting buffer time

Reclaim automatically schedules post-meeting time for notes, follow-ups, and context switching, continuously protecting those buffers as meetings are rescheduled. Copilot Cowork can add time after a meeting when prompted, but it doesn't continuously preserve post-meeting buffers across your calendar.

Meeting agenda creation

Reclaim uses AI to generate meeting agendas directly from calendar context, attendees, objectives, and upcoming work—making preparation part of an automated scheduling workflow. Copilot Cowork can generate meeting agendas on demand, but it doesn't automatically connect agenda creation to ongoing calendar management.

AI focus time

Set personalized Focus Time goals each week, and Reclaim continuously schedules and protects uninterrupted deep work around meetings, tasks, habits, and scheduling policies—automatically restoring Focus Time whenever conflicts arise. Copilot Cowork can help block Focus Time when asked, but it doesn't continuously defend or re-establish Focus Time as your schedule evolves.

AI rescheduling & conflict resolution

Reclaim continuously reschedules tasks, Focus Time, habits, meetings, and buffers whenever conflicts occur—automatically preserving priorities without manual calendar management. Copilot Cowork can help resolve scheduling conflicts when prompted, but it doesn't continuously monitor calendars and rebalance schedules as new conflicts appear.

Smart meetings

Reclaim continuously optimizes recurring meetings by automatically adapting them around conflicts, PTO, changing priorities, and scheduling policies while making meetings one-click reschedulable for every attendee. Copilot Cowork can help reschedule meetings when asked, but it doesn't continuously manage recurring meetings or automatically optimize them over time.

Habits (AI-powered recurring events)

Use AI to schedule recurring habits like planning sessions, workouts, lunch, one-on-ones, or personal routines that automatically adapt as your schedule changes—keeping recurring priorities protected without manual calendar maintenance. Copilot Cowork can create recurring calendar events when prompted, but it doesn't continuously adapt those habits as conflicts and priorities change.

Meeting limits and no meeting days

Reclaim continuously enforces meeting limits, no-meeting days, Focus Time goals, and scheduling policies across individuals and teams—automatically applying those rules every week without additional work. Copilot Cowork can help modify meeting schedules through AI conversations, but it doesn't remember or continuously enforce recurring scheduling policies.

Scheduling links

Reclaim's AI-powered scheduling links intelligently shift flexible events to surface more availability while continuously protecting Focus Time, habits, and high-priority work. Copilot Cowork doesn't provide intelligent scheduling links that automatically optimize availability.

Smart breaks, travel & meeting buffers

Reclaim continuously inserts Smart Breaks, travel time, and meeting buffers throughout your calendar based on configurable scheduling rules—automatically maintaining those protections as schedules evolve. Copilot Cowork can help add breaks or buffers when requested, but it doesn't continuously apply those rules across future calendar changes.

Pricing

Multi-calendar sync (Google & Outlook)

Reclaim continuously synchronizes Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar accounts in real time, coordinating availability across work and personal calendars while automatically preventing conflicts. Copilot Cowork can reference Microsoft calendar information during conversations, but it doesn't continuously synchronize and optimize multiple calendars.

Calendar sync privacy controls

Reclaim provides configurable privacy controls—including busy-only sync, obfuscated event titles, calendar-specific visibility settings, and sync rules—that continue working automatically across connected calendars. Copilot Cowork doesn't provide persistent cross-calendar synchronization or privacy controls.

Team OOO calendars

Reclaim automatically creates shared out-of-office calendars that continuously stay up to date as teammates add vacations, holidays, and time away—making scheduling around absences effortless. Copilot Cowork can reference calendar information when asked, but it doesn't provide dedicated team OOO calendars.

Workforce analytics

Reclaim continuously analyzes meeting load, Focus Time, fragmentation, workload balance, and organizational capacity across individuals, teams, and departments—giving leaders actionable workforce intelligence tied directly to scheduling automation. Copilot Cowork helps individuals complete work with AI, but it doesn't provide workforce-wide time intelligence or calendar analytics.

Zoom integration

Copilot Cowork can help create Zoom meetings when prompted, but it doesn't continuously manage meeting links as schedules change.
