Reclaim plans with Focus Time start at $10/user/month. Viva Insights costs $12/user/month for access to their Focus Plan capabilities.

Reclaim includes a conversational AI assistant that helps users understand schedules, identify conflicts, analyze workloads, and optimize their time through natural language. Recommendations are presented with clear previews and remain human-in-the-loop, allowing users to review and approve scheduling actions before changes are made. Microsoft Viva Insights provides workplace analytics and recommendations, but does not offer AI agents that actively manage calendars and scheduling decisions.

Reclaim integrates with ChatGPT, allowing users to access scheduling context, availability, and time management workflows directly through conversational AI. Microsoft Viva Insights is designed for the Microsoft ecosystem and does not offer a native ChatGPT integration for scheduling workflows.

Reclaim syncs tasks from Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Todoist, Linear, Google Tasks, and other project management and task management tools, then automatically schedules time on the calendar to ensure work gets done. As priorities, deadlines, and schedules change, Reclaim continuously rebalances those time blocks so plans stay realistic and high-priority work stays protected. Microsoft Viva Insights provides workplace analytics and recommendations, but does not automatically schedule work from task management systems.

Reclaim's AI assistant can generate meeting agendas and follow-up emails using calendar context, meeting details, connected tasks, project management tools, and meeting transcripts.

Microsoft Viva Insights provides workplace recommendations and meeting insights, but does not generate agendas and follow-up communications from scheduling workflows.

Reclaim automatically protects time after meetings so employees can capture action items, update tasks, process decisions, and prepare for what's next.
