Why choose Chronos over Reclaim?
Chronos is independently owned, Australian-built, and bills in AUD from A$10/month with a 14-day no-credit-card trial. Reclaim is owned by Dropbox (acquired August 2024), prices only in USD, and gates calendar limits behind a per-seat tier ladder from US$10 to US$22/user/month annual.
Reclaim built one of the most thoughtful AI scheduling products in the category — smart habits, focus time, and meeting buffers that genuinely improved working days for thousands of users. The Dropbox acquisition in August 2024 brought validation and funding, Outlook support shipped in May 2025, and Reclaim 2.0 arrived in May 2026 with Reclaim Chat, an AI assistant for your calendar.
What's the main difference between Chronos and Reclaim?
Chronos is an independent, Australian-built product that prices in AUD and bundles consultant-grade features (client portal, journaling, weekly review, automations) into one Pro plan at A$29/month. Reclaim splits comparable functionality across a USD per-seat ladder — Lite (free, 2 connected calendars), Starter (US$10/user/mo annual), Business (US$15/user/mo annual), Enterprise (US$22/user/mo annual).
Independent product — no acquisition overhang
Reclaim was acquired by Dropbox in August 2024 and now operates as part of the Dropbox portfolio. Acquired tools sometimes get folded, rebranded, or sunset on a parent's timeline rather than yours. Chronos is independently owned and operated, with a roadmap accountable only to its customers.
Native AUD pricing, no FX surprises
Chronos publishes its pricing in Australian dollars from A$10/month and bills in AUD. Reclaim lists its prices in USD only — its Starter plan at US$10/user/month (annual) lands at roughly A$14/user/month before card foreign-transaction fees, and its Business plan at US$15/user/month annual lands around A$22/user/month. Predictable AUD billing matters for Australian teams reconciling expenses.
One Pro plan, everything for solo consultants — no per-seat ladder
Chronos Pro at A$29/month bundles the Chronos Agent (AI Chief of Staff), client portal, automations, Gantt charts, templates, webhooks, and analytics — all on a single seat. Reclaim splits comparable team and analytics features across multiple paid tiers (Starter, Business, Enterprise) priced per user per month.
Built-in journaling, habits & weekly review — and offline PWA
Chronos ships with daily journaling, habit tracking, and a structured weekly review on every plan, plus a Progressive Web App that works offline and queues mutations until you reconnect. Reclaim focuses on calendar defence and habit blocks but does not ship journaling or a guided weekly review, and Reclaim doesn't have native apps for iOS or Android.
