Cadence vs RecurringTasks
Honest compare. RecurringTasks = spawn next page on schedule (sit-back automation). Cadence = preview 10, confirm, fill horizon.
| Cadence | RecurringTasks | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Preview the next 10, then confirm | Spawn the next page on a schedule |
| Preview | Yes — live Next 10 before any write | No horizon preview before create |
| Who writes | You — confirm is the only write | The schedule writes for you |
| Edits | Your Notion edits always win | Product path dependent |
| Duplicates | One row per rule + date | Product path dependent |
| Free | 1 rule · $0 | 3 rules |
| Paid | Solo $9 / Team $19 | Pro $12/mo |
| Gallery | Not yet | Listed — template gallery available |
| Also ships | Confirm modal, pause rules, workspace plans | Cron, pause/resume, 3-rule free, billing live |
Why people look ahead
“they’ll appear on my calendar only at the day they’re already due which makes it very bad for planning.”
“I can go a year in the future on the calendar and nothing will be there.”
2sync: “No future task preview… they do not exist in your database until the scheduled moment arrives.”
RecurringTasks is not broken — it ships Gallery, cron, pause/resume, a 3-rule free tier, and live billing. Cadence is for people who want to see the next few weeks as real rows before anything is written. Why the calendar stays empty.
