Cutline vs Outlook Calendar
Outlook is the calendar most companies run on. Cutline reads your Outlook calendar and adds a weekly plan for your own hours: time blocks you tick off, XP and streaks.
The short version
| Outlook Calendar | Cutline | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Work meetings | Your own hours: deep work, training, side projects |
| Price | Free and with Microsoft 365 | Free; paid plans from $9/month |
| Your Outlook meetings | Yes | Yes, as read-only blocks |
| Done state and score | No | Yes |
| Private from your employer | A work calendar | Your own account |
What Outlook Calendar does well
Outlook is excellent for work: meetings, rooms, Teams calls and scheduling with colleagues.
What Cutline does differently
- Free planning. The week in blocks, XP, streaks and calendar links cost nothing.
- Done is the point. Blocks are ticked off and scored; a day with everything done is Cleared.
- A record you can show. Finished hours become a verified CV.
Using both
Keep Outlook for work. Link it so your meetings show in your Cutline week, and plan everything else there.
