The short version

  • Only Focus@Will has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Focus@Will the central claim, that this music aids concentration more than other instrumental music, rests largely on work the vendor commissioned or published itself, and a buyer has no independent way to test it before paying.; Morgen the free plan was discontinued in March 2026, so anyone wanting to try it long term now must pay after a 14-day trial, unlike Notion Calendar which remains free.
  • They diverge on capability: Focus@Will covers Channels by style, Morgen covers Unified calendar view.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Focus@Will

  • The central claim, that this music aids concentration more than other instrumental music, rests largely on work the vendor commissioned or published itself, and a buyer has no independent way to test it before paying.
  • Everything it does has a free substitute, since instrumental playlists on any streaming service cost nothing, so the subscription is defended only by curation, which is the hardest kind of value to demonstrate.
  • It is a single-product subscription from a small vendor with no larger business underwriting it, so a service like this can change hands, change terms or stop with little notice and no obvious successor.
  • Delivery is by streaming, so weak connectivity, aeroplanes and commutes are simultaneously where you most want it and where it is least dependable.
  • Nothing accumulates in the account, which means there is no export problem but also nothing that makes renewal feel necessary, so it is among the first subscriptions cancelled whenever costs are reviewed.

Morgen

  • The free plan was discontinued in March 2026, so anyone wanting to try it long term now must pay after a 14-day trial, unlike Notion Calendar which remains free.
  • The Team plan has a two seat minimum, so a genuinely solo user gets no benefit from the lower per-seat team pricing.
  • Automatic task time blocking depends on the connected task manager data being accurate and well maintained, and a messy task list produces a messy schedule.
  • It supports a wide range of integrations but each one depends on the third party service API remaining stable, so occasional sync issues can appear after a provider changes something.
  • The subscription cost is meaningfully higher than competing calendar apps that remain free, so the value case rests entirely on the time-blocking and multi-source features being genuinely used.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Focus@Will: How is this different from a focus playlist?

The vendor's position is that the selection and sequencing are designed against attention research rather than assembled by taste. Whether that difference is audible to you is the whole question, and it is subjective.

Morgen: Is Morgen still free?

No. It discontinued its free plan in March 2026 and now offers only a 14-day trial before requiring a paid subscription.

Focus@Will: Does it work offline?

Treat it as a streaming service that needs a connection. If you work on aeroplanes or in poor coverage, check the current apps before subscribing rather than after.

Morgen: What is the main feature that justifies paying?

Automatic time blocking, which schedules tasks from a connected task manager directly into open calendar slots.

Focus@Will: Can a team use it?

It is sold to individuals. There is no admin console or central billing of the kind an organisation would need, so a team means several personal subscriptions.

Morgen: How does it compare with Notion Calendar on price?

Notion Calendar remains free to use as a standalone app, while Morgen now requires a paid Individual or Team plan after its trial.

Focus@Will: Can I use the music in videos or streams?

No. A personal listening subscription does not grant synchronisation or broadcast rights, so it must not sit behind published content.
