Migrate your Sonderplan data
Resource scheduling and planning tool for creative businesses—handles people, rooms, and equipment with multiple calendar views and clash detection.
In its favor
Why people choose Sonderplan
The signal that keeps Sonderplan on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Targets creative studios and post-production firms with a focused feature set for scheduling people, rooms, and equipment in one place
Flexible Billing charges only for active users and resources, avoiding overpayment for unused seats on fixed-tier plans
Multiple schedule views (timeline, calendar, grid) plus fast filtering let teams see availability from a single day to six months
Clash detection on bookings prevents double-booking of shared equipment or virtualized edit suites across schedules
Replaces scattered spreadsheets and paper calendars with a centralized schedule that equipment availability is always current
Reporting on resource utilization, room usage, and team workload is limited and difficult to generate from the system
Smartsheet, monday Work Management, and Asana are cited as alternatives—typically when teams outgrow scheduling-only and need broader project management
Some users find the tool less suited for complex organizations needing deeper financial reporting or advanced resource forecasting
Growing teams may prefer platforms with more mature API ecosystems or native integrations beyond the 6,000+ Zapier-connected tools
Lack of detailed API documentation publicly available makes custom integrations or programmatic data extraction a challenge for technical teams

Pricing tiers
Sonderplan pricing overview
Sonderplan uses a usage-based Flexible Billing model rather than fixed tiers—you are charged per active user and per active resource on a monthly or annual basis. Annual billing offers a discount, and enterprise customers receive bespoke pricing with purchase order support. The pricing calculator on the website provides estimates, but no per-seat or per-feature price is publicly listed.

What gets migrated
Sonderplan object support
Object-by-object support for Sonderplan migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Bookings
Fully supportedBookings is the central object in Sonderplan, linking a resource (person/room/equipment), a project, client, status, and optional custom fields. We export all booking fields including custom field values, resource assignments, and timestamps. Clashes detected by Sonderplan are preserved as notes in the destination.
Resources
Mapping requiredResources represent people, rooms, and equipment, each belonging to one or more Schedules. Resources can be unique to a schedule or shared (e.g., virtualized edit suites). We map resources by schedule ownership and flag shared resources that appear in multiple schedules for deduplication at the destination.
Schedules
Mapping requiredEach Schedule in Sonderplan maintains its own set of resources plus shared resources. Multi-site setups may have separate Schedules per facility. We map schedule-to-schedule and handle the resource pool overlap, preserving which resources are shared versus schedule-unique.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are referenced by Bookings and carry a name and client association. All project references are preserved during migration and mapped to the equivalent project object at the destination, or created as a custom object if the destination lacks a native project concept.
Contacts
Mapping requiredSonderplan stores contact data for clients and team members. We map contact records including name, email, and phone, but custom field variations and contact-to-booking associations require field-level alignment during import scoping.
Quotes
Mapping requiredQuotes are billable items linked to projects. The quote line-item structure (services, quantities, rates) requires mapping to the destination's invoice or estimate object, as the exact schema may differ between platforms.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoices generated from bookings or quotes carry billable items and payment status. We export invoice records and map them to the destination's invoicing object, flagging any partial payments or credit notes that require special handling.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredBookings and other objects in Sonderplan support custom fields set by the customer. We export custom field names and values and map them to equivalent custom properties in the destination, creating new properties if they do not exist. Value types (text, date, dropdown) are preserved.
Calendar Feed Exports
Mapping requiredSonderplan offers calendar feed exports (iCal-style) for bookings. We extract the underlying booking data rather than the feed format, ensuring full fidelity. The calendar feed itself is a derived artifact and is not imported as a primary object.
