Todoist free5/2/2023 ![]() If you're willing to pay for the premium version of a to-do app right out of the gate, just skip TickTick and go straight to Todoist premium, but don't expect the free version of Todoist to be enough for powerful workflow management. I'd recommend you start with it if you're willing to switch later. I never purchased TickTick premium because I found their free feature set more than enough to cover my needs, until I hit their arbitrary limit on list count. Also, they could improve interact-ability in iOS push notifications and markdown support in task comments (although it's already better than TickTick's). ![]() Still, there are certainly some annoyances that I'd change about Todoist, like the fact that completing subtasks of a recurring task don't complete the recurring task too, nor to they become incomplete when the next recurrence of the parent task is created. I love Todoist's UI polish, powerful search/filtering tools, customization options for organizational patterns, integration with iOS shortcuts, and their NLP is much more comprehensive when creating task reminders. Ultimately these drawbacks outweighed the benefits of a free app for me, and I switched to Todoist premium. Also, syncing between platforms is unreliable with TickTick, and I've consistently found their support team to be either unresponsive, or to prioritize silly new features over critical fixes. Setting priorities helps you figure out what matters and what doesn’t. To set a priority, type p into the task field followed by the priority level you want, e.g., Eat the frog p1. They both have a ton of features, a ton of users, and a big fanbase. Todoist offers four priority levels: 1 being the most important (marked as red) and 4 being everything else (no color). ![]() I can say that TickTcik offers much more for free, but I agree that there are a lot of bugs and inconsistencies in their UI. TickTick and Todoist are the 2 top productivity apps of the past few years. I'm a Todoist premium user after spending years as a TickTick free user.
