Price against what you get
Best-value to-do list apps
Going by our grades, TickTick, Microsoft To Do and Apple Reminders give the most for the money among to-do list apps: no tool on this chart scores higher without costing more.
Paid plans start at a middle price of $3 a month across the 69 that charge, from $0.08 (Tasks.org) to $29 (Checkli). 30 more cost nothing at all. 21 of the 99 score above the category's average while starting at or below its middle price. 9 cost more than the middle price and score below the average.

A high starting price often means a product is sold to companies and has no small plan, and a score is three letters, not the whole product. Read a tool’s own page before ruling it out.

Common questions
Which to-do list apps give the most for the money?
TickTick, Microsoft To Do and Apple Reminders. Each is the highest-scoring tool at its price or below: Apple Reminders scores 3.3 out of 4 and is free; Microsoft To Do scores 3.3 out of 4 and is free; TickTick scores 4.0 out of 4 and starts at $4.17 a month when paid by the year. This goes by ToolGPA's own grades for features, ease of use and platforms, averaged out of 4, set against the price each tool's paid plans start at.
Which are the best free to-do list apps?
Of the 30 to-do list apps here with no paid plan at all, Apple Reminders and Microsoft To Do score highest, at 3.3 out of 4. 57 more have a free plan beside their paid ones.
Which to-do list apps are best for under $5 a month?
TickTick, with a score of 4.0 out of 4: the highest among the 85 that start at $5 a month or less. TickTick starts at $4.17 a month when paid by the year.
Which to-do list apps cost the most for what they offer?
On this chart, Checkli (starts at $29 a month, scores 2.0 out of 4, and 73 tools score higher for less), AgenToDo (starts at $8.99 a month, scores 2.0 out of 4, and 70 tools score higher for less) and Splitti (starts at $6.58 a month when paid by the year, scores 2.0 out of 4, and 63 tools score higher for less). A high starting price often means a product is sold to companies and has no small plan, so check what the price includes before ruling one out.
How much do to-do list apps cost?
The middle starting price is $3 a month: half of the 69 to-do list apps with a recurring price start below that and half above. 30 of the 124 in this directory have no paid plan, and 57 of those that charge also have a free plan.
How is the score on this chart worked out?
It is the average of three of the five grades ToolGPA gives every tool: features, ease of use, and platforms and integrations, with an A worth 4 and an F worth 0. The other two grades, value for money and the free plan, are about price, so they are left out and price gets an axis of its own. 99 of the 124 to-do list apps are on the chart; 25 are left off because they are sold for a single payment or publish no price that can be put as dollars a month.
How this chart is made
- The score is the average of three of a tool’s five grades: features, ease of use, and platforms and integrations. An A is 4 points and an F none. Value for money and the free plan are left out because they are about price, and price has an axis of its own.
- The price is what paid plans start at, in dollars a month, on the cheapest way of paying the listing names. A yearly price is divided by twelve, and a price in another currency is converted. A price for each person is shown for one person.
- A tool with no paid plan sits in the band marked Free. A tool with a free plan beside paid ones is placed at its paid price and drawn as a filled dot.
- The grades are ToolGPA’s own judgement from each vendor’s pages and from public reviews, not from testing, and no vendor can pay for one. How we grade
