24me vs Hero Assistant

24me

• People who want events, to-dos and notes on a single mobile calendar
• Families sharing grocery lists, chores and events
• Anyone who wants traffic-based reminders to leave on time

Hero Assistant

• People who want calendar, to-dos, habits and notes in one phone app
• Couples and families sharing to-dos, notes and calendars
• Anyone who needs reminders that sound through Silent mode

24me

• The store listings cover iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and Wear OS. Neither they nor the vendor's site mention a web, Mac or Windows app.
• Email to tasks, location-based reminders, nag alerts, timezone support and printing the schedule all need Premium.
• The App Store's in-app purchase list also shows items named 24me Pro from $9.99 to $99.99 with no billing period, and Google Play gives only a range of $7.99 to $64.99 per item.

Hero Assistant

• The App Store listing is marked as only for iPhone, and the vendor's pages mention no web, Mac or Windows version.
• The FAQ says the Android app is not at feature parity with iOS yet, and social features are among the missing parts.
• SuperHero prices appear only as store in-app purchases ($0.99 to $53.99 on the US App Store, $0.99 to $35.99 on Google Play) with no billing periods.
• The day can be viewed offline, but the FAQ says most changes require an internet connection.

24me

One calendar for events, tasks and notes

Events, to-dos and notes are listed together on a calendar with several views, synced with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Exchange, Yahoo Calendar and Apple iCal.

To-do list with reminders

Tasks take color labels and multiple reminders and can be added by voice, including through Siri and Amazon Alexa. Turning an email into a task is part of Premium.

Notes and lists

Notes can hold text, photos, videos and voice recordings, cover things like shopping lists, and appear on the calendar next to events and tasks.

Smart alerts

Time-to-leave alerts follow traffic conditions, and there are weather alerts, birthday reminders and a summary of the next day's meetings and to-dos.

Conference call dialing

With a dial-in number and passcode entered in a meeting's location field, the app dials into the call without the codes being typed again.

Shared lists and events

Lists, tasks, events, reminders and notes can be shared with family members or colleagues and stay in sync for everyone taking part.

Hero Assistant

One daily feed

To-dos, calendar events, notes, habits, a morning Daily Brief and the weather forecast appear together in a single feed instead of separate apps.

Two-way calendar sync

Connects Google Calendar, Apple Calendar (iCloud) and Outlook in real time, so changes made in Hero go back to the source calendar and the reverse.

Can't Miss alerts

A to-do, habit or event marked as Can't Miss raises a critical alert that plays through Silent mode and Do Not Disturb and stays until it is acted on.

Habits with shared accountability

Habits can repeat hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. A shared link lets friends or family opt in to be notified when a habit is missed.

Capture by voice or photo

A spoken phrase with a day and time becomes a structured task or event, and photos of handwriting, whiteboards or screenshots are turned into notes, tasks or events.

Grocery lists with Instacart ordering

Items are grouped by aisle as they are added, and the list can be ordered through Instacart. SuperHero users get 5% cash back on those orders.
