Any.do vs Planndu

Any.do

• Personal to-do lists kept in sync between phone, desktop and web
• Households that want shared projects and a shared grocery list
• People who want task reminders delivered in WhatsApp
• Small teams that want project boards next to personal tasks

Planndu

• People who want a planner with no account and no cloud storage
• Working through tasks by priority and status on a phone
• Starting recurring routines and lists from templates

Any.do

• Recurring tasks, location reminders, color tags and WhatsApp reminders are Premium features.
• The Family plan is fixed at 4 members; a larger group has to move to the per-member Teams plan.
• The license agreement limits refund requests to within 48 hours of purchase.
• No Linux app is listed on the vendor's site.

Planndu

• Repeating reminders, task groups, local sharing, import and export, extra themes and all but 3 templates need Premium.
• There is no cloud sync: sharing works only between devices on the same network, and deleting the app removes its data unless it was exported.
• It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android only. The site says a desktop version for Linux and Mac is in the works.
• Google Play shows in-app purchases from $2.49 to $29.99 per item, so the monthly price on Android may differ from the $3.99 listed on the site.

Any.do

Tasks, lists and reminders

Personal to-do lists with reminders are free. Recurring tasks, location reminders and color tags are listed under Premium.

Calendar and daily planner

Calendar events and tasks are shown together, and a daily planner asks what you intend to get done today.

WhatsApp tasks and reminders

Tasks can be created and reminders received inside WhatsApp. WhatsApp reminders are a Premium feature.

Family space

The Family plan gives up to 4 members a shared space for family projects, task assignment and a grocery list that groups items by aisle.

Team boards and views

The Teams workspace has project boards with kanban, calendar, table and Gantt views, custom fields and time tracking.

Automations and templates

In the Teams workspace, automations can assign tasks, set due dates and update statuses, and more than 100 workflow templates are provided.

Planndu

Tasks and notes

Tasks, checklists and notes are unlimited, and a list can be formatted with checkboxes, bullets or numbers.

Priority and status

Each task takes a priority of Urgent, High, Medium or Low and a status such as To Do, In Progress or Done, and lists can be grouped and sorted by them.

Drag and drop

Tasks are reordered by dragging and can be moved between groups in the way cards move on a kanban board.

Reminders

A reminder sends a notification for a task. Repeating reminders on daily, weekly or monthly schedules are part of Premium.

Templates

Pre-built templates cover routines such as a morning routine, meal planner, groceries list and travel packing. Free includes 3 and Premium unlocks all.

On-device storage and local sharing

Data is stored on the device and never uploaded to Planndu servers. Premium can share tasks with devices on the same network and export or import a CSV file.
