Which one is for you
Pick DayBoost if
- Fits if you plan your day on a phone and want it on one timeline
- Works for people who do not want to make an account
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you repeat tasks, as repeating tasks, the week view and daily review are Pro
- Not for you if you use a computer, as it is phones only
- Watch out: tasks are stored on the phone with no sync mentioned
- Watch out: the Pro trial length is not stated, and Google Play shows a $5.99 to $34.99 range with no period
Pick Structured if
- Fits if a plain task list never sticks and you want the day as a timeline
- Makes sense if you'd rather pay once, as Pro has a lifetime price of $99.99
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, because repeating tasks, calendar import and Replan are all Pro
- Skip it if you work on Windows, where there's only the web version and it isn't complete yet
- Not for you if you want a price up front, as Pro prices depend on your region and show only in the app or store
- Watch out: the US App Store lists eight Pro price points, from $2.99 a month to $99.99 once
- Watch out: the web version needs a connection and a Structured Cloud account, and the trial length isn't stated
How we grade them
| 2.4GPADayBoostFair | 3.0GPAStructuredVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe lowest in-app price is $5.99, the middle of daily planners, but the Google Play listing gives no billing period. | BThe US App Store lists Pro from $9.99 to $49.99 a year, which is $0.83 to $4.17 a month, around the cheaper quarter of this category, or $2.99 to $6.99 a month, or $99.99 once for life, under two years of a typical planner. The snag: Structured publishes no price list, so what you see depends on your region. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe timeline, Inbox, tasks and reminders are free, which a person could live on. | CFree for good, with the timeline, an inbox, subtasks, notes, notifications, widgets and sync. But repeating tasks, calendar import, Reminders import and Replan all need Pro, and a day planner that can't see your calendar or repeat a task is one you'll outgrow in a week. |
| Features | COne timeline, time blocks, reminders and focus blocks do the basics, but repeating tasks and the week view are Pro. | BIt covers the whole job: one timeline for tasks and events with day, week and month views, an inbox for what isn't scheduled yet, imports from Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Reminders and Microsoft To Do, repeating tasks, Replan for the ones you missed, and an AI that drafts a day or scans a paper timetable. |
| Ease of use | BA phone app you install and start using with no account and nothing to set up, and no store rating on record. | A4.79 from about 167,000 App Store ratings, far over our bar for an A. Your day is a single colored line you read top to bottom. |
| Platforms and integrations | CiPhone and Android only, with no web, Mac or Windows version. | BiPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Android and a web app, kept in step by Structured Cloud, importing from Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Reminders and Microsoft To Do. But there's no Windows app, no API on record, and the web version still doesn't have every feature of the phone apps. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
