How we grade them
| 2.4GPADoit.imFair | 2.4GPAOmniFocusFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPro is $2 a month or $20 a year, inside the category's cheaper quarter, which starts at $2.08. | CThe $74.99 Standard licence is under two years of this category's middle subscription. The rest isn't: custom perspectives and automation mean the $149.99 Pro licence, the subscription is $99.99 a year, and browser access is $4.99 a month on top of a licence. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan on web, Android and iOS, but sync is manual or once every 24 hours, and goals, subtasks and the daily review are Pro. A 30-day Pro trial comes with sign-up. | CNo free plan. You get 14 days with no automatic charge if you start the trial from an Omni Account, and then the app becomes a viewer: your tasks are still there to look at, and that's all. |
| Features | CGTD inbox, projects, goals, Google Calendar sync, subtasks and a daily review. The listing flags a dated product: a 2021 footer, with iOS 7 and Android 4.0 as the minimum versions. | BIt covers the whole job: projects, folders, tags, flags, due and defer dates, repeats, a Forecast that shows calendar events beside actions, and Review that walks your projects on a schedule. Custom perspectives, Focus and automation are Pro only. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. GTD has its own way of working to learn. | C4.02 from 342 App Store ratings, in the middle band for this category. And there's a lot to hold in your head: perspectives, defer dates, review cycles, tags against projects. Expect more than a week before it's routine. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with Google Calendar and Evernote links. The minimum versions are old. | BMac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Vision Pro cover phone and computer, and there's a browser version, though it needs an Apple setup first and loses calendar integration. No Windows or Android, and Apple Calendar is the only integration listed. |
| Best for | a GTD-style task list with goals and a daily review | running lots of projects on Apple devices |

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.
