GQueues vs TasksBoard

GQueues

• Individuals and small teams already working in Google Workspace
• People who plan their tasks on Google Calendar
• Turning Gmail messages into tracked, assigned tasks

TasksBoard

• Google Tasks users who want a board view instead of a sidebar
• Families and small teams who need to share Google Tasks lists
• Google Workspace teams that want tasks to stay inside Google

GQueues

• A Google Account is required to sign in, and the vendor recommends a Gmail or Google Workspace address for full features.
• The free Lite plan covers core task management only. Google integrations, reminders, search and the mobile apps start with GQueues for YOU.
• No desktop app is listed. It runs in a browser, with Android and iOS apps and a Chrome extension.
• There is no public API yet; the help center says one is in beta testing and points to the MCP server instead.

TasksBoard

• It works only with a Google account: every task is stored in Google Tasks, and TasksBoard is a layer on top of it.
• There is no TasksBoard mobile app; the site's iOS and Android links lead to Google's own Google Tasks apps.
• The free plan stops at 5 shared lists; labels, multiple boards, customization, Sheets export and Drive attachments need Pro.
• Shared boards, team billing and priority support are limited to the Team plan.

GQueues

Queues, subtasks and Smart Queues

Tasks sit in lists called queues with unlimited subtasks, tags, notes, repeats and snoozing. Smart Queues filter for tasks that meet criteria you set.

Two-way Google Calendar sync

Changes made to tasks in Google Calendar or in GQueues update in both places in real time, and projects can sync to separate calendars you switch on and off.

Gmail, Drive and Chrome capture

A Google Workspace add-on turns emails into tasks, Drive files attach with permissions handled for collaborators, and a Chrome extension captures tasks as you browse.

List and board views

Any queue can be shown as a list or as a kanban-style board, with columns organized by status, assignee, date, priority or something else.

Sharing, assignments and Teams

Queues can be shared or published, tasks assigned and commented on, and changes tracked in an activity record. Teams add shared workspaces on the BUSINESS plan.

MCP for AI assistants

An MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Google Gemini list, search, add, change and complete tasks in your account after a sign-in you approve.

TasksBoard

Full-screen kanban board

Each Google Tasks list becomes a column on a board that fills the browser window, and tasks are dragged between columns to reorder or reprioritize them.

Shared lists

A Google Tasks list can be shared with edit or view-only access, and collaborators sign in with their existing Google accounts. Free accounts can use up to 5 shared lists.

Labels and customization

Pro adds color-coded task labels that work across boards, highlight colors for individual lists and custom board backgrounds.

Multiple and shared boards

Pro users can keep separate boards for work, personal and side projects. The Team plan lets a whole board be shared so every member sees the same lists.

Google Workspace connections

Tasks with dates appear in Google Calendar, a Gmail add-on turns emails into tasks, Drive files can be attached on Pro, and lists can be exported to Google Sheets on Pro.

Sync through Google Tasks

Changes sync in real time with Google Tasks, so they appear in Gmail, Google Calendar and Google's mobile apps. Changes made while offline are queued until the connection returns.
