Hero Assistant vs Structured

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

Structured

• People who prefer a visual timeline of the day to a plain task list
• Apple users who want one planner on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch
• Buyers who would rather pay once: Pro has a lifetime purchase option

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.

Structured

• The vendor publishes no price list. Pro pricing depends on region and currency and is shown in the app or app store.
• Recurring tasks, calendar import, Reminders import, Replan and Structured AI all require Structured Pro.
• There is no Windows app. Structured Web runs in a browser but does not yet have every feature of the mobile apps.
• Structured Web needs an internet connection and a Structured Cloud sync account.

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.

Structured

Visual timeline

Tasks and imported calendar events appear on one timeline for the day, with daily, weekly and monthly views and color coding.

Inbox, subtasks and notes

Tasks can wait in an inbox until they are scheduled, and carry subtasks, notes, icons and notifications. All of this is in the free version.

Calendar and Reminders import

Brings in events from Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook and to-do lists from Apple Reminders and Microsoft To Do. Requires Structured Pro.

Recurring tasks and Replan

Repeat tasks on a schedule, and use Replan to move missed tasks onto another day. Both are Pro features.

Structured AI

Drafts a daily schedule and can scan a physical planner or timetable into the timeline. Requires Structured Pro.

Sync across devices

Structured Cloud sync shares data and Pro access between Apple devices, Android and the web app, and the Apple Watch app shows the schedule on your wrist.
