Planndu vs Todoist

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

Todoist

• People who want one task list on every device they own
• Fast capture: typing a task with its date in a single line
• Households and small teams sharing a few projects

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.

Todoist

• The free plan stops at 5 personal projects and keeps only 1 week of activity history.
• Calendar layout, task durations and custom reminders all need Pro or Business.
• Personal projects are capped at 5 people, even on paid plans.

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.

Todoist

Quick Add

Capture tasks in natural language as they come to you, including recurring due dates and reminders.

List, board and calendar layouts

Switch any project between a list, a kanban board and a calendar. The calendar layout needs a paid plan.

Filters, labels and priorities

Saved filter views pull tasks from across projects: 3 on the free plan, 150 on Pro and Business.

Shared projects

Share a project to assign tasks and comment on them. Personal projects allow up to 5 people on every plan.

Team workspace

Business adds public and private team projects, folders, roles and permissions, and shared templates.

Ramble and Task Assist

Ramble turns spoken thoughts into tasks; free accounts get limited sessions. Task Assist is included from Pro.
