Structured vs Thruday

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

Thruday

• People with ADHD, autism or time blindness who plan better visually
• Parents, carers and support workers helping to plan someone else's day
• Keeping a day plan, to-do list, focus timer and mood log in one app

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.

Thruday

• Advanced mood analytics, custom categories, journaling, calendar sync and extra customization need a Premium subscription.
• Creating unlimited planners to manage a family's schedules is described as a Premium feature.
• The vendor's website does not publish Premium prices; the figures here are from the US App Store listing.
• No desktop apps are listed; on a computer Thruday runs as a web app.

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.

Thruday

Visual timeline

The day is shown in time order with each activity given an image and color, so what is happening now and what comes next can be read at a glance.

Routines and reminders

Morning, evening, work or school routines recur automatically inside the daily schedule, with alerts and notifications for tasks, plans and appointments.

To-do list

Tasks are captured in a list with color-coded priorities, tags and subtasks, then reordered or added to the day when you are ready to plan them.

Focus timer

A focus session starts from a to-do, a planned activity or on its own, and can be paused, rewound or extended while the next activity stays in view.

Mood tracking and journal

Moods are logged through the day with a traffic-light system and reviewed for patterns over time. A private journal holds notes and brain dumps.

Assistants for carers and family

A parent, carer, partner or support worker can be invited to help plan routines and days, and daily schedules can be printed.
