Which one is for you

Pick Superlist if

  • Fits if your tasks usually come with a paragraph of notes attached
  • Works for small teams sharing lists and handing tasks to each other

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you're staying free, with 5 lists, 5 people per shared list and 500MB of storage
  • Pricey if AI meeting notes are why you came, at $21 a person on yearly billing or $25 monthly
  • Watch out: Basic is $6 a month, not $5, unless you pay for the year up front
  • Not for you if you want integrations or voice input free, as both need Basic, and there's no trial
  • Skip it if you want an app on Windows or Linux, as none is listed

Pick Taskwise if

  • Fits if you want a free kanban board with a calendar and a timer, and one browser tab is enough
  • Works for solo people who want to time tasks against an estimate

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you need a phone or desktop app, since only the browser version is listed
  • Not for you if tasks are shared with others, as the listing shows no sharing or team features
  • Watch out: the site doesn't say which AI model runs the assistant or where your task data is kept
  • Watch out: there is no pricing, about or terms page, so what 'free' covers over time isn't written down

How we grade them

2.6GPASuperlistGood2.8GPATaskwiseGood
Value for money
CBasic is $5 a person a month billed yearly ($59), or $6 monthly, which sits right at the top of what this category charges rather than below it. Super jumps to $21 a month yearly ($249), and that's where the unlimited AI meeting notes are.
AThe site describes it as free and lists no paid plan, so nothing is charged on record. The catch is that the claim rests on the home page alone.
Free plan and trial
CFree forever with unlimited tasks and notes, but only 5 lists, 5 people in a shared list and 500MB of storage. Work, home, groceries and you're nearly out. There's no trial of the paid plans either.
ANo plan, trial or card is mentioned anywhere, and the whole app is described as free.
Features
CNotes live inside tasks, lists nest as deep as you like, and shared lists update in real time. The listing names the gaps: integrations and voice input need Basic, unlimited AI meeting notes and AI chat need Super, and no Windows or Linux app is listed.
CBoard, calendar, checklists, tags, priorities and time tracking against an estimate. The listing shows no sharing, recurring tasks or integrations, so the basics have gaps.
Ease of use
B4.52 from 455 App Store ratings, taken as the store writes it. That clears the bar for a B but is a long way from the 4.7 an A asks for. Adding a task by typing, by voice or from a lock screen widget is quick.
CA board you build yourself, column by column, with nothing on record about a tutorial or templates. No store rating exists to go on.
Platforms and integrations
AMac, iPhone, Android and the web, hooked into Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Linear and GitHub. That's a desktop app, both phones and a real list of connections, though the desktop app is Mac only.
CWeb only. No desktop or phone app is listed, and no integrations.

More comparisons

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.
