|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPremium is $49.99 a year, about $4.17 a month, which is right around what paid to-do apps start at. It buys 299 lists, multiple calendar views, task durations and 299 habits. The site sells it by the year only. The App Store also lists $4.99 monthly. | CPremium Family is $5.99 a month, or $49.99 a year, above what paid to-do apps typically start at. And it buys extras: widgets, pinned tasks, pre-reminders and Premium themes. The web version needs the Pro Plan at $9.49 a month or $94.99 a year. Dear for what you get. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for good, with sync across devices, list and kanban views and a basic calendar. But it's capped at 9 lists, 99 tasks a list, 5 habits, 2 reminders a task and 1 attachment a day. Fine to start on, tight once you spread out. | AThe part that matters is free: shared lists that sync in real time, category tabs, notifications and reminders. Most couples and families could stay here. The trade is ads, which both store listings flag. |
| Features | AType a task and it picks out the date, or just say it out loud. Show a list as a board, a timeline or an Eisenhower matrix. Then there's the calendar, the habit tracker, the Pomodoro timer and shared lists with tasks assigned to people. That's the whole job and then some. | BLists update for everyone the moment an item is added or ticked, members get notified, and due dates can repeat. Tabs like Groceries and Home can be private or shared. Solid for sharing. But widgets are Premium, the web board is Pro, and no integrations are listed. |
| Ease of use | A4.9 from about 46,000 App Store ratings, which is about as high as these go. Dates and times are recognised as you type, so adding a task doesn't feel like filling in a form. | BSomeone joins by scanning a QR code or opening a link, and the site says the invited person doesn't need to sign up. That's about as painless as sharing gets. There's no rating on record to go by, so it stops at a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, and it connects to Notion and Google Calendar. One small catch: location-based reminders are listed as iOS only. | BiPhone and Android, plus a web version if you pay for Pro. The App Store marks it as only for iPhone, so there's no native iPad, Mac or Windows app, and it lists no integrations. |
| Best for | tasks, habits and a focus timer in one app | a shared list for couples and families |
