How we grade them
| 3.6GPATodoistExcellent | 3.0GPAWeDoVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFive dollars a month if you pay for the year, eight for teams. Hard to find anything this good on this many devices for that. | 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 forever, and reminders are included now. But 5 projects is tight. Work, home, one side thing and you're done. | 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 | BTyping tasks in and repeating dates are brilliant. Filters are great if you like that sort of thing. No start dates though, and the calendar view is paid. | 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 | A4.8 from around 129,000 App Store ratings. Open it, type a thing, done. Nobody needs a tutorial for this. | 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 | AMac, Windows, Linux (yes, really), iPhone, Android, web, watch and browser. There's an API too if you like wiring things together. | 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 | all-round to-do lists | a shared list for couples and families |
