Todoist vs Zenkit To Do

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

Zenkit To Do

• Teams that already use other Zenkit products
• Moving lists over from Wunderlist, Microsoft To Do or Asana
• People who want desktop apps on Windows, macOS and Linux

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.

Zenkit To Do

• To Do is not priced on its own: its pricing link leads to the Zenkit suite plans, which are charged per seat and exclude VAT.
• No free plan appears on the pricing page. After the 14-day trial, an organization without a subscription may be limited to exporting its data.
• Plus is capped at 10 users, 50 lists and 20,000 items, and leaves out iCal integration, user roles and email to project.
• The US App Store listing shows a Zenkit To Do Plus in-app purchase at $3.99 and $35.99 with no period, and help articles still name a Free plan.

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.

Zenkit To Do

Inbox and smart lists

New tasks land in an Inbox and are sorted into lists and folders. Smart lists such as Today, This Week, Starred and Assigned to Me pull tasks together across lists.

Due dates, reminders and repeaters

Tasks take due dates and reminders, and repeaters create recurring tasks at intervals you choose, including on workdays only.

Shared lists, assignments and comments

Lists and folders can be shared with other people, tasks assigned to members, and comments with @mentions keep the discussion on the task.

Subtasks, files and notes

Tasks break down into subtasks and checklists, take file attachments including from Dropbox, Box or Google Drive, and have descriptions formatted with Markdown or HTML.

Offline access across devices

Lists and tasks stay available offline and sync between the web app and the apps for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.

Shared data with the Zenkit suite

To Do sits on the same data platform as other Zenkit products, so its tasks can also be opened in Zenkit's project tool with Kanban, Gantt and mind map views.
