Geekbot vs Todoist: Which is a better fit?

María José M

Strategist

I found myself having fun and finding better ways to organize myself and the team to answer better to geekbot.

If I forget to post a response for a check-in and decide to do that the next day before the check-in time, I will not be prompted for a response.

CEO

Really fantastic as a method to cut down on needless meetings. Really simple UI and also helpful to see progress you (and the team) has made on a weekly basis.

Its difficult to send multiple text. We have create snippet and then send it.

The fact that it allows me to save time getting my team to report themselves. Its like having a PO constantly on top of my team.

Finding really difficult to fault this software.

Producer

Also love that people can pick and choose the best time for them to fill their standup, that's especially practical for contractors that have variable hours.

I used to say "a pain to edit later," but they fixed that: if you edit what you've entered in the geekbot channel, your corrections immediately show up in the group channel.

With the many features, beautiful UI and even productivity strategies explained and supported in the app, it's fantastic.

There is one annoying feature that is turned on by default: it reminds you of your unfinished tasks every day. I ass tasks to remind myself whenever I need to, not every day.

The Kudos feature is amazing. And the report that you get at the end of every year showing all you did during the whole year is pretty cool as well.

Initially, it can be somewhat confusing to figure out how to use. It seems quite complicated and can be difficult to use efficiently.

Todoist helps the creative person whose ideas are all over the places. It helps to put it together and create a timeline to complete / convert those new creative ideas into tasks.

The main dislike I have is the collaboration. I don't have buy in from my family to integrate the software into my group.

The design is really great at promoting a sense of accomplishment when you mark something as done and this helps you keep going.

There are some features that are lacking such as inability to add details to your tasks, limited entries and even some basic features such as reminders are not available in the free version.
