### "Todoist Gets Things Done"

March 26, 2026

5.0

Todoist is consistently solid. I have tried well over a dozen others, so I have done my comparison shopping. Todoist is the one.

Pros

The thing that sets Todoist apart from other similar products, in my opinion, is ease of use. The layout of the product is intuitive, and it provides just the right amount of features, not so many that its boggy but enough that it gets things done.

Cons

No to do app is perfect, and the thing that makes Todoist a go to for me is going to turn off some people who feel like they need every single bell and whistle.

### "Possibly, the best task manager."

August 30, 2025

5.0

Pros

Excellent application for managing my tasks, with very advanced features and minimalist design. I love it!

Cons

It may be more expensive than others on the market. From a productive point of view, it's worth what it costs.

[Pagico](https://www.capterra.com/p/194934/Pagico/)[Things](https://www.capterra.com/p/119096/Things/)

I wanted a robust system to manage my tasks and projects, but that wasn't so complicated. That it was efficient and easy to drop a task. Minimalist processes help productivity.

### "Simple and easy task manager "

December 19, 2025

3.0

Convenient and eady. But a bit oversimplified. I love jotting ideas and tasks down in one easy place.

Pros

Easy to use. The speed at which I could throw things on my list was limited only by my ability to think of them.

Cons

Other similar software seems to have more versatility of at least has made me more aware of its versatility

### "Great tool to build and maintain rhythm"

May 22, 2026

5.0

I have used Todoist continuously for about 8-10 years. Back at that point in my life served a very important goal: I wanted to rebuild habits to maintain a right everyday rhythm. As part of that: - I set goals for myself every single day (~ deliver 5 tasks and measure it back) - consciously scheduled activities to OTHER days (so my brain is not busy with them) Todoist is excellent for such setup + its gamification engine helped push that a bit further.

Pros

Mobile-friendly interface Gamification to help habit building Easy synchronisation between web and mobile

Cons

No such things. For me todoist serves as a very simple tool, combining private and business task management.

### "A Versatile Task Management System for a Hectic Digital World"

July 6, 2025

5.0

Overall, Todoist is a versatile system that has helped me visualize and better manage a variety of professional and personal projects. One thing I appreciate about it is its ability to function well using a variety of pre-set and custom productivity systems. In my case, I needed it to work with projects involving everything from academic administrative tasks to teaching and grading, writing web content to podcast and video production, social media management to freelance editing, and so on. It can be set up to support all of these tasks through kanban boards, calendar/time blocking structures, tags and priority lists, and project setups you can repurpose at will. All of this make it both well worth the price of admission AND a system I can't imagine myself replacing. Honestly, I wish I had known about Todoist a long time ago. I was originally using two different free competitors, and neither had the reliability and functionality of Todoist even in its free plan (I paid for the pro plan, and it is worth every penny). It is now an indispensable part of my productivity setup.

Pros

1) It is fairly easy to set up for basic and intermediate setups. Learning more complex setups has a learning curve, but it is not as steep as one might think and isn't even required to get the most out of the software. I see this as a huge plus. 2) The interface is fairly intuitive and the integrations (phone app, browser extension, etc.) are easy to use (and useful). Additionally, it syncs across devices, making your tasks accessible from anywhere, which was something I wanted in a task manager when I went looking. All this is seamless. 3) If you have no idea what you're doing with Todoist beyond "use it to manage your projects and tasks," there is a massive wall of help documentation and inspiration in their knowledge database. This helped point me in the direction that, thus far, has worked best for me. They also have numerous templates that you can use as-is or modify for your own use.

Cons

Personally, I would like more help documentation for the more complicated syntax and a better way to automate repeatable projects such as podcasts or video content with set times for creation, editing, and release. You can sort of do the latter with a Kanban board, but not without a few extra clicks that a quick automation could solve. The former is something they do have documentation for, but it would be helpful to provide a stronger range of introductory materials for those who lack experience with syntax that is similar to markdown, etc. I would consider this a minor con, though, as you don't NEED to use the complex syntax or NEED to have a fuller range of automations to effectively use Todoist for most forms of task management.

[Microsoft To Do](https://www.capterra.com/p/227173/Wunderlist/)

Microsoft's system, while useful, made integrations with Google Calendar unnecessarily complicated. Since I have two projects that I do not fully own using the Google ecosystem, manually adding tasks to calendars in two different ecosystems didn't make much sense to me. I set up to find an alternative that could do what I needed it to do, and Todoist came out on top for features. I knew going in that I would likely need to pay for a service, and Todoist also won that fight by providing everything I needed at the lowest paid plan. Note: I also tried Google Tasks, but it wasn't versatile enough for my needs (i.e., managing multiple projects with very different types of tasks and time needs).

### "(Free) Task management software"

November 14, 2025

5.0

Pros

Personal and shared projects. iPhone widget works great and shows you the days tasks at a glance. Can share it with other calendars (e.g. Google calendar)

Cons

Customised reminders aren't available on a free plan. Sometimes tasks on a shared project don't seem to show up on an asignee's calendar unless task is assigned to them

Pros

Faced with a constant flow of decisions, I need an uncluttered mental space to list my priorities. Todoist fills this role perfectly.The mobile app is ultra-fast and syncs flawlessly, which is ideal during my business travels.

Todoist is one of those tools that just works. It’s simple, reliable, and helps you stay consistent without overcomplicating things. If you’re someone who tends to overthink or get overwhelmed, this is a solid choice. Customer Support is also very helpful whenever questions need to get answered.

It’s not cluttered, which helps you actually stay consistent. Great for daily planning Perfect for mapping out your day, setting priorities, and staying on track. Works across all devices Phone, laptop—everything syncs smoothly, so you always know what needs to get done.

### "Todoist has been a great body double. "

December 30, 2025

5.0

Overall I have been impressed with this app over the past 3 months. I use it for school, work and my small business. This helps me keep things straight for one time tasks or weekly tasks like repeat assignments.

Pros

I love that I can use the app or computer version and they sync consistently. I also like that I can add # to different categories and organize them pretty quickly. Simple reminders help me remember even the daily tasks. This app has been a great body double, keeping me in check.

Cons

Sometimes the daily tasks do not remind me to check them off. So they can build up. This is an easy fix in settings.

I really like it overall. You can share projects, assign tasks, comment, and attach files which is handy for teams and partners.

Pros

Todoist is visually simple and easy to navigate, making it quick to add, organize, and check off tasks.

Cons

Features like reminders, labels, filters, automatic backups, comments, and file uploads are behind a paywall. It can feel limiting for free users.

### "Efficient task automation for customer project management."

August 20, 2025

5.0

We made our sprint planning more regular, cut project setup time by 40%, and increased client visibility. Strong security controls keep sensitive code discussions secure, an amazing value at $6 per user per month for our 15-member team.

Pros

The automation rules make it easy to handle task assignments between our frontend and backend teams, and shared project views make it easy for customers to monitor progress on their builds without frequent status calls.

Cons

Customer support becomes slow during peak times, and advanced automation fails sometimes when it comes to connecting with customer tools.

### "Experience with Todo"

September 25, 2025

5.0

Todoist isn’t a full-featured management app, so I had to switch to Notion and create my task lists there.

Pros

Todoist let me organize my days for several years with an app available on both my phone and computer. Unlike Notion, which I use today not just for tasks, seeing my tasks and their progress on mobile is more intuitive.

Cons

I don’t really see any downsides. My use was limited to setting tasks and checking them off once I finished with.

### "Task Lists levelled up!"

November 7, 2025

5.0

Very good, helps you keep on top of work and also others if you need to in your role, i'd recommend to anyone.

Pros

For anyone who's sick of writing to do lists on paper, todoist is a great alternative! Great for task tracking and also allows collaboration for very little effort.

Cons

Nothing - does what it says on the tin! To do lists electronically where teams can share work. Maybe more AI features in the future could help.

I've enjoyed this app. I use it everyday. I can change it up when life circumstances change so it always fits what I need.

Pros

Keeps me organized. I don't keep notes to myself all over everywhere now. I like that I can easily save emails to different categories to read later.

Cons

It took a bit to learn how to enter all the info so that items would save to where I wanted them to go and all the info I wanted was included.

Pros

The beauty of Todoist is in its simplicity. I use it to chart production milestones, editorial schedules, and personal writing ambitions. The tags, priorities, and repeating tasks, make sure nothing gets away from you.

Cons

The calendar views were a little weak. I need to consult a different calendar app to understand how things stack up across the week.

### "Great lightweight task manager for individuals or small teams - pick it up and get Todo-ing"

March 27, 2025

4.0

Overall, it's been positive. It allows me to dump my tasks easily, set up recurring reminders, and communicate with my team effectively, with minimal learning curve.

Pros

Natural language operations, ease of use in a team environment, sub-tasks for larger jobs, recurring tasks work very well

Cons

"Undo"ing a task can be a pain if you accidentally complete a task on mobile in particular. If you have one large task with many subtasks, you need to micro-manage quite a lot. The "weekend" settings need more work. Calendar integrations can get messy quickly.
