Alternatives to Todoist
The cross-platform to-do standard with natural language input
Todoist ranks #1 of 20 in Task managers, with an Alt Score of 87. It is freemium from $7/month or $60/year (Pro plan) and available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Web and Browser extension. 11 of 11 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Individuals and teams who want to manage personal to-dos, projects, or team task coordination across multiple devices, from casual list-makers to professionals organizing work with recurring deadlines.
A task manager where you capture to-dos using natural-language input, organize them into projects and sub-projects with labels, priorities, and filters, and schedule due dates, recurring tasks, and reminders. It syncs across web, desktop, and mobile apps, supports shared projects for team collaboration, and integrates with tools like Google Calendar, Slack, and email. Optional AI features (Todoist Assist) help break down tasks into subtasks and plans.
You add a task by typing it in plain language (e.g., "Submit report Friday 3pm"), which Todoist parses into a due date and project; tasks are then grouped into projects/sections, tagged with labels, and checked off as completed, with progress optionally tracked via the Karma point system.
