Decision snapshot

Entity field audit 100/100

Todoist is a task and to-do manager for individuals and small teams with natural-language task capture, projects, labels, filters and light board/calendar views. Beginner Free; Pro ~$6.25/user/mo annual; Business ~$10/user/mo (plus local tax) with team workspace features. Strong for personal productivity and light team tasks — not a full Work OS.

Best for

  • Personal productivity and to-do capture
  • Light team task lists on Business
  • Buyers who want natural-language tasks
  • micro / founders: Todoist fit for micro founders teams in the lightweight-board job cluster, from first-party positioning and Project-management Batch-D research.

Not ideal for

  • Work OS / portfolio buyers
  • Agency proofing
  • Engineering sprints
  • Spreadsheet PMO

Key tradeoffs

  • Not a Work OS or portfolio tool
  • Team features mainly on Business
  • Reporting is personal productivity, not PMO
  • No native Gantt/resource management

Pricing: 3 documented plans · 1 free · entry paid: Pro · trial documented on at least one plan

Our verdict

Choose Todoist when personal or light team task management is the job — landscape beside Work OS peers. Compare Asana/ClickUp for team Work OS, Trello for Kanban boards, and Motion for AI calendar auto-scheduling. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-17 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, minimums and usage rates on the vendor site before purchase.

Best for

  • Personal productivity and to-do capture
  • Light team task lists on Business
  • Buyers who want natural-language tasks

Not ideal for

  • Work OS / portfolio buyers
  • Agency proofing
  • Engineering sprints
  • Spreadsheet PMO

Bottom line

Free Beginner; Pro ~$6.25, Business ~$10 per user/mo annual. Confirm live.
