Todoist is the most balanced app here for someone who keeps both personal errands and work tasks in one place. Smart Quick Add reads dates, priorities and projects from a typed sentence, recurring due dates and reminders work on the free plan, and the apps cover phones, computers and the browser. The free Beginner plan allows 5 personal projects, 3 filter views and 5 MB uploads, which is enough to try the system properly. Pro costs $5 per month billed yearly or $7 monthly and raises the limits to 300 projects and 150 filter views, adds calendar and table layouts, task duration, custom reminders, full reporting history and Task Assist. The Business plan adds a shared team workspace at $8 per user per month billed yearly. The trade-offs are modest. Calendar layout is a paid feature, and people who want built-in habit tracking or a focus timer will find more in TickTick. For a clean, fast list that follows you everywhere, Todoist is the default pick.
