Todoist is built around one job: getting a task written down and assigned before anyone forgets it. Smart Quick Add, reminders, priority levels, sub-tasks, labels and recurring due dates are available on the free Beginner plan, and up to 5 people can share a personal project with assigned tasks and comments. That covers many two to five person teams at no cost, within the cap of 5 personal projects and 3 filter views. Pro, at $5 per month billed yearly or $7 monthly, is aimed at individuals and adds calendar and table layouts, task duration, deadlines and 150 filter views. Teams move to Business at $8 per user per month billed yearly, or $10 monthly, which adds a shared team workspace with up to 500 team projects, shared templates, team activity logs, roles and permissions, and centralized billing. Todoist has no Gantt chart or dependencies, so teams that plan multi-step launches may want something heavier.

Who it is for

Price

Free Beginner plan; Pro $5 per month billed yearly ($7 monthly), Business $8 per user per month billed yearly ($10 monthly), plus local tax.
