Microsoft To Do review and pricing

Free with Microsoft 365; the bundled-default displacement.

By Microsoft Corporation · Founded 2017 · Redmond, WA · public

Microsoft To Do is the successor to Wunderlist (Microsoft acquired and sunset it in 2020). For anyone already inside Microsoft 365, it is free, syncs flagged Outlook emails as tasks, surfaces Planner team tasks in one personal inbox, and runs on every platform. It will not win design awards and lacks the deeper features of Todoist or TickTick, but for tens of millions of M365 seats it is the "good enough" displacement of standalone task apps. Trade-offs: thin feature set, weak third-party integrations outside the Microsoft stack, and roadmap velocity depends on Microsoft prioritizing a free included product.

    Microsoft shut down Wunderlist after acquiring it in 2015; migration to To Do was uneven
Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
