TickTick review and pricing

Most features per dollar; cross-platform with calendar bundled.

By Appest Inc. · Founded 2013 · Beijing, China · private

TickTick is the cross-platform task app that bundles what Todoist sells separately: a built-in calendar view, Pomodoro timer, habit tracker, Eisenhower matrix, and natural-language input — all at roughly half Todoist Pro pricing. Appest is Chinese-owned, which becomes a material concern for DSGVO-strict EU buyers and any defense/government adjacent work; data routing has historically passed through infrastructure outside the EU. Trade-offs: support response is slower than Todoist/Doist, the desktop apps lag the mobile apps in polish, and Western enterprise procurement teams sometimes block on the Chinese-origin ownership.

Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
