Todoist review and pricing

The cross-platform default for personal task management.

By Doist Inc. · Founded 2007 · Santiago, Chile (remote-first) · private

Todoist is the long-running cross-platform task manager from Doist, a profitable remote-first company that has resisted acquisition and venture pressure. Its strength is consistency: natural-language quick-add ("buy milk tomorrow 5pm #errands p1") works identically on macOS, Windows, web, iOS, Android, Apple Watch, browser extensions, and Outlook/Gmail add-ins. Karma gamification and a well-documented API keep power users invested. Trade-offs: the free tier is narrow (5 active projects, no reminders), Pro pricing has crept up, and the design feels conservative next to TickTick or Things.

    Doist publicly reaffirmed bootstrapped, no-acquisition stance after 17 years
Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
