Apple-only loyalists wanting one-time purchase (Things), calendar-first time-blockers (Sunsama), or users who want everything bundled at lower price (TickTick).
Individuals and 2-10 person teams needing a reliable cross-platform inbox with strong integrations and a long-term-stable vendor.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Todoist’s product card in our Top 10 Task Management Software for 2026:

- ! No native time-blocking or calendar grid view
- ! Design feels conservative next to TickTick, Things, Sunsama
