TODOIST VS TICKTICK

The showdown
Guys, this video was fun! I really enjoyed putting together the feature head to head with Todoist vs
TickTick, to accompany this soon, I will be doing a side-by-side battle, as this was more a high
level review of the two experiences.

Todoist and TickTick​ are probably two of the most similar to-do list experiences and I wanted to
go into more depth on the pros/cons and also who is suited to each app.

TODOIST​ ​(Pros/Cons)

PROS:
● Strong advanced functions (labels, filters, templates)
● Well-price option for basic and advanced GTD users
● Flexible layout and design for implementing your workflow

CONS:
● Not a stunning design like Things 3
● Reminders behind paywall (PRO feature)

TICKTICK​ ​(Pros/Cons)

PROS:
● Personalised design with themes
● Easy-to-get started layout and structure
● Calendar option (PRO feature)

CONS:
● No GTD-style features
● Layout is fixed, limiting your flexibility
So, should I get Todoist or TickTick?
Let’s share a few ideal experiences that these would suit....

TODOIST​ ​(Suited to...)

SUITS:
● Professionals/freelancers (organising personal/pro tasks)
● Small to medium sized teams (2 - 15 people)
● Students transitioning from study to work

TICKTICK​ ​(Suited to...)

SUITS:
● Professionals in small businesses

● Can be used for professional means, just less enterprise friendly.
EPISODE NOTES:

# SCRIPT: Things 3.0 vs Todoist

Outlook, Gmail. — Same functional experience.

*WINNER*: Todoist, but both very platform friendly experiences.

# *Structure*
> Todoist: Inbox, Today, Next 7 Days, Projects.

> TickTick: All, Today, Next 7 Days, Calendar, Inbox, Lists, Summary, Completed, Trash.

*WINNER*: No winner. Depends on what you like. TickTick is more like Things 3 in
structure, but Todoist keeps more flexible.

For me: Inbox at the top — finishing with Next 7 Days.

# *Task Input*
> Todoist: Intelligent Input, Projects, labels, reminders, Priority, Comments, due dates.

> Todoist: Reminders, Duplicate, Notes/comments, Comments via email, Activity log,
attachments, Dropbox, Drive, audio, emoji, archive. Sub-tasks.
