Here, we’ll compare the two rival to-do apps and see how they stack up.<\/p>\n

Todoist <\/a>leads the 17 million or so to-do apps (yes, really) you have to choose from. The reason being, it\u2019s a dedicated to-do app with years of positive reviews backing its effectiveness.<\/p>\n Signing up is as simple as connecting by way of Facebook or Google and from there, you can start filling up your list. Set deadlines, assign priorities to tasks, and delegate work to others. Completing tasks is a matter of checking off a box.<\/p>\n If you want every feature, you\u2019ll need to pay about $4 a month, or $29 for the full year. Which, if you like the lite gamification vibe, then it\u2019s not a huge expense. Initially, it looks the app just presets a Gmail-esque task list.<\/p>\n But, it gets better\u2014for one, you can create projects and divide them up by task\u2014checking off each small step on the road to completion. It also aims to build a habit-tracking element into the mix by offering \u201cKarma Points\u201d each time you complete a to-do.<\/p>\n The free version comes with the basic lineup of tools, but if you\u2019re into it, we recommend springing for the Premium features.<\/p>\n The paid plan allows for more customization\u2014you can filter based on criteria such as due date, project, label, assignee, or a combination. Search by using the @ symbol\u2014 to locate tasks within seconds\u2014 @pending, @email, etc.<\/p>\n The paid plan includes things like color-coded progress reports you can sort by week or month\u2014this may or may not be relevant to you.<\/p>\n The benefit is, you\u2019ll get an overhead view of how you spend your time, and you can feel good about yourself for sticking with an obligation for x days in a row.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Todoist lacks a few basics. For example, there’s no traditional calendar view, which makes it a bit hard to plan ahead.<\/p>\n It does integrate with Google Calendar and iCal, so this might not be a huge issue.<\/p>\n It would also be nice to see a Pomodoro timer integrated with the Karma Points system, but again, it’s not the end of the world.<\/p>\n![\"todoist](\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,h_500\/v1551899716\/editorial\/Screen_Shot_2019-03-06_at_12.19.53_AM.png\" "\\"karma")
