Using the Todoist app for daily work

The Todoist app is a task manager for collecting commitments and deciding what to do next. Quick Add recognises natural-language dates, and labels and filters help group work across projects. It suits a consultant keeping client follow-ups visible or a small team assigning concrete next actions without building a large project workspace.

Todoist pricing: when Free is enough

Beginner is useful for trying the task structure. Its five personal projects and three filters can become restrictive when work spans several clients or recurring responsibilities. Pro expands capacity and adds calendar layout and task duration. Upgrade for a planning requirement you can identify, rather than paying just because a free project list has grown messy.

Team task management

Business adds a team workspace, roles and centralised billing. Its per-member cost should be compared with the number of people who actively manage work. Personal Pro features are included for members. Before rollout, decide how projects are named, who assigns tasks and whether completion means the deliverable has actually been reviewed.

Test a realistic week

Move one recurring process and one small client project into Todoist. Check whether staff can find overdue work, assign ownership and retrieve discussion context. These are suggested checks, not results from hands-on testing. TickTick and Microsoft To Do are useful personal-task alternatives. Trello, Asana and ClickUp are candidates when the team needs a broader project view.

Access your Todoist account

For the Todoist login, use the Log in link on the official Todoist website or sign in through the app. Keep account access separate from your plan decision: compare project capacity and team requirements before upgrading.

Todoist FAQs

Are task reminders available on Free?

The current Beginner pricing lists task reminders. Paid Pro adds custom reminders and broader planning features.

When is Pro worth paying for?

Consider it when five projects or three filters are too restrictive, or you need calendar layout and task durations. It costs $60/year at the checked USD annual rate.

Does Business include personal Pro?

The official pricing page includes Pro features for each Business member alongside the shared team workspace.

How much does a five-person team cost annually?

At $96 per member annually, five Business members cost $480/year before tax. Confirm whether every intended user is a paid member or guest.

Can personal and team tasks be separated?

Todoist offers a shared workspace alongside personal tasks, and filters can focus on personal or team projects.

Is this the right tool for resource-heavy delivery plans?

Use a representative project to evaluate scheduling, dependencies and reporting. If resource allocation is central, compare a broader project management platform.
