Our take
A simple, affordable task manager with light AI assistance - best for individuals who want straightforward to-do management, not full automation.
Best for
Individuals and freelancers who want a clean, affordable task manager with occasional AI help (task suggestions, natural-language due dates).
Pros
- Very affordable - free tier covers most personal use, Pro is a few dollars/month
- Clean, fast interface across all platforms
- Natural-language date parsing and AI-suggested task organization
Cons
- AI features are lighter than Motion or ClickUp - more task list than project management
- Not designed for cross-app automation
How it compares
Much simpler and cheaper than Motion or ClickUp, but with far less automation and project-management depth.
Full review
Todoist is a long-standing task management app known for its clean design and natural-language input — type "submit report every Friday at 5pm" and it correctly creates a recurring task — with AI features added more recently for task suggestions and smart scheduling assistance.
Its strengths remain its core: fast task entry, flexible recurring tasks, projects and labels for organization, and cross-platform availability (mobile, desktop, browser extensions, email integration). AI additions are more incremental than tools built AI-first like Motion, focusing on smart suggestions rather than full schedule automation.
The free tier covers basic personal use; Pro (~$4-5/month) adds reminders, labels, and automatic backups, with Business plans for teams. For users who want a fast, reliable, no-friction task manager with AI as a light enhancement rather than the core feature, Todoist remains a strong choice — those wanting AI to actively manage their schedule should look at Motion or Reclaim.
