Todoist

Boards and cards for people who hate project plans

Trello drags cards across a board instead of listing tasks by date, from $6, the visual version of the same queue for a small team rather than one person.

Docs, tasks and dashboards in one place

ClickUp adds docs and dashboards around the task list, from $7, more structure for a team than Todoist's single-person recurring list.

Task and project tracking for small teams

Asana adds dependencies and timelines for a team coordinating handoffs, from $10.99, the shape to reach for once one person is not the whole operation.

Flat pricing that stops caring how big you get

Basecamp charges one flat price regardless of headcount, from $15, built for a whole team's projects rather than one person's recurring tasks.

Builds the day's schedule from the task list

Motion auto-schedules each task into a block on the calendar instead of leaving it on a list, starting at $29 with no free tier, a heavier automatic planner than Todoist's recurring capture.
