Super good that you lined up each app real time next to each other to compare their look and functionality. Every RUclips reviewer comparing products should do the same.
Ha! I'm no salesman... although I do like TickTick, I'm not tied to it. I just share what I come across while using it... but I may look at other apps more in 2024. We'll see.
I enjoyed the "side-by-side" format of this video as well as your presentation. At 23:48 you mentioned the Eisenhower Matrix (Task Prioritization), Focus Timer (Task Performance), and the Habit Tracker in the same context (by implication) as not necessary for a Task Management System. I agree that the Habit Tracker is not necessary but it seems to me the other two features are integral to "task management".
You might be right? It might depend on how you, personally, use TickTick. I would argue that they might be very useful tools - but still maybe they are not necessary for basic task management. But certainly this is just my opinion. It sounds like you are finding both the Eisenhower Matrix and Focus Timer an integral part of your process? Are these the distinguishing features that bring you to TickTick?
I really enjoy using ticktick premium as it suits my needs and I can understand it a little bit better as the UI is easy. I have watched several videos and I really enjoyed this particular comparison video. Thanks for taking out the time and clearly explaining and comparing these two software products side by side, really appreciate it Joshua :))
3:52 If you press Shift+Enter when adding the task on TickTick, you get the same layout and set of options as Todoist. 4:45 I don't know why Tags is not showing on your side but I can definitely add tags in TickTick using the menu same as Todoist. 5:40 Once the task is added and tag is created, it shows the upper case letters. And the next time you enter the same tag when adding a task, it shows the upper case letters. 11:25 You can add a section to the Inbox. Maybe this was rolled out later since this video is 8 months old.
I agree that they’re both great, and I’ve been testing them side by side. After moving from Evernote, I’ve been using Todoist for 3 months. For me, I like it better in how it displays lists, the AI filter creator, and they’re rapidly developing it. TickTick doesn’t seem like it’s being improved as fast. With that said, it’s ahead of Todoist with its extra features that I’m hoping Todoist adds some of soon.
Great vid! I use TickTick mainly due to the fact that Todoist doesn’t allow me to list time like “2pm-3pm” so I have to either manually set it or write “for 1h,” and also the calendar is better.
Great review! I loved the side-by-side comparison, though I wish you could do a phone App comparison, as that would make it more accessible, and phone Apps function a bit differently. --- Personally, I prefer the TickTIck look as well as the habit tracker, though Todoiest has a better-detailed input method on the tasks page, as you described.
you are completly right ... ; but don´t forget the calendar integration and sync, color-coding, etc. - but mainly it depends on your individual process
Yes, I agree... There are minor things in both systems that are, to me, just little things... But if they are important to you, then that's a reason to pick one app over the other.
Thanks for the comment!! You might be right, although I think Todoist can do a lot of the things you mentioned. But, even if it can't, they are still minor things, in my opinion. 🤠👍
Thank you for this brother. I’ve been a massive fan of Todoist since the early days and I still love it but there is one super handy tool I wish Todoist would implement (& you already said that their calendar is on early stage so no doubt they will add this): The power to be able to STACK (aka sub folder or folders) on top of each other and by SIMPLY CLICKING or VIEWING on the parent Folder you can see all the other folders which has DATES! This is so refreshing to have because one: (1) You have an instant calendar without putting it into the calendar. (2) Whilst remaining in their own SPECIFIC folders for the OCD people like me, meaning having a ONE PLACE to go if I’m only looking at Work or a specific work company sub folder. I hope I’m making sense cos I’m typing this really quick! This along is a game breaker for me! I still love Todoist as it’s super QUICK & still the FASTEST for me when it comes down to SIMPLE INPUT! #Todoist please IMPLEMENT HAHA :)
I went from TickTick to Todoist because the former refused (and still refuses, as far as I can tell) to implement 2FA secure login. I need that, and I don't understand why TT won't implement it. It's security 101 these days. Functionality otherwise is basically the same.
You have to know that, when you create a new Task in Tick Tick. So this means, you can have exactly the same userfriendly view like Todoist by editing the input box settings, which you can find when you klick the button arrow on right side. Thank me later :)..
The only 'show details' I know of is in the List View itself... and basically just shows the first line or so of the task description on the list view. I do have it turned off.
I'm trying both on Android, and I need to have many recurring tasks. It annoys me that the only way to do this on Todoist is by using natural language processing only.
Biggest issue with Todoist is that I can't organize my tasks across a single calendar. Each week I need to prioritize all my work across multiple work and personal projects. It makes this process too cumbersome.
I realize that no amount of logic or comparison will sway me - I like the square-ish checkboxes rather than the circles, and I like to say “TickTick” like another commenter said, so it’s TickTick for life for me! (But I wish there were more integrations 😭)
The one thing that made me leave Todoist for TickTick is that in Todoist you need to add a comment in order to add an attachment which is mind boggling. This is a #1 priority for me, so move my team to TickTick. Great comparison.. Thank you
Do you use the Eisenhower matrix? It seems interesting but I have yet to use it. Also, how do you structure ticktick and your calendar? I get frustrated having to go back and forth between Google Calendar & Ticktick on my iPhone. This is much easier on my laptop obviously. What’re your thoughts?
Hey there, I personally don't use the Eisenhower Matrix or the Calendar in TickTick. At least not as part of my core workflow. I mostly just use the task management functionality.
In my opinion, I think both Ticktick and Todoist are great todo list apps. Just pick your poison and sun with it. I started of with Todoist for three years then moved to Ticktick this year because I had sync issues with the former.

Great video Joshua, I feel like TickTick can be more personalized. Menu orders, colors, smart lists, color and appearance...

TickTick already has that functionality and for me personally it works great! Definitely something Todoist should implement in the future!
Good review, it was the most helpful comparing the two task management programs.
"The age old question" - funny Joshua....
Ha ha! Well, at least it seems that way, anyway...
I went from TickTick to Todoist because the former refused (and still refuses, as far as I can tell) to implement 2FA secure login. I need that, and I don't understand why TT won't implement it. It's security 101 these days. Functionality otherwise is basically the same.
That's a very valid point.

I really love TickTick and will continue to use it. I don't think that ToDoist is that much better in terms of appearance either. Great video!
Thanks for sharing!
What keyboard do you use? That typing sound is so ASMR...
I use the Keychron K2. 😀
Do you have " show details " turned off in your ticktick lists? Normally it displays as much info as todoist does for a task?
The only 'show details' I know of is in the List View itself... and basically just shows the first line or so of the task description on the list view. I do have it turned off.

Thanks for pointing this out! So are you saying that you can't "subscribe" to a 3rd party calendar like Google Calendar or Outlook in Todoist?
Google Calendar integration is coming soon. That’s a major feature I’m waiting for.
@@Trimalchio12Todoist already has google calendar integration
@@Trimalchio12Todoist has a 2-way sync with google calendar. Which other integration do you mean?
Great video! I like Todoist better!
What about To-do list, it has double the downloads of Ticktick but has out scored it only by .1
I realize that no amount of logic or comparison will sway me - I like the square-ish checkboxes rather than the circles, and I like to say “TickTick” like another commenter said, so it’s TickTick for life for me! (But I wish there were more integrations 😭)
In my opinion, both need to improve their UI. The design should be much simpler that it is now.
Let me add the most important argument: "TickTick" is more fun to say. 😄
100% agree!
The one thing that made me leave Todoist for TickTick is that in Todoist you need to add a comment in order to add an attachment which is mind boggling. This is a #1 priority for me, so move my team to TickTick.
Great comparison.. Thank you
TickTick needs a makeover to make it more modern. It's a little outdated. But you can see your calendar inside TT which Todoist is overdue to get.
thank you very nice comparison

I agree... I think it's important to stick with an app to learn it well so it can really become part of your overall workflow.
Hmm, personally I think that TickTick looks better and cleaner.
Yeah, in all honesty, they aren't much different in how they look. 👍
what about free plans comparison?
You didn't go over any of the unique features of either?
@ticktick should watch this and implement a better task view asap
I'm screaming at the screen here "YOU CAN DRAG THE WIDNOWS TO THE TOP BAR AND ALIGN THEM PERFECTLY NEXT TO EACH OTHER" .. sorry, not sorry :)
Ha, I do understand your frustration. 🤙
@@JoshuaBest Wait till you try Windows key + Ctrl + Right Arrow to jump between desktops.
Work on one and music/RUclips on another, it really amps up the focus by keeping them separated.
As a cheapskate, tick tick's free version has fewer restrictions.
