hello folks and welcome back to another key productive video today we'll be exploring
microsoft to do versus things versus task aid now for this video we've partnered with leading
software comparisons site captera to help you make more informed decisions on what software
you go with you can use capterra's wide variety of insights and reviews to help you improve your
decision making it is fantastic to have them on as a partner and in today's video i'm bringing
together my own knowledge to review these applications so let's dive in now all of these
applications are handy for being to organize your to-do's and maybe even a little bit of project
management flown in there so let's get started so let's begin with availability now first off
microsoft to do is available on all devices and so is task aid which makes them pretty
accessible the only outlier here is things three and it's made solely for apple which means it's
only available on mac and ios now when you look at pricing these applications vary in pricing but
you're going to get microsoft to do for free with a microsoft account but do remember if you're part
of a university or work program you'll be able to get that alongside all of the other applications
so if you look at things three they have three pricing options 49.99 for the mac version 1999
for the ipad version and 9.99 for the iphone version and those are all individual one-off
costs so you won't be paying a subscription fee and as you go forward now if you look at task aid
it does have a very generous free plan but it also has five dollars per user per month for those who
really exploring some of the team elements of this application which i think is fairly reasonable
so when it comes to features microsoft to do is more of a personal to-do list application it
does have some great themes for customizing the way you want things to look and what i'd say is
it's very good for a work situation to be able to share those smaller to-do's inside of a small team
and also good for the social situations even perfect for students they're looking to
organize what tasks need to be done inside of the house to keep it clean on a regular basis
but you've got great lists inside of this application and a feature called my day
which is perfect for planning your day ahead and really simple in terms of its experience when
you look at this compared to things three things three is definitely the more advanced experience
with a more personal to-do list application with no ability to share with other people but you do
get a great way to connect your apple calendar to it and also you can plan projects inside this
which is great for those who are maybe freelancers or entrepreneurs or solo users now if you look at
task aid it does have some great personal plan but it's really designed for small teams and
it's got some great views you've got mind mapping kanban and lots more and you can even take notes
alongside it which prompts you to for example use templates to be able to use for journaling and a
lot of people like having that flexible layout to be able to add both tasks and notes together
so who are these best recommended for i'd say microsoft to do is really perfect for those who
like the microsoft ecosystem maybe who have a university and work account and want to be
able to bring together their tasks but this is a really simple to-do list application that is going
to take you perfect experience for just planning a day or maybe even a short list of tasks to do
when you look at it against things three i'd say things through is much more perfect for those
who are minimal uh those who are ios and apple lovers mac users and those who want to use it for
themselves it's got a little bit of a price to it but at the same time it's a gorgeous experience i
always called it world's best designed to do this application and things three definitely takes the
punch for that one so finally let's look at task aid task 8 is really best for small teams it's
got some great collaboration features where you can collaborate in real time and even do a few
video meetings so it's actually quite helpful to be able to work together with other people
and it's also good for visualizing your thoughts using a range of different views so i would say if
you're leaning towards this application i would definitely use it in a small team if you have
one because it really takes advantage of all the functions so folks i hope you enjoyed this review
of these applications you can check out capterra below and also it has a great insight in terms
of reviews so you can put these head to head and give it a real go in in getting as much insight
as possible before making that decision so folks a big thank you i hope you found this video helpful
