so as you can imagine to-do list applications come in many shapes and sizes but sometimes they get
labels with pricing and as you can imagine it's difficult to differentiate what value you get
inside of each one in today's video i thought i'd rank the best value to do list applications
you can get involved in the comments if you disagree or agree with me but i'm gonna be sharing
them in four different tiers and i'm excited to dive into today's video before we begin if
you haven't checked out my medium list of the year yet it's 50 plus productivity apps recommendations
you can check out in a free article below but if you're interested in subscribing to medium
for my productivity articles then you can check the link below that too so i'm here on tear maker
as you can see i've put it into four categories this category is a non-existent one the the top
one is take my money it's the best value in terms of most features combined into a low pricing or a
good value pricing a decent deal all very good all right and improvement could be needed so
let's start with omnifocus 3 now i am going to put this one in all right the main reason is because
its pricing is is very differentiated compared to other applications it's got two tier pricing
pro standard and pro one at 49.99 and one at 99.99 that's one off so that's a good deal i would say
overall if you're a gtd user especially because you're going to pay 100 bucks and you're going to
get a very specialized experience and a very well built application but that's only per device but
if you wanted to go on the subscription pricing it's 99 per year or 9.99 per month so that's why
i'm putting it in all right it's got quite a lot of sort of pricing there is an alternative that
if you're especially into gtd nirvana hq i always tend to point people towards because the pricing
for their premium and their lifetime is actually very good and it does follow the same principles
although in my opinion omnifocus application is very well built they actually didn't include
nirvana but i should have but as you can imagine another good well-valued alternative to omnifocus
so next up is any do and i'm going to put any do in all right again the main reason behind that
is because the application itself in my opinion doesn't really have as much features as say an
application like todoist or tiktik yet they still charge at their discounted yearly rate
36 dollars which i think is a little bit steep i think if they went for something like
so 29 that would probably be a good sort of sizing in the market however they do have some great
calendar abilities and one thing that they do sort of what they should be praised on is the amount of
devices they're available on especially the smart home devices and some of the chrome extensions
and extensions for other applications and browsers so zenkit to do again i'm going to put
over in improvement it's 48 per year which in my opinion for an application that offers sort of the
same sort of tier experiences as say todoist and and tiktik is much more overpriced and you know if
any do still have their sort of 72 dollar per year pricing i'd probably put it in an improvement well
zen kits are obviously building it into their zenkit suite system so in you know obviously
they're offering something more they do have a good free plan some of these do as well
so just note that but i just think their premium pricing is a little bit too much in my opinion
okay so i'm gonna put moleskine's actions in decent now the reason reason behind this is
whilst it's not necessarily a super advanced to-do list application it does come with an 11.99 per
year pricing which is sort of like i would say a healthy pricing for an application like this
but what's good is you can pay 19.99 if you want access to all three applications flow time page
and moleskin actions so you do get a studio of applications for ios that's the only limitation
really but what i would say is with mole skins is they've developed this application
really well paid attention to animations and gestures and really made the experience
very packed whilst making it still fluid and easy to use okay so tick tick take my money tick
does such a great job of still retaining its 27.99 pricing per year and still packing in an amazing
set of features on an amazing range of devices this application in my opinion is the best value
to do this application on the market just because what it offers is actually an incredible range
of features including the calendar application in premium sort of narrowing down on the week also
some of the habit tracking on android and a couple of other sort of smaller features like not small
features kanban being one of them i just think what they do inside the application to pack it in
is a really good job and i'm still surprised they haven't bumped their pricing to say 32 33 to
compet compete with todoist but still have people up for it and it's it's an application that i
think definitely it deserves that top spot okay so planning i'm going to put in all right planning 6
is like this ios application that very well built however it does have a lot of focus on the sort of
micro gtd experience in my opinion its pricing which is i believe 99 per year let me just check
is all right it is reasonable it's sort of good mid-range pricing it's not to the length of say
todoist or tiktik but it does offer a sort of beefier pricing if you compare it directly to
something like tektek obviously microsoft to do is a free application so i'm going to put it in
pretty decent deal because what you get for the offering is actually a good price although you do
have to buy into some of the microsoft ecosystems and naturally obviously if you've got home or
office then you'll get a different experience with certain sort of integrations and plugins however
i think microsoft to do itself does offer itself a good sort of lineup again google tasks for what
it does i'm going to put it in all right because whilst it is free again obviously it doesn't do
as much as microsoft to do so i can't really put it in the same tier in my opinion for the value
in features so todoist goes in decent deal for me whilst it's 36 dollars per year it does a great
deal for the pricing and it's got lovely design a really well respected team and a philosophy
but in my opinion if you compare it directly to say tiktik whilst there isn't that sort of i don't
think that design focus at tiktik it definitely does uh give you more value for your buck at tick
tick than to do so that's why it's not going in the in the take my money so next up is to do it's
got a a reasonable pricing i think i put it inside of it's 36 dollars per year if you decide to go
with their pricing for skeptic and it does a nice job in terms of a very visual layout on on web but
i think that's what the problem is its limitations are to only sort of desktop at the moment which is
such a shame but it is the application of choice for app that the youtubers like matt diabet
so very interesting so anki flow again these are premium productivity applications i'm
talking about here i'm going to put its pricing in all right the main reason is because it's 15
per month and that is high compared to the others however i think what it does com like bring in in
terms of integrations and consolidation i think it's definitely warranty in that price and one
i'll mention in a minute in terms of compared to motion and santa i think what it does offer
is more value for your money than in comparison with these other tools so i'm going to put it in
all right motion i'm going to put an improvement and some sama i'm going to improvement sunsama
per year if you go for the 16 per month pricing for the yearly plan it's 192 so um
a little bit more twelve dollars more than accuflo but i think for what you get in accuflo you do
get more features and sort of more i i feel like more weightiness in the command prompts
in some of the other stuff in terms of like the calendar integrations feel it's a little
bit stronger just an opinion i'm a user of sunshine so but since armor i feel like
in comparison with those three uh motion priced at 228 dollars per year so much more sort of priced
i'm still yet to fully check it out however in my early opinions of it it does offer a good deal
but it's much more for a heavy improved premium market i think they should take their pricing down
to about 16 per month uh however again i'm not in charge these two are gonna shock you sorted three
bag in there it's gotta i think i mean i've checked the pro pricing i believe it's a
one-off payment of 19 oh no 14.99 for the ios version if you want to go exclusive with ios
and also 24.99 for the mac version if you want to go exclusive with mac so if you're sort of
working out 39.98 so i feel like that fairly fairly reasonable for what you actually get
so you know i i just say that's like take my money it's a really good sort of offering with the
auto scheduling you get and things like that and having a mac and the other version is quite good
same goes with things three things three does such a good job at sort of positioning itself
and market because it's a timeless application like yes you might upgrade to things for and if
they do like things where they do a subscription and they sort of blend whatever pricing you've
got into the new subscription model that might be tougher to understand but in all at this snapshot
in time things three is such a great price application many people think oh my god 18 79.98
up front wow that's an expensive application and it is but if you compare that over say three years
or four years how long you could be traditionally with an application like this that is gonna be
twenty dollars per year which if you compare it to the others you get a minimal minimalist
beautiful personal to do this application that is stunning for the price of say planning or even
20 hours per year much cheaper than todoist if you get two years with todoist that's going
to cost you how much it costs in things three and you've got things free forever on license
so what i think is a one-off pricing on things three is really good take my money states for me
anyway folks i hope you enjoyed today's video let me know in the comments below what you think
as you can imagine so many applications on the market but i thought i'd do a roundup of
what i think is best anyway folks a big thank you make sure to check out the medium article
