So are you looking at to duyst and maybe a little curious about whether to do is free is worth it
Or maybe you're looking to recommend it to someone and they don't necessarily have the money to upgrade in today's video
We're gonna take a look at the todoist plans
we're gonna be specifically focusing in on the free plan giving you all you need to know and
I guess a little bit of a valley new overview to see whether it's actually worth downloading
And utilizing in the free version. Maybe it'll give you a bit of an idea about the application and there at the end
We'll also compare it to
Applications like ticktick, which also have a free plan and which gives you an idea of what the two?
comparisons of these two major to do this applications look like
So let's start with the three todoist plans. There are three to do as plans
The first is to do is free which is of course no money per month to do is premium
Which is priced at $3.00 per month per user and that is billed annually, which rounds up to
$36 per year you also have business which is a little bit more expensive but is more tailored towards business
customers with the teaming box and also some additional
Administration abilities we won't be focusing too much on that today
Now some of the main features of the free account are up to five people
Allowing up to five people per project in your workspace and up to 80
projects in total being active inside of your todoist account now inside of the premium you do get
300 projects which is definitely much more yet two hundred and twenty
additional projects to be able to manage and you'll also get an additional 20 people per
Project if you wanted to invite them along, so let's take a look at the free version
I actually started up a new account because I'm actually a premium user
So take that in mind, maybe a slight bias towards the application, but I'll explain a little later in this video
so looking at the free version the first pros are the priorities so you do still get access to
Adding priorities you can add P 1 P 2 P 3 and still be able to add that you can also add
recurring items which is very handy if you have
routine items for example this one like pay off credit card and
You can also set that to any of the intelligent input days, for example
Let's say you wanted at every 15th of the month
you can just type in every 15th and
It will automatically detect that the same goes to if you were quickly typing in tomorrow at 3:00 p.m
It would also detect that so intelligent input is a freemium feature
One of the other things that the todoist free account offers is integrations
You can connect up with for example Google Calendar and a few other
abilities, especially with other applications
I know apps like toggle and other apps such as this aren't quite good at being able to connect up with
todoist
now, of course the free account it does have certain limitations when it comes to obviously not paying and
Obviously you have the limit of 80
Projects and it definitely will probably cover you
for the first couple of years
In my opinion and up to five people if you're using it on your own you probably won't end up using it
So in a personal their daily use context, you're probably not going to meet those categories there were also no
Limitations to the amount of subtasks that you can add for example here
We get starting adding a few subtasks and it seems to be no problem in the free account with no
limitations to have to worry about
There are some obviously limitations when it comes to features
Reminders is a big one
a lot of people don't like
Actually not having a nudge for example inside of their account when there is a reminder set
You can set reminders through the web or SMS or even through your mobile which give you none cheers about your application
Now you also get the ability to upload comments and file upload when you're in premium
So that's something that if you commonly do maybe add notes
Or even be able to add files to a certain task
That's something that you're gonna miss out on
one of the other big things that a lot of people upgrade to to do this premium is
Labels and filters and you don't get that inside of your to do as free account. You can for example write at
finance next to something
But it won't be able to detect it and won't be able to filter inside of labels
Now a few things to clear up there are some pre created filters in there for you
So for example if you did want to you know
Get started with a few filters that they provide then that's awesome because they've got a few there
But if you look to go and create some then that's where you're not allowed to do it and the same goes with labels you
Won't be able to get access to that left-hand panel
One of the things I do like about to do is free is that yeah. It's actually from the old days
It doesn't actually give you that sort of bar at the top. This is to do is free sort of annoying new
I actually haven't seen that since using it in the last sort of hour
Which is good and they normally pop up in the first hour pushing you towards premium
I'm sure I'll get an email in a week or so. But at the same time it's not as aggressive as it once was
So there are a few other things for example
Inside of the free account you can't set up the productivity trends which I believe is the Karma base point so you can't actually see
Your graphics which come out there?
You also won't be able to access the premium themes, which is something a lot of people like to do
You can't also access backups
Which is actually an option that appears in the settings page which is ideal for people who want to absorb
Backups of their todoist account there is also the inability to add tasks via email
This is a premium feature which allows you to email in tasks into a certain project
inside of each project
So if you're someone that likes to create templates and also import and export them you won't be able to do that inside off todoist
free however
You are able to use some of the templates that are pre created by todoist and actually get them imported directly
into your todoist account
So that's handy if you definitely want to skip by that and just utilize some of the template gallery that they have available
So two more things the priority support is not available when you're using the to do is free, for example
If you're looking to get a question answered by the team and you send a support message
Chances are because you want to do is free. It won't be the fastest response
And that's just one of the benefits many applications do this as a way to sort of up the ante
Make the premium a bit more worth the value
You also won't be able to let access your activity list, which I think is very helpful this activity log
And she'd ranks the complete two tasks you deferred tasks
Your updated tasks uncompleted tasks per project per person
Which is all very useful and something that I particularly been using the last few weeks
Okay, let's compare this to a very big application that challenges todoist
Which is called tip tick now first off tick ticks premium is a little bit cheaper it is
$27
99% Li if you want to make it a little bit cheaper, I guess in the short term now as you can imagine
Tick tick is challenging to do it into some extent without pricing
but they do have a few limitations when it comes to their free experience and
They sort of resigned around the limitations. You have per less per task, etc
So for example only allowed up to nine lists
which like to do is free eighty versus nine nine seems extremely small and
Within that list you only out allowed apt to add up to nineteen nine tasks
which I can imagine per project is a really big thing to worry about because obviously
You might be able to hit that and capture that quite fast
so again
Ninety nine tasks per list seems a little bit small and tedious doesn't actually have a limitation to how many tasks you can add
Per project with those eighty projects in the free account
Looking at their some tasks as well. You only allow nineteen per task
So I feel like once you get everything set up and tick tick if you're using the free account and just don't want to go
Past that and you sort of have twenty-five subtasks per task
So you want to break it down?
That's gonna be a sort of limitation for you because obviously gonna get the premium messages all the time
So looking at a few more metrics you do get reminders per task yet two per task, which is pretty good
So you do get the reminders ability
which a lot of people like to have especially when they're looking to get themselves nudged about a
Task that's coming up
And you do get one attachment per day
which is fairly reasonable you do don't miss out on the
Members per list you get two members per list
So you do also only get one two plans per week
And that's a feature that is unlimited and signed a premium. Now, they're premium obviously does unlock more. You can have ninety nine less
999
tasks and 199 subtasks five reminders per task ninety nine attachments
nineteen members per list and also unlimited plans per week, which is fairly good and what I would say
Is that the ticktick premium definitely unlocks more?
than what to duyst has in my opinion you get calendar view and you also get the Kanban boards you get per
Device like features. So for example, like the Android devices got the Pomodoro timer
You also got habit tracker as well
so there are some abilities that you do get above to do it in my opinion the premium themes or
A lot better in the application you do yet. For example a few more features like duration
And custom smart list, which is essentially filters in todoist
So looking back at this I would say that the to do is free account is a lot better than the tick tick free account
it's
Definitely more like less limiting
for example
like you don't necessarily have to worry too much about like how many tasks you're adding how many subtasks and
There are some really basic
features that are available inside it to do is free which
Make it a lot easier to be able to use it for a longer period of time say you're betting in four
Maybe six to twelve months in light use you're probably going to be able to use to do is free a lot more
The sort of Bugaboo that a lot of people don't like is that it doesn't have reminders and tick tick free would have reminders
But again, it's really dependent on what type of person you are now
I actually don't use the labels of filters as much as I do these days
and I actually don't use the comments and farm upload that I do these days as well and that's mainly because
I have moved more of my tasks to some tasks, which I'll probably do a feature on later in the year
And I also don't use reminders. So my work tends to fit more to do list free
but again, I like to support the application and I also
still use the labels in light use I use the project trends as well as premium themes Auto backups and
Occasionally the project templates and definitely recently the activity log which makes it a lot better for me
So guys that was just a short overview of whether todoist free is worth it as you can imagine
It's really dependent on your experience
but again
I'd recommend this I'd always recommend to newest free
For someone who's looking to get started with to like a task management application for the first time
especially if you've got a friend that doesn't want to be sort of thrown into the deep end or maybe
Overly pushed into an aggressive task management strategy you want to use them in I always recommend to do as free
As a great way to get started, so guys, hopefully I was useful
Let me know in the comments what you think about to do is free is worth it
Is it decent but as you can imagine I definitely think it is and obviously premiums worth it, too
So hopefully today gave you a good overview again. I have a slight bias to me to do this user
But again looking at like a guess trying looking at it like that
It makes it a lot sort of easier to sort of manage and I did definitely spend a bit of time thinking about it, too
Anyways, thank you so much at mixers to subscribe and I'll talk to you guys very very soon. Cheers everybody
