Superlist feels fun to use with its thoughtful design and satisfying noises, but it's buggy and collaboration is unreliable, while Todoist works reliably for personal tasks and does exactly what you expect.

Only use Superlist if you really care about design quirks, but stick with Todoist if you want something practical that just works.

If you care about design and a delightful personal task experience, Superlist blows Todoist out of the water. The UI feels fresh and satisfying, and even checking off tasks is fun thanks to the little noises and swiggly lines. But if you want something stable and reliable, especially for collaboration or anything beyond solo use, Superlist just isn't there yet. It's buggy, and even basic collaboration can break down, which gets frustrating fast.

Todoist, on the other hand, is steady and does exactly what you expect for personal task management. No surprises, but also no headaches. If you just want to get things done and not worry about glitches or unfinished team features, Todoist is the safer pick.

So if you're after a beautiful, playful solo task app and can tolerate a few bugs, try Superlist. If you want something that just works, especially for personal use, go with Todoist. For collaboration, neither is a home run right now, but Todoist is less likely to leave you annoyed.

Superlist Editor's Verdict

What is Superlist?

Superlist is probably one the of most thoughtful/beautiful personal task managers out there. It has amazing UI/UX interactions. Heck, even marking a task as "complete" and "incomplete" plays the most relaxing noise (and it changes each time!). I was using TickTick for years and I'm seeing Superlist as a great alternative.

I think we're seeing what happens when you get tens of millions of dollars in venture backing and some of the best designers in the world to focus in the UI/UX. I mean heck, just go visit their website, it's incredibly beautiful.

Being able to also take notes and assign tasks to different individuals is also super cool as there aren't really a ton of good personal collaboration tools out there.

What's cool is that with Superlist, you can assign to-dos to one another and due dates, which let's be honest, there are endless personal tasks any married couple needs to collaborate on.

Todoist Editor's Verdict

What is Todoist?

Todoist is one of the longest-standing task management apps (founded in 2007!). You get exactly what you'd expect from Todoist — the ability to create tasks, prioritize them, and organize them with labels. You can view your tasks in a list, kanban view, or calendar view (paid tier).

With the rising popularity of time blocking, Todoist has received immense pressure from it's customers to build a calendar view and allow for task time blocking. That said, time blocking is a secondary feature to Todoist and is quite barebones compared to other daily planners. Many folks integrate Todoist with Sunsama or Akiflow for the full daily planning experience.

If considering Todoist for business, whether you're an individual or a team, there are better task management apps available that will give you more productivity power (e.g. other tools that will allow you to schedule meetings, time block tasks, manage projects, see your workload, and collaborate with team members), so as a heads up, make sure to consider those before diving head first into Todoist for business.
