Todoist vs. TickTick: Which To-Do App Fits a Small Business?

Todoist has a team plan; TickTick is cheaper for one person but lists no team plan.

Todoist and TickTick both keep your tasks, reminders and projects in one place. The big difference is who they serve: Todoist sells a Business plan for teams, while TickTick's pricing page lists only Free and Premium for individuals.

Our take

Pick Todoist if more than one person needs to share projects, since it is the only one here with a team plan. Pick TickTick if you work alone and want the lowest yearly price with AI tools included. Try each free plan for a week before paying.
