Asana vs Todoist
Priced at four team sizes, the features checked against both pricing pages.
Take Asana if you want the one most teams know and growing into portfolios and governance. Take Todoist if you want one person's to-do list, the least to learn and a free plan a small team can run on. Todoist is cheaper at every size we price.
What each one actually costs
The real monthly figure at four team sizes with the add-ons each platform forces on you included, from the same engine the shortlist quiz uses. The cheaper of the two is marked on every row.
| Asana | Todoist | Difference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 users | $0 | $0 | level |
| 3 users | $40.47 | $30 | $10.47 |
| 5 users | $67.45 | $50 | $17.45 |
| 10 users | $134.90 | $100 | $34.90 |
What is actually different
- Asana lists automation rules, dashboards and reporting, docs and notes, intake forms, a timeline or Gantt view, goals and OKRs, a mobile app and time tracking where Todoist does not, which is their own wording rather than something we verified.
No verdict from me yet
I have not used Asana or Todoist on camera, so everything on this page comes from their own pricing pages, re-read weekly, and nothing from my own experience. When I review either, it will be here.
