Overview
TickTick is a personal and small-team task manager from Appest. Its core is a task list with natural-language date entry, subtasks, tags, priorities, recurring tasks, smart filtered lists and multiple reminders. It also includes a calendar that shows tasks next to synced events and lets you drag tasks into time blocks, a built-in Pomodoro timer with focus statistics, and a habit tracker with streaks. Apps cover iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, web, Apple Watch and browser extensions, and sync between devices is fast. Pricing has two tiers. The free plan allows 9 lists with 99 tasks each and includes list and Kanban views, reminders and sync. Premium is sold annually. TickTick's own upgrade page currently lists it at US$49.99 a year, although older third-party reviews quote lower prices of $27.99 and $35.99. Premium raises the limits to 299 lists with 999 tasks each, unlocks calendar views, task duration, email reminders, AI features, themes and more attachments, and lets you share lists with roughly 29 to 30 members. There is no separate team or business plan, so each collaborator needs their own Premium subscription. Integrations are limited. The main ones are two-way Google Calendar sync, Outlook and Apple calendar subscriptions, Siri, and turning emails into tasks. Reviewers note far fewer third-party connections than Todoist or ClickUp. The biggest limitation for business buyers is depth. TickTick has no Gantt charts, dependencies, workload views, automations, team dashboards or cross-project reporting. Reviewers recommend it mostly for individuals or teams of up to about four people.
Our Rating
Who TickTick is best for
Good fit
Tasks, calendar time-blocking and a focus timer for one person, at a low annual price.
Less suited
Shared lists with assignees and comments work for very small teams, but there is no team plan or admin layer.
Reviewers suggest it only for teams of 2 to 4 people because it has no automations or reporting.
There are no role-based permissions, admin controls or cross-project reporting.
