Any.do vs. Brightpod vs. TickTick

Any.do is best for routine tasks whether personal or professional in nature. It is a simple app that organises your routine. It is not suitable for complex project management. You can streamline your daily routine and plan activities using this app. It will remind you of your tasks so that no task get’s missed.

I like Brightpod. We used their previous product, DeskAway, which we actually liked a bit more for our needs (cannot remember why now as we've found workarounds over the last three years!). It is good for us, and we need to organize multiple task lists for multiple clients. We need to be able to monitor task progression and completion, as well as to track time by resource. We need to prioritize and focus our resources, and we need to review time tracking/performance reports. All possible in Brightpod. We especially like the access we can give to clients, which is on a task list basis, so they can see some task lists in their pod but not others, which allows us to not overwhelm them with unnecessary info, but at the same time, accomplish the detailed tracking we need.

Very well suited: 1. Small organizations and businesses ( 50, I don't think Ticktick is the best tool for that... Ticktick is excellent for keeping oneself accountable and on point with one's task. There should be an inherent sense of ownership from the user because an app can only do so much. It is not well suited for big organizations with more than 50 people, where visibility of stats is required on an admin or higher level. Plus, collaboration will become a lot clunkier as the number of team members increases. Knowledge management will also be an issue.

• The task reminders are in the form of a notification - it would be nice to have an email option.
• All tasks due on the same day/time show up as one notification versus separate - this can be hard to separate as far as task planning goes.

It's working very well for our organization.

So far it accomplishes everything I need it to without unnecessary complications. The only reason I can think that I wouldn't renew is if I was required to use something else.

It is very very intuitive, I have been using the app since it was launched, started using it as a personal reminder, and then also recommended within the organization. The experience is very similar to writing on a pad and then when complete crossing it off. I love it's user experience.

Brightpod is easy to use. We have several levels of users, some are from outside the USA and some are here. We needed something that could be used by programmers, coders, technical project managers, marketing individuals, and administrators. We get a thumbs up from all these user types. The system is hardly ever down, so we are able to use 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

It is super simple in its set up and easy to learn to use. Many other apps are overly complicated which TickTick is not. It always depende on what features you are looking for but I did not even need to explain anything to those who struggle with newer technology

I haven't had to reach out to support with Any.do, but I suspect that they're helpful and prompt with their responses.

Customer Support was fast and helpful.

In all honesty, we have never needed to reach out to TickTick for support.

SaaS is the way forward :)

Any.do has a key selling point for me and is the AI integration to read through your tasks and suggest calendar events, also user interface in the mobile app is quite friendly and comfortable for users. I like that it has a different option for grocery lists, it helps me integrate work with personal life.

Brightpod was definitely the most attractive and we felt like it had the least amount of clutter. We hated how Wrike handled recurring tasks. ActiveCollab just seemed to have some complexity that we didn't need. The Brightpod developers are very responsive and were able to fix bugs quickly.

TickTick has a better UI and UX compared to the other competitors, and the Quick Add feature from any window is a must for inbox task management!
