Google Calendar vs. TickTick

I think it's appropriate for everyone that meets with customers, meets with people within their businesses. I even put my personal calendar on my work calendar. I'm just looking at it every day, so I think everyone could use it.

TickTick works well for personal use - managing daily and/or recurring to do's through a variety of lists. These can be renamed as needed. This has contributed to an increase in the completion of projects for me. TickTick also works well for collaboration on a list by list basis. Say that I have a project at work that I need to work with a teammate on - I can create the list and share it with my teammate. From there we can tag-team the project. There is the option for adding to-do lists inside of a top-level list and areas for commenting by the collaborators. This allows us to bypass unneeded meetings or emails to remember what needs to be done next on the project. TickTick may be less suited for situations where photos or files need to be shared for a project or for more complex project management.

• The booking page is really helpful for external people who want to chat with me, but so few people use it, that it makes it more frustrating. The solution exists but nobody is using it. It needs to be highlighted more
• You have to switch between email accounts or set up additional calendars to schedule work events vs personal events
• integrations with other calendars don't update quickly, so sometimes a coworkers vacation doesn't show up in the calendar until much later

• 2 way sync integration with Google Calendar.
• Sync with Apple Calendar and Reminders.
• Natural language processing.
• AI enabled quick task creation, suggestions and segregation.
• AI suggested segregation of tasks.

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.

The platform itself is pretty user friendly even if you don't have a technical background. You can easily schedule meetings, block out focus time, update your time off, and add meeting notes. The settings are easily mapped out in terms of functionality and if you need help you can easily search for an answer on Google search

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

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

Google Calendar is a close competitor and I think wins in certain categories like general appearance and enabling focus hours & working hours. However, Microsft 365's calendar just seems like it has been built out more with a focus on business use case (despite still having many grievances with Microsoft 365).

Todoist is almost equivalent to Ticktick; the only thing is that it is a bit more expensive. Todoist does have a few more fancy AI features, which I presume will be helpful moving forward. Google Tasks would have been great had it not been left undeveloped by Google. The fact that it has a great integration with Google Calendar is what I personally desire, but unfortunately, it falls massively short in all other things. The notion is great for overall knowledge management, unlike personal tasks, as it gets slower the more you load it up. Any.do is good, but it doesn't match up with Ticktick or Todoist and is more expensive.
