Nifty vs Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager

Likelihood to Recommend

I've found myself recommending Nifty to other business owners as well as for personal use. I've personally found it to be invaluable when it comes to:

Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly recurring tasks
Creating templates for company processes such as new product creation, marketing strategy, on-boarding, quarterly goals, content management
Having forms zapped into a new task from multiple locations ensuring they're never overlooked
Having clear milestones and timelines for projects
Communicating on projects, tasks, and just in general
Assigning different components of projects to different people
Creating prior requirements that must be completed before completing the task

We do believe that for larger companies tools with more functions would probably be more helpful. But, if you are looking to share information quickly and easily without sending multiple emails and then repeating steps to organize those to dos on both sides, then Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager is the right tool for you.

It is not possible to edit time logs because there are no comment sections in time logs.
I just want to see more templates added.

The Todoist application now works almost identically across all platforms. There is a minor improvement that I would like to see on iOS and that is the ability to show task count by custom filter.
In Board view, I want to be able to easily add sub-tasks to a parent task.
Besides those two minor improvements, I am extremely happy with the application.

Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager 9.3

Based on 8 answers

Excellent features and concept, simple implementation, but the software is not very clear in training new users and communicating features. The occasional unexplained crash or freeze is not handled gracefully by the desktop software, requiring either the user or tech support to manually restart.

Based on 65 answers

I've used Todoist for about three years now and I haven't needed to contact support, which I'm considering a 10 out of 10. Honestly, their platform is so easy to use that I never had to look up a knowledge base or forum to be able to do what I wanted in Todoist. So I'm not sure what their support system looks like or how it works, but I do know that if I haven't needed support, that's also a good sign!

There's no comparison. Nifty does what all of these do all in one place (with the exception of Slack's community aspect with hashtagging - not sure if Nifty can do this, never tried)Nifty even has the ability to import directly from many other platforms - I've personally imported projects from Trello and Asana, saving tons of time in migration.

There are so many task managers out there that it comes down to business needs and user preference. I selected Todoist because, for our particular business setup, it checked all the boxes. It's flexible, it's not limited to one ecosystem, and the price is exceptional. It can be integrated with things like Microsoft Outlook as well, which is a huge help when people are tied into that but don't find value in Microsoft To Do.

Its scheduling features are very helpful in project management.
I don’t like its mobile application and needs a lot of improvement.
There should be a dashboard for the analytics.

Todoist has helped us stay on top of important deliverables after meetings, leading us to hit our deadlines on a more timely basis using the deadline and priority features while on our laptops and phones during calls.
Todoist allows me to quickly assign others on my team a task, so that we are able to speak, comment, and complete things more collaboratively, thus letting us fall behind less often on important customer objectives.
Todoist helps me quickly re-sort my priority lists and deadlines based on new information, requests, and customer updates on a daily basis, which helps me save manual time doing so on other software or paper-based products, and saves me several minutes every day in my work.
