    Chose Todoist
    I really disliked Wunderlist, Trello was great for project management, but not so great for whole life, quick and easy task management, and Evernote served me well enough...except it's really not built for task management either and not having the option of setting up recurring …

    Chose Todoist
    I switched to Todoist from GTasks, an android app which integrates with Google Tasks. Sync was sometimes sketchy and was only available on Android. I like that Todoist two-way sync is stable and that I can access my task list from almost any device (Windows, Android, Chrome).

    Chose Toggl Track
    I don't recall using something so simply automated like Toggl in the past, although I have used more complicated automated timesheets years ago. I chose it when it was recommended by some online tech review, and thought I'd give it a shot. It works really well as a laptop app.

    We had previously used Harvest. It was a good solution too but as soon as we made the move to Toggl, we knew we had made the right choice. It just felt right.

    Chose Toggl Track
    I use Toggl to get an hourly rate for every single task, so I can estimate a current rate and negotiate rates for new clients and projects. I use Toggl concurrently with any other time and task trackers that are required for hourly jobs on freelance hubs, such as Upwork and …

    Todoist
    There have been lots of times when we need to add a new habit into our daily work routines, and having the option to do so in the To-Doist app on the very first screen is incredibly helpful. It's a good reminder, and I believe that professionals who truly appreciate and properly value the implementation of good habits would be very grateful for this feature. It's also a time saver because you don't have to manually type it in every day/week / etc.

    Toggl
    I have been using Toggl for about seven years now, and I absolutely love it. It keeps me on track with the tasks I complete throughout the day. Tracking my time makes me more accountable for the work I produce and how much time my work takes. Having the breakdown of my tasks helps inform decisions on hiring support staff. I can see exactly where my time goes and then formulate a strategy to either bring in more help, delegate work, or re-prioritize. When coupled with other productivity apps (I particularly use ToDoist), you can unlock even more of Toggl's power. Toggl Track isn't so much a checklist tool--it's a time tracker; but when I integrate my to-do app with the time tracking, I can quickly and easily switch between tasks without disrupting workflow.

    Toggl
    • Toggl integrates smoothly across multiple devices. I can seamlessly move from the field on my phone to the office on my computer and utilize Toggl the entire time.
    • It has great customization. Setting up multiple customers in a variety of ways is easy and quick to do. We haven't found something we needed that we couldn't set up.
    • The reporting is clean and informative. Reports can be generated for multiple criteria.

    Cons
    Todoist
    • 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.

    Toggl
    • I am genuinely trying to come up with room for improvement, but I am struggling
    • Toggl is seriously my favorite tool I use as a freelancer, and they offer so much functionality for free - that's why I always write reviews
    • Maybe they could make it a little easier to adjust time tracking mistakes (leaving the timer running too long) -- I have to do several clicks to fix it and I make this error frequently

    Usability
    Todoist
    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.

    Toggl
    Very easy to use, can enter projects and tasks on the fly, can use either a timer or enter hours later manually, the interface is simple and intuitive. Has a mobile app that is also easy to use.

    Support Rating
    Todoist
    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!

    Toggl
    I haven't needed much support from Toggl, as it's mostly come from a small team trying out the tool. I'm not entirely sure what the best way to reach them would be if I did need them. I'm also not sure how responsive they would be to support requests. But I think it's positive that I have not needed them

    Alternatives Considered
    Todoist
    [Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager] is significantly simpler and cheaper than most of the alternatives and doesn't complicate the management of tasks with a plethora of unnecessary features. While all the alternatives have strong feature sets, what Todoist does better than any of them is manage tasks, in theory the central point of them all.

    Toggl
    One year ago I compared it to several tools, trying to use them in parallel. Now I don't remember the exact names of those tools, but Toggl was the best for its simplicity. It is easier to use, with fewer clicks and hence less destruction

    Return on Investment
    Todoist
    • Location-based reminders ensured that my staff didn't miss things when they went onsite with a customer. This has led to renewals on a regular basis.
    • Sharing of task visibility for managers with their direct reports has enhanced 1-on-1 meetings and ensured that field coaches kept focused
    • The cost of Todoist vs. the value it creates is a huge selling point for the software. For the price per user, I've found nothing that even comes close!

    Toggl
    • My timetracking needs are simple, so this is a great tool for me. Start the timer, stop the timer as client work is performed, whether that is uninterrupted time or not.
    • It is very easy to review work time invested for each of my clients, making it easy for me to track my daily time and review monthly hours for preparing invoices.
    • Daily time is automatically aggregated.
    • Each time entry can be tagged with work activity, or projects can be segmented and time assigned to the segments with start and stop times.
