Google Tasks is much more lightweight and better for personal task management, which other software like ClickUp is too overbearing and clunky for. However, software like ClickUp is far better for managing tasks for multiple team members.

We have not considered any other platforms related to the G Suite. We have been impressed by the capabilities and accessibility of Google Tasks and recommend it to all of our team members. Unlike other task platforms, Google Tasks is made for the most efficient worker who wants to make the most of their day!

I used other tools like Microsoft Planner in the past, but Google Tasks sync with mailbox makes things easier and saves me a lot of time. It is also helpful to track your colleagues' tasks and to give them help when needed, helping them to complete their assignments in a timely manner.

Have used other task management tools like Microsoft Planner but Google Tasks auto-sync with other Google platforms makes it more comfortable/reliable and saves the user time. However for quick attention tasks/ to do we have still a dependency on tools like sticky notes which is always stick on your screen and easy to use.

  • TickTick and Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager
We switched from Google Tasks to Todoist as we like the layout and the functions more, even though we still use all the other Google programs. Nothing particularly bad but we enjoy Todoist more for our purposes. Google Tasks is even more simple to use than Todoist and has different layout options.

I will give a edge to Google task as being more compatible and easy because of free tool with reupdated image in the market. The Microsoft Planner will come with little cost. Google task will help you to create multiple lists, change the order of tasks and sort your to-do-lists.

It's better than Keep notes in some areas but worse in others. Mostly just this: you can search. It's very simple but that keeps you from getting bogged down in setting up the app, or procrastinating further by messing around with your to do list app. It has all the features and functionality you need and looks nice and clean.

  • Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager
Google Tasks offers more powerful features that simplifies our day to day planning activities. Its seamless integration with G-Suite to enhance task management is uniquely great for us.

Google Tasks is not necessarily better than its competitors and certainly not as robust or complex as most to-do applications and platforms available in the market, but because it is automatically integrated into G Suite services--our primary technology interface--this free option has precluded us from needing to explore other tools that are often "better" but not as intuitive when so much time and focus is already spent within the Google ecosystem.

  • Yext Search Experience Cloud
Saving time and energy when it comes to be[ing] organized is one of the most important things to me when reviewing my work day. I like to start each day with what needs to be completed and what is the most time sensitive, and then I rank them by importance and time sensitivity. Google Tasks has been a slam dunk for me as it integrates across my Google suite of apps (calendar and email) and enables me to keep all my lists and tasks in one organized place.

  • Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager
Initially I used Google Tasks because it was included in my Google Workspace subscription, and I thought it would be convenient to have a first-party solution that is tightly integrated with both Gmail and Google Calendar. However, I quickly wanted more robust features with greater flexibility for GTD and GTD-like task management workflows.

Tasks is an extremely slimmed-down version of something like Teamwork. The similarities stop at having checkboxes and deadlines. The benefit of tasks is it's included in your normal Google subscription at no additional cost. With that comes way less functionality, but that's expected since Teamwork is designed as a full project and task management solution. Overall for tracking simple things day to day, Tasks works just fine.

  • Todoist: To-Do List & Task Manager and Any.do
Almost all of the to-do apps try to have a "must have" feature that will draw users to it. For some it is the graphical interface and some had a unique feature that lasted a few months before competition caught on.
For us, too much complexity is actually a bad thing and Google Tasks has the right amount of simplicity that we need: the ability to create tasks easily and in a flexible way, and an easy way to cross off/manage the tasks.

  • Microsoft To Do (formerly Wunderlist)
Google Tasks stand a little below the Microsoft To Do app, but stands well in terms of simplicity.

Here are the strong points of Google Tasks-
1. It's simplicity.
2. It's deep integration with other Google services.
3. Ease of usability.
4. Better NLP(Natural Language Processing)
4. Small size and low impact on performance.

Here are strong points of Microsoft To-Do in comparison to the Google Tasks-
1. It's also free and provides more features.
2. It has a desktop app available in Microsoft Store.
3. It has better management of sub-tasks.
4. It is also deeply integrated with Microsoft apps like Outlook and Calendar.
