Finding a project management app under $10 per person is harder than it should be. ClickUp charges $12/month per user. Monday.com wants $16/month. Asana demands $13.49/month. Meanwhile, TaskLoco Premium delivers unlimited tasks, reminders, file attachments, and team sharing for $9.99/month per person.
The pricing gap gets worse when you factor in hidden costs. Many competitors charge extra for storage, advanced features, or force you into annual contracts. TaskLoco includes 10GB file storage, works month-to-month, and offers charter members 50% off for life.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.

Why Most Project Management Apps Cost So Much
Enterprise-focused apps like Monday.com and ClickUp build features most teams never use, then charge everyone for the bloat. You get Gantt charts, custom fields, automation workflows, and API integrations — whether you need them or not.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach. It focuses on core productivity: tasks, notes, reminders, file attachments, and team sharing. No enterprise complexity. No unused features driving up costs.
The pricing difference compounds quickly. A 10-person team pays $1,440/year for ClickUp versus $1,200/year for TaskLoco Premium — saving $240 annually while getting everything most teams actually need.
What You Get for Under $10 with TaskLoco
TaskLoco Premium includes unlimited tasks, notes, reminders, 10GB file storage, calendar view, and team sharing. Each person needs their own subscription, but there are no seat minimums or enterprise tiers.
The mobile apps work offline (Lite version) or sync across all devices (Plus+ and Premium). The Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click. File attachments support images, PDFs, documents — anything under 10GB total.
Compare this to Notion ($16/month per user), which charges extra for advanced features, or Airtable ($24/month per user) with complex database functionality most teams don't need.
Free Options That Actually Work
TaskLoco offers two genuinely useful free tiers. Lite works completely offline with 20 notes stored locally on your device — no account required. Lite Plus+ syncs 30 notes across all devices with Google sign-in.
Most competitors offer limited free plans designed to push you toward paid tiers. Asana caps free plans at 15 team members with basic features only. ClickUp's free tier removes advanced features and limits storage.
The Chrome extension works free with any tier, letting you capture web pages directly into your notes. This alone replaces paid tools like Pocket or Instapaper.
When to Consider More Expensive Alternatives
TaskLoco works best for task management, note-taking, and file organization. If you need Gantt charts, project dependencies, or timeline views, look at ClickUp or Monday.com instead.
Enterprise teams requiring SSO, compliance certifications, or extensive API integrations should Business ($24.99/month per user) or similar enterprise-focused tools.
For natural language task creation or complex automation workflows, tools like Motion ($34/month per user) or Reclaim.ai might justify their higher costs. TaskLoco keeps things simple and affordable.
