Per-seat pricing sounds fair until your team grows. You add three people, your bill doubles, then someone mentions the feature you actually need is locked behind the next tier up. Suddenly you're paying enterprise prices for what should have been a simple shared to-do list. This is not an edge case — it's the business model of most task management tools on the market.
There's a different way to think about this. A task app built around simplicity — sticky notes, shared boards, reminders that push straight to your phone, and file attachments — doesn't need six pricing tiers to be useful. It just needs to work for whoever's on your team, at a price that doesn't punish growth. This page breaks down what actually matters when picking a shared task tool, then makes the case for why TaskLoco is the right pick for teams that want power without the complexity tax.
What to look for in a shared task tool
Before any product enters the picture, it helps to agree on what a shared task tool actually needs to do. Strip away the marketing and you're looking for three things.
1. Sharing that actually works. Not "share a read-only link" or "request edit access" — real sharing where the person receiving the task can own it, modify it, and act on it without jumping through permission hoops. The best tools treat shared tasks like emails: you send it, they get it, it's theirs to manage on their end.
2. Reminders that follow the task. A task without a reminder is just a wish. The reminder should be attached to the note or task itself, not bolted on as a separate workflow in a different part of the app. And it should reach you where you actually are — on your phone or computer — not buried in an email digest you check twice a week.
3. Pricing that doesn't punish collaboration. Per-seat tools can work well, but the key question is whether the pricing is transparent and whether the features you need are available at the tier your team can actually afford. Hidden tiers, seat minimums, and "contact sales" buttons are red flags. Look for tools where the full feature set is available at the standard price, with no surprises as you add people.
How TaskLoco handles team sharing
TaskLoco's sharing model is the cleanest part of the product. When you share a note with a teammate, they receive it the way you'd receive an email — it arrives in their TaskLoco, they can clone it and make it their own, edit it, attach files, set their own reminder on it, and manage it independently. There are no permission levels to configure, no "can view" versus "can edit" toggles, no access request workflows. You share it, they have it.
This matters more than it sounds. Most team task tools route shared tasks through a central project board, which means everyone is looking at the same object. That creates coordination overhead — who's actually responsible for this? Did they see it? Can I move it without messing up their view? TaskLoco sidesteps this entirely. The shared note is the handoff. Once received, it belongs to that person.
Real-time sync keeps everyone's boards up to date across devices. Changes appear without manual refresh. If you're working from your browser on a shared note and a teammate updates it, you see it.
Team sharing is a Premium feature. The free tiers — Lite and Lite Plus+ — are designed for individual use. Lite is a native iPhone and Android app with no sign-in and up to 20 notes stored only on your device. Lite Plus+ is the web app with Google sign-in, up to 30 synced notes, and the Chrome extension for capturing webpages in one click. Neither has sharing, reminders, or file attachments. If your goal is team collaboration, Premium is where that lives.
Reminders, attachments, and the features that make shared tasks actually useful
Sharing a task is only half the job. The task also needs to surface at the right moment, and it needs to carry the context required to act on it. TaskLoco Premium handles both.
Reminders in TaskLoco are delivered as push notifications — to your phone and your computer. When the reminder fires, it deep-links directly back to the original note. You're not hunting through a list trying to remember which task the notification was about. You tap it, you're there. Optional email notification is available as an additional channel, and SMS is an optional add-on if you want it.
File attachments mean the task and the context live in the same place. Every Premium account includes 10GB of file storage, with stackable add-on tiers (10GB / 50GB / 200GB / 1TB) if your team works with large files. Attach a brief, a screenshot, a PDF, a spreadsheet — whatever the person receiving the task needs to actually complete it. No more "see the file I sent separately in email."
Calendar view gives you a timeline across all your notes and tasks. For teams juggling multiple deadlines, being able to flip from board view to calendar view without switching apps is a genuine time-saver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does TaskLoco really let you share tasks with your team?
Yes — TaskLoco Premium includes full team sharing. When you share a note or task with a teammate, it works like email: they receive it, can clone it, and manage it as their own. No permissions to configure, no access levels to set. Each team member needs their own Premium subscription.
Do I need to pay for every team member separately?
Yes — each person needs their own subscription. There's no single subscription that covers a whole team. But every Premium subscription is the complete product: unlimited notes, 10GB storage, reminders, calendar view, and full team sharing. No one is getting a limited seat on someone else's account.
What is the charter offer and how does it work?
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
How do reminders work when tasks are shared?
Reminders in TaskLoco Premium are delivered as push notifications to your phone and computer. The key feature is that each notification deep-links directly back to the original note — so you tap the reminder and you're immediately looking at the task, not searching for it. Optional email notification and an SMS add-on are also available.
What's the difference between TaskLoco Lite, Lite Plus+, and Premium?
TaskLoco Lite is a native iPhone and Android app — completely anonymous, no sign-in required, stores up to 20 notes on your device only, no sync, no sharing, no reminders. TaskLoco Lite Plus+ is the web app and Chrome extension — free, sign in with Google, up to 30 notes synced across all your devices, one-click webpage capture. TaskLoco Premium is the full product: unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders with push notifications, calendar view, and team sharing. Lite Plus+ and Premium are not native apps — they run in your browser on mobile.
Can I try TaskLoco Premium before committing?
Yes — every Premium subscription includes a 7-day free trial. You won't be charged until day 8, and you can cancel anytime before then. The charter offer applies from day one, so if you cancel before the trial ends, there's no charge.
What are the honest reasons to pick a different tool instead of TaskLoco?
TaskLoco is the right pick for teams that need straightforward task sharing, reminders, file attachments, and a clean calendar view. If your workflow requires Gantt charts, complex project dependencies, enterprise SSO, compliance certifications, extensive API integrations, or natural language task input, you'll want to look at tools built specifically around those use cases. TaskLoco doesn't try to be everything — it's focused on being the best sticky-note-centered productivity tool for people who want power without complexity.
