Notion is genuinely impressive software. It can be a wiki, a database, a project manager, a docs tool, and a spreadsheet — all at once. That is also its problem.
Most people who sign up for Notion spend their first week building their Notion system instead of actually doing work. TaskLoco takes a different philosophy: the app should disappear into the background. Your work stays in front.
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.
Code CHARTER50 auto-applies at checkout. First 500 spots only — once they're gone, this offer is gone permanently. Act fast while spots last.
Every Premium subscription includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar, and team sharing. Each team member requires a separate subscription. 7-day free trial — no charge until day 8. Cancel anytime.

Getting Started
Notion's onboarding asks you to choose a template, configure your workspace, set up your sidebar, and decide on your database structure before you've created a single task. There are YouTube channels dedicated entirely to "setting up Notion the right way."
What You Actually Get With TaskLoco
Every Loco Note can carry a subject, body text, files, images, YouTube videos, links, tags, deadlines, reminders, and calendar events. Mark notes urgent. Batch-update dozens at once. Share to a teammate's inbox. Export everything as JSON or CSV. The Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click without leaving your browser.
Notion can do more — if you're willing to build the architecture to support it. TaskLoco does what most people actually need, immediately, without configuration.
Pricing: Notion vs TaskLoco
Notion's free plan is generous but limited — no version history, limited file uploads, limited API calls. Their Plus plan runs $10/user/month billed annually. A 10-person team pays $100/month minimum.
TaskLoco Premium is $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50). Each team member subscribes individually.
