Taskade loves to advertise $8/month pricing, but that's before you add their AI features for another $19/month per person. Meanwhile, TaskLoco gives you everything at one transparent price with no hidden AI taxes or upgrade pressure.
This isn't about feature count—it's about whether you want mind maps and AI automation or simple sticky notes that actually work for real teams. One product tries to be everything to everyone. The other does one thing exceptionally well.
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.

Pricing: Simple vs Complicated
TaskLoco charges $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50) with no hidden fees, no AI add-ons, no team minimums. Every feature is included. Every person pays the same rate.
Taskade starts at $8/month per user for the "Pro" plan, but their AI features cost an additional $19/month per user. Want unlimited projects? That's another tier. Need advanced permissions? Another tier. Their "Starter" plan at $4/month is basically unusable with severe limits.
Most teams end up paying $27/month per person on Taskade once they add AI. That's nearly triple TaskLoco's transparent pricing, and you're still dealing with complex workspace management instead of simple sticky notes.
Interface: Sticky Notes vs Mind Maps
TaskLoco built around the sticky note—the most universally understood productivity tool. Create a note, stick it somewhere, share it with your team. No learning curve, no training sessions, no onboarding complexity.
Taskade revolves around mind maps, hierarchical outlines, and visual project structures. It's powerful if your team thinks in flowcharts and nested bullet points. But most people just want to write down a task and check it off later.
Both approaches work, but they serve different mindsets. If your team already uses physical sticky notes or simple task lists, TaskLoco translates that workflow directly to digital. If your team loves mind mapping and visual organization, Taskade offers more structured thinking tools.
Team Features: Real-Time vs Workspace Management
TaskLoco sharing works like email—share individual notes or entire collections with specific people. Real-time updates, email notifications when teammates add comments, and simple permission controls. Each person subscribes individually.
Taskade organizes everything into workspaces with complex permission matrices, team roles, and hierarchical access controls. You get admin dashboards, member management, and enterprise-style governance. Their team plans start at higher per-seat pricing with workspace minimums.
Taskade's approach works that need formal project structures. But most teams just want to share tasks without becoming workspace administrators. TaskLoco gives you collaboration without the overhead.
AI and Automation: None vs Everything
TaskLoco has zero AI features. No automated task generation, no smart suggestions, no AI writing assistance. It's purely manual—you write your own tasks, set your own reminders, organize your own notes.
Taskade built their entire value proposition around AI. Their $19/month AI add-on includes automated project creation, smart task suggestions, AI writing assistance, and automated workflow generation. It's impressive technology if you want machines helping with your productivity.
The choice depends on your philosophy. Some teams want AI reducing their mental load and generating ideas. Other teams want full control over their tasks without algorithmic interference. Neither approach is wrong—they're just different philosophies about how humans should work.
