Teamwork wants to be your entire project management command center. TaskLoco just wants to be your digital sticky note wall. The question isn't which has more features — it's whether you need a Ferrari to drive to the grocery store.
Teamwork charges $10.99 to $39.99 per month per person for project timelines, Gantt charts, and client billing. TaskLoco gives you unlimited notes, reminders, and file attachments. Different tools, different problems.
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 Complex Tiers
Teamwork loves complicated pricing. Their Starter plan costs $10.99/month per person for 2 projects and basic features. Pro jumps to $18.99/month per person. Premium hits $39.99/month per person for advanced reporting and custom fields.
TaskLoco has one price: $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Teamwork also charges extra for client access, time tracking add-ons, and advanced integrations. TaskLoco includes everything in one subscription — no surprise fees, no feature gates based on how much you pay.
Feature Complexity: Sticky Notes vs Project Command Center
Teamwork is built for agencies managing client projects with dependencies, timelines, and billing. You get Gantt charts, project templates, time tracking, client portals, and detailed reporting dashboards.
TaskLoco is built around sticky notes. Create a note, set a reminder, attach files, share with teammates. No project setup, no user roles, no workflow approvals.
Teamwork requires training. TaskLoco works like physical sticky notes — if you can use those, you can use TaskLoco. The learning curve is measured in minutes, not weeks.
Team Collaboration: Real-time Notes vs Project Workflows
Teamwork excels at structured collaboration. Project managers assign tasks, set dependencies, track time, and generate client reports. Team members get notifications about their specific assignments within the project hierarchy.
TaskLoco treats every team member equally. Anyone can create notes, set reminders, and share with the team. Notes update in real-time across devices with email notifications for important updates.
Teamwork requires someone to manage the system — creating projects, assigning tasks, monitoring progress. TaskLoco manages itself — notes appear when created, reminders fire when due, files stay attached.
Getting Started: Instant vs Setup Required
Teamwork requires project setup before you can create your first task. Choose a template, set up team roles, configure workflows, invite clients to specific project areas. It's powerful but not instant.
TaskLoco starts with a blank wall. Create your first note immediately — no project setup, no templates, no configuration. The Chrome extension captures webpages in one click. Mobile apps work offline without any account.
Teamwork's complexity pays off for agencies billing clients and tracking project profitability. TaskLoco's simplicity pays off for teams that want to capture ideas and get things done without overhead.
