Todoist built its reputation on natural language task parsing — type "Call mom tomorrow at 2pm" and it automatically sets the reminder. But after years of incremental updates, many users find themselves hitting walls with file storage limits, project restrictions, and enterprise pricing jumps.
TaskLoco takes a different approach: unlimited notes and tasks, 10GB file storage, and straightforward per-person pricing without artificial limits. Here's how they actually compare when you dig into the details.
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.

File Storage: 10GB vs 100MB
Todoist Pro gives you 100MB of file storage. That's roughly 25 photos or a handful of PDFs. TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB — that's 100 times more storage in the base plan.
With Todoist, you'll hit that 100MB ceiling fast if you attach meeting notes, contracts, or project files. Upgrading to Todoist Business ($6/month per person) doesn't help — it's still 100MB. Only Todoist Enterprise gets you more storage, and they don't publish that pricing.
Both apps let you attach files directly to tasks, but TaskLoco's storage advantage means you can actually use the feature without constantly managing space.
Natural Language vs Manual Entry
Todoist's killer feature remains its natural language processing. Type "Review budget next Friday at 10am #work" and it creates the task with the right date, time, and project. It handles recurring tasks elegantly too — "Water plants every Monday" just works.
TaskLoco requires manual date and time selection. You click the reminder icon, pick your date and time from dropdowns. It's more clicks but also more predictable — you always know exactly what you're setting.
Both apps sync reminders across devices, but Todoist's natural language makes rapid task entry significantly faster for power users.
Team Sharing Without Project Limits
Todoist structures everything around projects. In the Pro plan ($4/month per person), you get 300 projects total across your entire account. Share projects with teammates and those 300 get consumed fast — especially if you organize by client, department, or time period.
TaskLoco approaches sharing differently. Every note can be shared individually with specific team members. No project hierarchy required. You're not artificially limited by project counts or sharing structures.
Todoist Business ($6/month per person) removes the 300-project limit, but TaskLoco's sharing model eliminates the need to think in projects at all.
Integrations and Ecosystem
Todoist connects with Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Zapier, and dozens of other services. If your workflow depends on automated task creation from emails or calendar events, Todoist's integration ecosystem is hard to beat.
TaskLoco focuses on core functionality first. You get a Chrome extension that captures any webpage as a note in one click, plus basic calendar sync for reminders. No elaborate automation chains or third-party connections.
Todoist's Karma system gamifies productivity with points and streaks. TaskLoco skips the gamification entirely — your motivation comes from actually completing tasks, not collecting points.
