Monday.com promises to replace your sticky notes with colorful boards and workflows. But what if you actually like sticky notes? What if you don't need Gantt charts, automation rules, and 47 different view types?
TaskLoco keeps the sticky note simplicity you know while adding the digital features you need: sync across devices, file attachments, team sharing, and reminders. No training required. No complex setup. Just digital sticky notes that actually work.
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.

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.

Sticky Notes vs Project Management Boards
Monday.com transforms your work into colorful boards with status columns, timeline views, and automation rules. Each task becomes a row in a spreadsheet-like interface with custom fields, dependencies, and workflow stages.
TaskLoco keeps it simple: digital sticky notes. Create a note, add text, attach files, set reminders. No columns to configure, no statuses to define, no workflows to map out. You get the flexibility of physical sticky notes with digital superpowers.
The trade-off is obvious: Monday.com handles complex project management with dependencies and timelines. TaskLoco handles individual tasks and simple collaboration. Pick based on your actual needs, not what sounds impressive in demos.
File Attachments: Simple vs Enterprise
Monday.com stores files within their board structure. Upload to specific items, organize by project phases, control access through board permissions. Files become part of the workflow — useful for formal project management but overkill for quick reference materials.
TaskLoco attaches files directly to notes. Drop a PDF onto a sticky note, it's attached. No boards to navigate, no permission layers to configure. Premium includes 10GB storage with options to scale up to 1TB.
If you're managing formal projects with structured file organization, Monday.com's approach makes sense. If you need to attach a screenshot to a quick note or reference a document while working, TaskLoco's simplicity wins.
Team Collaboration: Workflows vs Shared Notes
Monday.com excels at structured team collaboration. Assign tasks to specific team members, track progress through status columns, get notifications when items move between workflow stages. Perfect for teams that need accountability and process tracking.
TaskLoco offers shared notes with real-time sync. Team members can edit the same note simultaneously, get email notifications on changes, and see updates instantly across all devices. Think Google Docs for sticky notes.
The choice depends on your team dynamic. Structured projects with clear handoffs benefit from Monday.com's workflow approach. Quick collaboration and informal task sharing work better with TaskLoco's shared notes.
Pricing: Per-User Scaling vs Flat Rate
Monday.com pricing starts at $8/month per user for Basic (up to 3 users), $10/month per user for Standard, $16/month per user for Pro, and $24/month per user for Enterprise. Minimum 3 users on paid plans means your smallest team costs $24/month.
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
For small teams, TaskLoco costs significantly less. A 3-person team pays $15/month with TaskLoco charter pricing vs $24-72/month with Monday.com depending on features needed. As teams grow larger, the gap narrows but TaskLoco remains consistently cheaper.
