TickTick charges $35.99 per year per person for Premium features like calendar view, reminders, and file attachments. TaskLoco gives you the same functionality for $4.99 per month per person with charter pricing — and if you're just getting started, TaskLoco's free tiers are more generous.
Both apps handle tasks, notes, and reminders well. The real difference is pricing structure and approach: TickTick focuses on complex project management features, while TaskLoco keeps things simple with sticky note-style task management that actually works.
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.

Free Tiers: TaskLoco Wins By Default
TickTick's free plan limits you to 2 calendar subscriptions, 1 reminder per task, and 99 tasks in smart lists. You can't attach files, can't use the calendar view, and premium templates are locked away.
TaskLoco offers two free options. Lite gives you 20 notes with complete offline access and no account required — it works in airplane mode forever. Lite Plus+ requires a Google sign-in but syncs 30 notes across all your devices and includes the Chrome extension for one-click webpage capture.
If you need more than basic task management, both apps require paid subscriptions. But TaskLoco's free tiers are genuinely useful, not just teaser versions.
Premium Features: Nearly Identical
TickTick Premium costs $35.99 per year per person and includes calendar view, unlimited reminders, 100MB file attachments, custom smart lists, and premium themes. The annual billing is mandatory — no monthly option.
TaskLoco Premium includes unlimited notes and tasks, 10GB file storage (100x more than TickTick), reminders, calendar view, and team sharing. The 10GB storage handles large files, videos, and documents that TickTick's 100MB limit can't touch.
Both apps sync across devices, both offer reminders, both have calendar views. TickTick adds habit tracking and Eisenhower Matrix templates. TaskLoco adds better file handling and simpler team sharing.
Team Sharing: Different Philosophies
TickTick's team features require Business plans starting at $5.99 per user per month, billed annually. You get project assignments, team activity feeds, and admin controls. It's built for formal project management.
TaskLoco Premium includes team sharing by default. Share individual notes or entire collections, get email notifications when teammates update shared items, and see real-time changes. No separate business tier required.
TickTick's approach works better for large teams with formal project workflows. TaskLoco's simpler sharing works better for small teams that need to collaborate on tasks and notes without enterprise complexity.
Pricing Reality Check
TickTick Premium costs $35.99 per year per person, paid annually. Monthly billing isn't available. Business plans jump to $5.99 per user per month for team features.
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
The math is straightforward: TaskLoco costs less for individual users and way less for teams. TickTick's strength is habit tracking and project templates. TaskLoco's strength is straightforward task management without the complexity tax.
