TL;DR: Todoist has a free Beginner plan. Pro is $60 a year ($5 a month) or $7 a month, up from $48 and $5 since December 10, 2025. For teams, Business costs $8 per user a month on yearly billing, or $10 monthly. Pro's 7-day free trial asks for a card on both billing options, and tax is added on top at checkout: in Romania, $60 became $72.60. Cancel yearly Pro within 30 days for a full refund; monthly payments aren't refunded.
Todoist (todoist.com) is one of the best-known to-do apps: fast capture in plain language ("call mom every Sunday"), projects, labels and filters, on almost every platform. We read Todoist's pricing page and help center, and used a free Todoist account in the Mac app on November 4, 2026: we hit the free plan's limits and opened both Pro checkouts, stopping before paying. Every screenshot is ours.
How much does Todoist cost?
| Plan | Yearly billing | Monthly billing | Free trial | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Free | Free | Not needed | Personal lists, up to 5 projects |
| Pro | $60 a year ($5 a month) | $7 a month ($84 a year) | 7 days, card required | One person who needs more projects, reminders and the calendar |
| Business | $8 per user a month ($96 a year) | $10 per user a month | 14 days | Teams with a shared workspace |
Paying yearly for Pro saves $24 against twelve monthly payments, which is the "Save $24" Todoist shows in the app. Prices are in US dollars, before tax.
Todoist raised its prices in December 2025
On December 10, 2025, Todoist put up the price of both paid plans. Its help center lists the old and new prices side by side:
| Plan | Before Dec 10, 2025 | Since Dec 10, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro, yearly | $48 a year | $60 a year | +$12 (25%) |
| Pro, monthly | $5 a month | $7 a month | +$2 (40%) |
| Business, yearly | $72 per user a year | $96 per user a year | +$24 (33%) |
| Business, monthly | $8 per user a month | $10 per user a month | +$2 (25%) |
The new price applied at each subscriber's next renewal on or after that date. Two groups kept their old price on what Todoist calls the Pro Legacy plan:
- People subscribed to Pro continuously since before June 2022
- Anyone who subscribed through the iPhone App Store before December 10, 2025, because Apple doesn't let apps raise an existing subscription's price automatically
Pro Legacy keeps the features Pro had on December 10, 2025, but doesn't get new paid features added since. You lose the legacy price if you change your billing cycle, switch to Business, take a refund or move to another app store.
Prices outside the US
Todoist's pricing page has a currency menu. These are the prices it showed in each currency on October 30, 2026:
| Currency | Pro, yearly | Pro, monthly | Business, per user yearly | Business, per user monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US dollar | $60 | $7 | $96 | $10 |
| Euro | 60 € | 7 € | 96 € | 10 € |
| British pound | £60 | £7 | £96 | £10 |
| Canadian dollar | CA$84 | CA$10 | CA$120 | CA$14 |
| Australian dollar | A$108 | A$12 | A$144 | A$16 |
| Swiss franc | CHF 60 | CHF 7 | CHF 84 | CHF 9 |
| Danish krone | 540 kr. | 60 kr. | 768 kr. | 85 kr. |
| Swedish krona | 840 kr | 90 kr | 1,164 kr | 129 kr |
| Norwegian krone | 840 kr | 90 kr | 1,164 kr | 129 kr |
| Polish złoty | 285 zł | 30 zł | 400 zł | 42 zł |
| Czech koruna | 1,585 Kč | 165 Kč | 2,255 Kč | 235 Kč |
| Japanese yen | ¥8,064 | ¥894 | ¥11,520 | ¥1,280 |
| Indian rupee | ₹6,330 | ₹660 | ₹9,000 | ₹940 |
Two things to know:
- India: the pricing page's rupee option shows ₹6,330 a year, but Todoist's help center says the localized yearly price in India is ₹3,165, and that a ₹6,330 charge is "an automatic conversion of the USD Pro price". Check the price at checkout.
- You choose your currency once. In the app, the trial window warns: "You cannot change your currency later."
What the free plan includes, and where it stops
Beginner is a capable to-do app: tasks with due dates and recurring dates, priorities, labels, sub-tasks, list and board layouts, and an automatic reminder for tasks with a date and time. The limits show up quickly.
5 projects
The sidebar counts your projects. At 5, it reads "Used: 5/5", and Add project gets an upgrade badge:
No calendar layout
Choosing Calendar under Display opens the Pro trial window instead:
Custom and location reminders
Free gets a reminder at the time of a task. Reminders at another date and time, or when you arrive or leave a place, need Pro:
| Feature | Beginner (free) | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Personal projects | 5 | 300 |
| Filter views | 3 | 150 |
| Activity history | 7 days | Full |
| Calendar layout | No | Yes |
| Task durations and deadlines | No | Yes |
| Custom, time and location reminders | No | Yes |
| Ramble voice capture | 10 sessions a month | Unlimited |
| Task Assist and Email Assist | No | Yes |
What the checkout charges
In Settings, then Subscription, the free plan shows a Try Pro for free button:
The trial window opens on yearly billing: $0 today, then $60 a year when the 7 days are up. "More options" reveals monthly at $7, with the same 7-day trial:
Get your free trial opens a Stripe checkout. Two things only show up here: the trial asks for a card (or Apple Pay or Link), and tax is added on top of the listed price. For our account in Romania, 21% VAT turned $60 into $72.60 a year and $7 into $8.47 a month:
| You choose | Today | After 7 days (US, before tax) | Romania, with 21% VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro, yearly | $0 | $60 a year | $72.60 a year |
| Pro, monthly | $0 | $7 a month | $8.47 a month |
When the trial ends, Pro starts automatically unless you cancel. Each account gets one free trial, and you can't pause it.
Refunds and cancelling
- Yearly Pro: cancel within 30 days of buying or renewing and you get a full refund. On the web you can do it yourself: cancel and choose to end the subscription immediately with a refund.
- Monthly: not refundable, unless your country's consumer law requires it. You keep Pro until the end of the month.
- App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store: App Store refunds go through Apple. Yearly Google Play purchases can be refunded by Todoist's support within 30 days. Microsoft Store purchases aren't refundable.
- Cancelling the trial: in Settings, then Subscription, click Cancel plan. You keep Pro until the trial's end date.
- After you cancel: your account moves to Beginner and the free limits apply again.
What reviewers say
On the US App Store, Todoist was rated 4.8 out of 5 from 130,000 ratings when we checked, and it carries Apple's Editors' Choice badge.
Long-time users describe it as something they can't work without:
"I cannot do life without this tool." Laura JD, App Store, August 2026
Others point out that it suits list people more than visual planners:
"Good for list-oriented people, but could be perfect with a few more features." CraftyLittleDragonfly, App Store, October 2019
Is Todoist Pro worth the money?
Pro suits you if:
- You've hit 5 projects, or want filters for different parts of your life
- You want the calendar layout, task durations and reminders at any time or place
- Todoist is open all day on several of your devices, including Windows, Android or the web
Stay on Beginner if:
- 5 projects and a reminder at the task's time cover you
- You capture tasks and plan your day somewhere else
Compared with the apps we've covered: Pro's $60 a year is a little more than TickTick Premium at $49.99, and less than Amazing Marvin at $96. Things 3 costs $59.98 once for Mac and iPhone, but only runs on Apple devices.
Other planners worth a look
| If you want… | Look at | What it does well |
|---|---|---|
| A cheaper all-platform to-do app | TickTick | Lists, habits and a Pomodoro timer, with Premium at $49.99 a year |
| To pay once instead of every year | Things 3 | A polished Apple-only to-do app from $9.99, one-time |
| AI help with planning the day | Best AI planner apps | Six AI planners compared, from autopilot to coach |
| A day you can actually finish | Dayplan | An AI executive function coach you can text in iMessage, three must-dos, and breaks built into the plan |
Dayplan is our product. Todoist is great at holding everything you need to do; Dayplan's Coach helps you decide what fits today and actually start: it drafts a plan around your hours, hands you a tiny first step when you're stuck, and checks in by iMessage. See how Coach works.
Todoist pricing FAQ
$60 a year ($5 a month) or $7 a month in the US, before tax. In euros and pounds it's 60 € or £60 a year, and 7 € or £7 a month.
Yes. On December 10, 2025, Pro went from $48 to $60 a year and from $5 to $7 a month. Business went from $6 to $8 per user a month yearly, and from $8 to $10 monthly.
Yes. The Beginner plan is free with up to 5 personal projects, 3 filter views and reminders at the time of a task. The calendar layout and custom reminders need Pro.
Yes. The 7-day Pro trial asks for a card, Apple Pay or Link at checkout, on both yearly and monthly billing. Pro starts automatically after 7 days unless you cancel.
For yearly Pro, yes, within 30 days of buying or renewing. Monthly payments aren't refunded unless your country's law requires it. App Store purchases are refunded through Apple.
It's the old Pro price kept for people subscribed since before June 2022 and for App Store subscribers from before December 10, 2025. It doesn't get paid features released after that date.
The listed prices don't include tax. Stripe adds your country's VAT or sales tax at checkout; in Romania that was 21%, so $60 became $72.60 a year.
How we checked
On October 30, 2026 we read Todoist's pricing page in all 13 currencies and both billing modes, and its help articles on plans, the Pro trial, refunds, Pro Legacy and the 2025 price updates for Pro and Business, and saved a screenshot and the text of each. On November 4, 2026 we used a free Todoist account in the Mac app: we created five projects, tried the calendar layout and custom and location reminders, and opened the Stripe checkout for yearly and monthly Pro without entering a card. The account was set to Romania, so the checkout added Romanian VAT; we removed personal details from the screenshots. App Store ratings are from the US listing. Prices change, so if you spot a difference, email us and we'll update this page. That includes the Todoist team.
