Shiplist vs Todoist
Todoist is great for managing ongoing work. Shiplist is for projects that actually end.
Todoist has grown into a genuine project management tool — it has boards, team workspaces, task assignment, and collaboration features. For managing ongoing, recurring work across a team, it works well. But Shiplist is built around a different idea: projects should have a finish line. A real completion percentage, a moment of done. If you're building and shipping things, that distinction matters.
Todoist is worth it if…
- your work is ongoing and recurring, not project-by-project
- you want list, board, and calendar views in one app
- you need shared task management across different areas of work
- you want a polished app on every platform
Shiplist makes more sense if…
- you want to see real project progress — actual % done, not task counts
- you want projects that complete, not just accumulate
- you want a public project page to build in public
- you're a team of 1-10 and want a flat price, not per-user billing
