TickTick vs Vikunja

TickTick is a task and reminder app with recurring tasks, subtasks, and calendar sync. Its calendar includes yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, and agenda views, while reminders can repeat weekly, monthly, yearly, or on custom schedules. Users can share lists, assign tasks, and collaborate with friends or colleagues. Other features include Pomodoro, habit tracking, countdowns, Kanban, timeline, and Eisenhower Matrix tools, plus more than 40 themes. TickTick is available on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and also lists a Chrome extension. The free plan includes 9 lists and up to 99 tasks per list; it also allows 1 attachment per day and 2 shared members. Premium costs $49.99 per year and raises limits to 299 lists and 999 tasks per list. It adds higher attachment and collaboration limits. TickTick integrates with Notion and supports MCP, CLI, and OpenClaw workflows. If Premium expires, stored data remains, but Premium features are no longer available.

Vikunja is an open-source task and project management app that can be self-hosted or used through cloud plans. Tasks can be organized as lists, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, or tables, with due dates, reminders, repeating schedules, subtasks, labels, priorities, assignments, attachments, and relations. Projects can be shared with another user or team, or through a link that does not require an account. Vikunja includes CalDAV integration and migration support for Todoist, Trello, and Microsoft To-Do. The self-hosted core is free under the AGPLv3 license, but server maintenance, updates, and backups are self-managed. Paid cloud plans start with Personal at €4 a month, including 10GB of attachment storage. Family costs €10 a month for up to five users, while Organization costs €5 a month per user. Vikunja Cloud is hosted at Hetzner locations in Germany and Finland. Desktop apps are available for Linux and Windows; the maker notes that mobile apps support only very basic features.
