Habitica
Pros
- XP, loot, and parties make chores feel like a light RPG
- Habit streaks and dailies share one ledger with todos
- Core grind stays free without a paywall on motivation
- Pixel art gives the habit loop a memorable hook
- Guild content adds accountability when you opt in
Cons
- Cartoon progression polarizes anyone who dislikes game vibes
- Guild chat noise can distract from the checklist
- Tag hierarchy stays shallow versus Todoist filters

Todoist
Pros
- Quick-add bar and natural language stay the benchmark
- Filters, labels, and saved searches survive years of scale
- Karma points give light feedback without cartoon overload
- Cross-platform clients match between Android and iOS
- Balance stays powerful yet plain for consulting stacks
Cons
- TickTick ships more heatmaps, Pomodoro, and habits out of the box
- Calendar-first planning still pushes people toward dedicated apps
- Ultra-short lists feel heavy inside this much structure
- Discount hunters wait for yearly promos before upgrading
