The free tier
Yes, permanently. The free Beginner plan allows five active projects, five collaborators and three filter views — but no reminders and no file attachments.
Worth knowing before you sign up
- Reminders are behind the paid tier, which is the single most common reason people upgrade.
- Prices rose in December 2025 — Pro went from $48 to $60 a year, and monthly from $5 to $7.
- It has no built-in time tracking, no task dependencies and no native calendar beyond syncing.
- The five-project cap on the free plan arrives quickly for anyone organising more than a simple list.
Who it suits
People who want to capture tasks quickly and get on with the day. The free tier genuinely works for simple personal lists.
